Mission and Purpose

The purpose of ODPS is to provide services that promote successful college experiences for diverse populations. These services aim to foster student development, increase cultural awareness and provide learning outcomes which are globally focused.

Are you interested in spreading the gift of diversity at CSU?

The Office of Diversity Programs and Services (ODPS) is sponsoring Diversity Peer Educators whose sole purpose is to expand the push of inclusion and nurturing unity through diversity by seeking commonality beyond obvious differences. We are seeking students who are dedicated to the promotion of diversity in a collegiate setting, while encouraging a mutual respect for cultural and social differences on our campus.  Please come by Davidson 271 if you are interested in being apart of the 2014 team.
