OMSA is for everyone.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Our office is collaborating with other departments from both campuses to bring you a month of exciting virtual events and programs. Our full event list and calendar can be found here.

Find mentorship and leadership opportunities with OMSA through our Multicultural Leadership Council and Multicultural Connections and Advisement Program.

OMSA celebrates and recognizes the cultural, academic, and political contributions of people who identify as Asian American and Pacific Islander (API), Black/African Americans, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and women by sponsoring programs and events for popular heritage months.

Discussion groups and series, living-learning communities and a student training program to become Diversity Ambassadors are just a few ways we aim to educate the VCU community.

Request training from our staff on popular topics like Building Inclusive Communities, Cross-Cultural Dialogues, Facilitating Difficult Conversations, Implicit Bias, or submit a topic idea you have.
