Office of Multicultural Programs and International Students

The mission of the Office of Multicultural Programs is to provide programs and services designed to encourage cultural, academic, social, personal growth and understanding among the Adrian College community.

The office also coordinates a number of educational field trips to the National Arab American Museum, Holocaust Center and the Charles Wright African American Museums to afford students an opportunity to learn about the histories of one another.

We partner with several student organizations, departments and academic Institutes to promote cultural awareness and understanding in the campus community. Through these partnerships, we hope that students will be encourages to participate in these programs so they may enjoy a rich, rewarding and holistic college experience.

In keeping with its mission, the Office of Multicultural Programs—along with various departments, student and community organizations—celebrate cultural activities such as Latino/Hispanic Heritage and Black History Months, Women’s Diversity Conference, Global Food Festival and International Week.
