Our Programs
The Diversity Scholars Program provides academic and personal support to students who have been recognized for their academic excellence and their commitment to diversity. We provide opportunities to explore and participate in activities that allow them to demonstrate their knowledge and appreciation of diversity and inclusion.
The On-Track Program is designed to provide historically underrepresented and underserved college students with a support program that will assist in ensuring academic and personal success, as well as provide opportunities for social development. The On-Track program welcomes both new and current students at Western Oregon University.
The P.A.C.E Mentorship Program is a program in the Multicultural Student Services & Programs Office that is designed to connect incoming first-generation students with dedicated peer mentors who share similar experiences. The program aims to foster a sense of belonging, increase social capital, and provide accountability for students seeking support.
Multicultural Student Union is a student organization that promotes diversity and cultural awareness throughout the WOU campus and surrounding community. MSU holds weekly meetings and plans and implements cultural programming through the year.
