Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs

We are committed to promoting diversity in every sector of Kansas State University by providing vision and leadership in diversifying all university functions as well as students, faculty, staff and the curriculum.

DREAMZone

The K-State DREAMZone is a safe space designed to provide support to undocumented and DACA-mented students born in various countries around the world, currently residing in the U.S.; and those from mixed-status families (family members with different immigration statuses).

Student Programs

K-State Diversity/Multicultural Student Affairs is changing lives through opportunity.

Intercultural Learning

Strengthening awareness of self and others, and understanding how to respond, behave, and reflect when around others, whether similar or different, in order to build a stronger and equitably represented K-State family.

Multicultural Student Life

There are so many opportunities and experiences available to you as a student, and we hope that you'll take advantage of everything that K-State has to offer.
