Multicultural life at Desales University envisions a community of interdependent and interconnected cultures. In this multicultural community, all its members will see themselves as ambassadors of human relations, whose individual and collective role is to promote, encourage, and support inclusiveness, respect, fairness, access, equity, and social justice for all people. Key endeavors include the support of services and programs on a wide range of topics impacting educational equity on the basis of race, color, age, marital status, gender, disability, and national origin. We strive to provide an array of services that exist to perpetuate the academic, social, and personal development of students from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
