Advancing Diversity and Inclusivity at USF

The Project

Recent unfortunate events in American society have brought to life the immediate need for greater education and understanding with regards to racial justice, social equity, human rights, diversity, and inclusion. Historically marginalized members of American society are suffering injustices and violations of their civil liberties. Our fund is designed to support the marginalized populations at USF by increasing educational opportunities for our entire community to ensure equity of success among our students while fostering community enrichment and safe and inclusive campus environments across the university. 

Who We Are 

The USF Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) is committed to the advancement of inclusive excellence by promoting diversity and inclusion via educational, cultural, and social programs across the university. This commitment ensures that all USF campuses are more inclusive through intercultural dialogue, awareness, and education. 

Our dynamic and diverse team of passionate professionals strive to support the holistic experience of historically underrepresented students. We recognize that educational strategies that engage students, staff, and faculty in critical and thought-provoking dialogues promote a cultural exchange of learning and understanding. As USF students participate in these educational strategies, they develop skills and competencies equipping them to navigate our global and multi-faceted society as competent, confident, and conscientious global citizens that can bring about social change.
