A Message from the DirectorThe purpose of the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) is to provide support services to ethnic minority students and assist those students in their participation in the life of the college. OMA provides services in the areas of academic outreach and student development.Student development is an important aspect of what OMA offers students. OMA supports students' social and intellectual growth, working in conjunction with Student Activities and various other student organizations to provide quality programming. Such programs include African American History Month, Native American History Month, the AASU Spades Tournament, guest speakers and much more. OMA takes a proactive view of programming. The nucleus of programming efforts target diversity, cultural competence, and education. OMA serves the Armstrong Atlantic community as a diversity resource. The Office of Multicultural Affairs is customer service oriented. Talking with students is not an interruption of work, but the mission of the office. To accomplish this goal, OMA will focus on areas of recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of minority students. The importance of OMA goes far beyond the tangible things that you measure such as retention and graduation rates. OMA symbolizes a safe haven for students and an area on campus that students can readily identify with and call their own. OMA serves as an advocate and supporter of students academically and personally.
