About US

Our purpose is to serve students from ethnically diverse, as well as historically underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds. Since it's inception, Multicultural Student Services has had a name change, added five initiative programs, two student leadership programs, and served thousands of students, staff, and faculty throughout the years. We are committed to creating spaces of not only inclusion and diversity, but equity and justice and ensuring that our students, staff, and faculty know that UVU welcomes and incorporates their voices and lived experiences into our campus community.
