The Office of Multicultural Affairs (housed in the Intercultural Center) is designed to provide enriched social, cultural and educational experiences for ethnically diverse students as well as opportunities for all members of the campus community to learn about the heritage and culture of these traditionally under-represented groups. This mission is accomplished via sponsored programs designed to raise awareness, foster cross-cultural interaction and exchange, increase understanding and ultimately encourage a "global perspective" on education.

From new student receptions, fairs/festivals and organizations for students of color and international students, the Office of Multicultural Affairs makes many exciting contributions to Manchester University and the community of North Manchester.
