Effective May 30, 2025, the university has undergone a strategic restructuring, resulting in the sunset of the Office of Multicultural Programs and related DEI offices in accordance with institutional policy. While historical references to these offices remain in past publications, our commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable academic environment continues through new and evolving initiatives.
