Programs

In its mission to provide the best educational, community-building, and networking experiences for all students through the calendar year, the Office of Minority Education (OME) offers a wide range of programs and services.

Through a multitude of academic, community, and professional initiatives offered by the OME, students are empowered to thrive in a supportive setting that fosters both a pursuit of excellence and a strong sense of connection away from the comforts of home.
