About
OMA strives to facilitate the academic excellence, personal growth, and social experiences of all students with specific commitments to students of color and other traditionally underrepresented groups. Services and resources provided by OMA ensure that the needs of our students are recognized, comprehended, and addressed. Some of these services include:
- advising students and referring them to other campus resources when necessary;
- providing peer mentoring and tutoring for academic enrichment;
- assisting in the recruitment, retention, and graduation of traditionally underrepresented students;
- advising student organizations on administrative matters and University policy; and
- conducting cross-cultural and diversity awareness training seminars.
Through programming efforts, the staff of OMA coordinates, implements, and executes comprehensive educational, cultural, and social activities that reflect the cultural diversity LSU has to offer. These sponsored enrichment activities not only enhance the collegiate experience of students of color but also cultivate cross-cultural awareness and understanding for the entire University community.
The OMA staff also provides consultation and resources to all academic and support units and student organizations regarding issues of cultural diversity, especially in the areas of teaching, research, and service.
Although OMA's services are available to all students, faculty, and staff at LSU and members of the greater Baton Rouge community, its primary constituents are students of color and other traditionally underrepresented groups. |
