Friends University is strengthening its commitment to an environment of diversity and inclusiveness by establishing a multicultural engagement program to enrich the lives of students.
The University has a strong desire to see their community explore the important issues of engaging with their world. They want University graduates to become role models for a more inclusive and God-honoring way of interacting with others.
The University hired Crystal Aluko as director of multicultural engagement and student affairs in January to lead the initiative. She will be working closely with international students, student athletes and underrepresented student populations.
Some of the outcomes the University would like to see from the program include: enriching the culture and Friends University experience for all students; encouraging more engagement between students from different backgrounds and experiences; and providing leadership and professional development training related to diversity and inclusion across campus.
