Multicultural Affairs

The primary goal of Multicultural Affairs is to foster an atmosphere of pluralism and inclusion where

diversity is respected and celebrated. To accomplish this, Multicultural Affairs offers an array of co-curricular

activities that are designed to recognize the unique contributions and traditions of the various cultural, ethnic,

gender, religious, and social groups in our society. These groups include, but are not limited to African-

Americans, Latino, Native Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders, women and the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual,

and transgender) population. Acknowledging diversity includes welcoming the exploration of differences in

opinion, thought, perception and perspective. Activities designed to increase awareness and instill cultural

sensitivity include off-campus trips, multicultural luncheons/dinners, educational displays, traveling exhibits,

workshops, classroom presentations, cultural clubs and intergroup collaboration. The Multicultural Affairs

Office is located at Peconic Building, 122. Call (631) 548-2634.
