Since 1987, the Office of Multicultural Affairs has served Tulane University and the Greater New Orleans area. We strive to promote the rich cultural resources of the Tulane Community and prepare students for the unique challenges of living in a more ethnically-diverse world. Tulane University and the city of New Orleans share common threads of cultural pluralism and diversity. The Office of Multicultural Affairs seeks to celebrate this feature as one of the greatest assets this University and this city have to offer.

The Office of Multicultural Affairs was established as a part of the Division of Student Affairs to:

• Create and provide intentional programming  and advocacy services that facilitate successful academic achievement and matriculation of ethnic minority, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender students at the University.

• Assist academic and administrative departments and units in implementing policies, programs, services, and activities that focus on successful recruitment and retention efforts for ethnic minority students.

• Help foster within the University community a respect for and an appreciation of the history, tradition, and culture of ethnic minority and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and other underrepresented student communities at Tulane.
