Officially as of July 1, 2023, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Student Success & Outreach have joined together to become The MOSAIC Center.
Due to a university wide web redesign, we are unable to make changes to the information displayed on our website.

For questions, please email mosaic@seattleu.edu or visit us in person during our office hours.
Thanks for your patience as we navigate through change together.
The Office of Multicultural Affairs works to promote an inclusive learning environment for all students to enhance their understanding of identity and power, to build intercultural awareness and skills, and to support the success of students from historically underrepresented backgrounds.
The Office of Multicultural Affairs at Seattle University will be a national model for best practices in cultural solidarity, advocacy, and mentorship for underrepresented students within collegiate Jesuit education.
The focal points of our work in Office of Multicultural Affairs are to:
1. Establish a sense of cultural solidarity, community, and belonging among our underrepresented students
2. Assist in the retention of students from underrepresented student groups through the provision of programs, events, and services
3. Support students in their multicultural competency development
4. Serve as a campus partner on issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for students
