Mosaic

The MOSAIC Initiative is designed to create an empowering support system for individuals and the entire campus community regardless of ethnicity. It provides a growth inspired atmosphere designed to help students achieve academic excellence and the development of sensitivity, understanding, and appreciation of cultural diversity through increased communication and interaction among students, the University, and the community at large.
