Welcome to the Office of Multicultural and Leadership Programs! Like our vision, this office seeks to promote the value of inclusion and diversity amongst the QU campus and community. As we begin to develop active and global citizens, the Office of Multicultural and Leadership Programs provides an environment that promotes critical thinking of one's currents views and beliefs in hopes of engaging students, staff and faculty in open dialogue about cultural issues that affect our community and the world around us. This office is also committed to upholding the QU mission of preparing our students for leadership. Through their leadership involvement, it is our hope that students will use their faith as the guiding practice in leading them to their passion through club/organization involvement and/or community involvement.
This office fosters an environment that respects all people regardless of background (race/ethnicity, religion, gender, orientation, ability, status/class, age, etc.).
