Multicultural Mission Statement
The Office of Multicultural and International Student Affairs works toward promoting and incorporating an appreciation for the multicultural nature of our society into every aspect of campus life. Educational, social, and cultural programs are the primary means that this office seeks to expand the multicultural and global perspectives of King's College students. In addition, the director of multicultural and international student affairs assists many students of color with academic, social, and personal issues. We allow for the inclusion of all who access our services and resources. We work with individual students, student organizations, faculty members, and administrators interested in fostering an environment of respect and appreciation around issues of diversity, including but not limited to race, gender, ethnicity, and social justice. By working collaboratively, we can create an environment where intercultural dialogue and interaction is encouraged and expected.

The Office of Multicultural and International Student Affairs is student-centered and, therefore, provides many opportunities for students to initiate, coordinate, and implement programs which enhance their personal, social, and intellectual development at King's College. In keeping with the College's mission, the Office of Multicultural and International Student Affairs provides co-curricular activities and programs that compliment and augment the learning which takes place in the classroom while impacting and enhancing the total college experience. Programs are designed to enhance student's cognitive skills and heighten awareness concerning contemporary issues of diversity. It is important to provide King's students with a complete college experience inside and outside of the classroom.
The Office of Multicultural and International Student Affairs provides support and advocacy for all students, especially African, Latino/Chicano, Asian, and Native American students and other under-represented groups. The primary focus is to provide services and programs which meet the needs of the ALANA community while helping them build meaningful relationships with other King's students.
The director helps international students become accustomed to our campus both academically and socially. The director also serves as the advocate for international students attending King's College and serves as coordinator of services provided by the academic and student affairs divisions of the College.
