Multicultural Affairs

The Office of Multicultural Affairs of Fordham University upholds the University's mission to honor and revere the dignity and uniqueness of each person, in keeping with the Jesuit and Catholic fundamentals of faith, hope, and love. We seek to engage the entire Fordham community in thoughtful and authentic dialogue by providing space for reflection and exploration of the self, and reciprocal exchange and learning amongst the entire student population. We continuously challenge ourselves and the community at large to be globally minded change agents committed to viewing the world through a lens of social justice.

Diversity Peer Educator (DPE) Retreat
The purpose of the Diversity Peer Educator (DPE) program is to enhance and increase knowledge and awareness of the many facets of diversity and social justice, and to explore their impact on the Fordham University community. Peer Educators will be trained to facilitate community dialogues intended to encourage intercultural communication and exchange. DPE's will also explore the many ways in which the University's mission supports intentional reflection and authentic exchange around the fundamental tenets of diversity and social justice education

Sustained Dialogue Series
Dialogue: the root "dia" means "through" and the root "logos" means "the word." Words have two dimensions, reflection and action. It is through the word, therefore, that change can come. True dialogue requires engagement in critical thinking, which perceives reality as a process, as transformation. It is a necessary encounter amongst people to name their world.
