MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS PROGRAM

The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) serves as an advocate for multicultural students and strives to ensure that their needs are acknowledged, understood, and met. The mission of OMA is to provide a means for the academic and personal success for all multicultural students. OMA is focused on fostering student learning, cultural awareness, and developing a more pluralist and welcome environment for everyone. The office works closely with the Academic Resource Center and other departments on campus to increase academic success, development of human potential, and the retention of multicultural students.

The Multicultural Advising Program (MAP), a unit under OMA, was established in 1983 to enhance the academic welfare of multicultural students in the University System of Georgia. Services include: free academic workshops, tutorial and financial aid information, advising, peer mentoring, career resources, and so much more. OMA is an excellent starting point for multicultural students to acquire the necessary skills to become successful at Middle Georgia College and beyond.
