DePaul Opportunities
Office of Multicultural Student Affairs
The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) strives to help ensure that African American, Latino/a, Asian American, and Native American students and their families have a positive "DePaul experience". This positive educational experience translates into higher retention and graduation rates for DePaul's students of color. OMSA staff advocates for students, emphasizes cultural values, and provides academic support. The staff also collaborates closely with faculty and DePaul officials to help create a campus-climate that is culturally affirming and where all DePaul University students are treated with dignity and respect.
Leadership Opportunities Include:
-
- Students Together Are Reaching Success (STARS):
-
-
- A Peer Mentor in the STARS program serves as an academic mentor, an advocate, and a resource for four to six students that are assigned to them as Mentees. The Mentees are first year DePaul students that are either the first in their families to go to college, are from low-income families, or are students of color. The mentoring relationship lasts the entire year and the Peer Mentors must meet with each of their Mentees every other week as well as attend a weekly two hour staff meeting. A Peer Mentor in the STARS program should be looking for leadership development, one-on-one work with at-risk college students, and ongoing engagement with issues of social justice and diversity.
