Office of Multicultural Affairs - 40th Anniversary!
OMA is 40!
In September 1969 Seattle University established the Office of Minority Affairs in response to activism from students, faculty, and staff. The office has evolved over time to meet the needs of successive generations of students. Now the Office of Multicultural Affairs, our mission is to work with all members of the university community in a social justice framework to promote the leadership formation, wellness, and success of students of color and queer students.
Look out for events marketed with our 40th anniversary logo. We’ll be celebrating all year long with lectures and dialogues, networking opportunities, and fundraising to support retention of students facing financial emergencies.
Save the date for our gala celebration on Thursday, May 6. We’ll make more information available in the coming months. In the meantime, if you have pictures and stories to share, please get in touch with us: oma@seattleu.edu or 206-296-6070.
