Department of Multicultural Services
The Department of Multicultural Services (DMS) is located in the Memorial Student Center (MSC). The department collaborates with campus units and stakeholders to provide students with social integration opportunities through holistic engagement and development. Every student brings their own experiences and goals that guide their behavior, values that orient and drive their commitments, and ways their experiences, norms, and values are communicated. The department’s transition, persistence, and skill development opportunities engage and support students in becoming and remaining incorporated in the intellectual and social life of the university which results in their academic and personal success on campus and beyond. Whether just getting started, looking to stay on track, or wanting to grow skills, we offer programs to help students adjust, connect, and reach their goals. From transition support to workshops and hands-on learning, we’re focused on helping students foster authentic and meaningful connections, build confidence, stay motivated, and thrive as members of the Aggie family.
