Office for Multicultural Affairs

The Office for Multicultural Programs provides the necessary support and educational experiences to enhance the learning process that helps students, faculty, staff, and administrators obtain a global perspective, appreciate diverse and multicultural students, serve the community, and ultimately assist students in succeeding in their academic and career goals.

VCSU Land Acknowledgement

We hereby acknowledge that the VCSU campus sits on traditional and ancestral lands of the Red Lake and Pembina bands of Ojibwe, and Sisseton and Wahpeton bands of Santee Dakota peoples. This land is deeply connected to the many indigenous people who have held and continue to hold it sacred. We pledge to work toward a strong and lasting relationship with Ojibwe and Dakota tribes as well as other indigenous peoples of our region to hold this land and community in celebration of its rich cultural history.
