Mission and Goals

The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) strives to enhance the co-curricular experience of students of color and support the University’s efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. OMA achieves these goals by providing direct services to students and collaborating with members of the University and Baltimore communities to create an inclusive campus environment. The following services and programs are ways the OMA promotes diversity, leadership development and student success:

Diversity Programs and Initiatives

Diversity Education Workshops

Student Leadership Training/Orientation

Cultural Programs

Individual Consultation and Referrals

Advising for Multicultural Student Organizations

Supporting First Year students via the Mentoring Assistance Peer Program (MAPP)

Who do we support/serve?

Our office is unique. We obviously serve the entire Johns Hopkins University community, but we also support marginalized and underrepresented students with direct services that are rooted in our 25+ years of existence. OMA exists because of our students and we welcome anyone who is interested in exploring their identities through our many programs and services.
