A passionate commitment to multiculturalism, student access, and academic achievement connects the fourteen units of the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity. Programs provide student services and promote curriculum, faculty and staff diversity. Most are located on or near the UW’s Seattle campus—some offer services in the city of Goldendale, and Skagit, Snohomish, and Yakima counties. A strong outreach component keeps OMA&D in touch with state and local high schools and community organizations.

The Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity offers programs that:

• Help students grades 6-12 think about and prepare for college
• Support academic excellence and undergraduate achievement
• Encourage students to consider graduate and professional studies
• Graduate future leaders and mentors from diverse backgrounds
• Build a welcoming campus climate for students, faculty, and staff
• Advocate, create and carry out campus diversity efforts
• Engage with alumni and diverse communities
