Supporting Multicultural Affairs at Baylor University
The Department of Multicultural Affairs, within the Division of Student Life, helps all students on their journey to self-awareness. The department assists students in learning about the many cultures represented on campus, as well as explore opportunities to dialogue across differences.
The mission of the Department of Multicultural Affairs is to enrich the holistic development of each student by encouraging them to celebrate their personal heritage and embrace the cultures of others. The department creates opportunities that enrich the holistic development of students by helping students discover their story of self as it relates to their heritage and calling, engage in the story of us as they build meaningful community, and value participation in the story of now as active and informed members of society.
Why Baylor
In a diverse world, and at a university whose diversity is growing, Baylor is committed to inclusiveness, as well as understanding and acceptance of all regardless of race or ethnicity. Consistent with our commitment to diversity and inclusion, Baylor will challenge and strive to educate all members of the University community through cultural awareness programs and by precept and example.
Baylor University is home to students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and approximately 92 other countries. The university currently has over 40 academic/professional, 17 religious, 19 Greek, and 46 special interest multicultural organizations. As a leader in international education and the world's largest Baptist university, Baylor makes it a priority to recognize and encourage all students regardless of race or ethnicity. We seek to enable and inspire students to learn about different cultural and social backgrounds that are present among their fellow students and in the local community.
Impact
Donations to Multicultural Affairs helps to transform spaces and programs while enriching the lives of our diverse student population. Our top two priorities are the Multicultural Affairs Excellence Fund and the Trailblazers Scholarship Initiative. These programs will help pave the way for future generations of Baylor Bears to grow and thrive!
