The IC is a Comprehensive Academic Support Center

Empowering students with the skills and
tools for successful life-long learning

The mission of the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity Instructional Center is to promote the academic achievement, retention and successful graduation of under-represented minority, first-generation college and economically disadvantaged students and to improve their chances of gaining admission to graduate and professional schools. This is achieved by:

  • providing both academic support and mentoring
  • empowering students with the skills and tools for successful life-long learning
  • providing a supportive and nurturing learning community that embraces diversity, cultivates academic excellence, and fosters collaboration and engagement

An article supporting the Instructional Center was recently published in Viewpoint Magazine. Read more here.
