Multicultural Center at A-State
The Multicultural Center is a space that supports, connects, and encourages inclusion in campus life at Arkansas State University. It is a place that helps nurture a learning community that respects differences, values understanding, and helps every student feel like they belong.
A space for everyone
The Multicultural Center at A-State was built with the spirit of creating a supportive, friendly environment that respects differences. Rather than being just a physical location, it is part of the campus life ecosystem that helps students feel welcomed and gives them a voice within the learning community.
The university's 2025–2026 Student Handbook also clearly states that the mission of the Office of Multicultural Affairs is to promote an inclusive environment where students from all backgrounds have access to social, cultural, educational, and leadership opportunities.
