Advising Student Organizations

Multicultural Services and Programs is committed to helping the community at the University of Georgia in creating an inclusive environment and improving the retention of all students, particularly those who identify as members of underrepresented populations.  With the support of students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends we offer opportunities to develop an appreciation and respect for cultural similarities and differences by promoting student leadership, academic achievement, and celebrating the contributions and heritage of UGA’s diverse population.

MSP provides advice to student organizations on matters involving program development, marketing, budgeting, and conducting training/leadership programs throughout the year.  In addition, the staff assists student leaders in designing strategies for success in developing, implementing, and evaluating programs focused on increasing awareness and appreciation of Multiculturalism.
