The mission of the Center for Student Diversity is to meet the needs of underrepresented and historically marginalized students by providing support, advocacy, guidance, and training services for the greater Mount community. We develop students, faculty, staff, and administrators who are more culturally aware and accepting of others who may be different from themselves to produce a socially justice minded environment for all.

The Center for Student Diversity is a model for diversity education and multicultural student success, and fosters a climate within the campus community which recognizes the value that multicultural diversity brings to the total educational experience.

Our Goals

* Develop and coordinate programs and services to support the retention, progression and graduation of minority/underrepresented students.

* Deliver training and resources to address discrimination, bias, misconceptions, and stereotypes.

* Collaborate with faculty, other student service units, and recognized student organizations to provide programming specific to cultural and ethnic diversity.
