Cultural Diversity

Diversity is a description of the way God created people. Understanding and respecting individuals who are different from one’s self, whether racially, socially, ideologically or spiritually, is a natural outcome of understanding the vast diversity of God’s creation.

At ACU, The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) oversees student groups on campus that focus on multicultural diversity. OMA also sponsors a number of programs and events that promote and showcase cultural diversity on campus. The mission of OMA is to enrich the holistic development of each student by encouraging them to recognize and embrace the uniqueness of their personal culture while valuing the culture of others.
