Every Wildcat can experience “K-State family,” thanks to the work of the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs. As a public university preparing graduates for a global world, Kansas State University recognizes that excellence and diversity are one and the same.
A land-grant university for all people
As a land-grant university, we are charged with being the university for all people. The Office of Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs provides leadership to make certain all people have access to a K-State education and know they belong on campus.
A physical gathering space
Since K-State dedicated the Morris Family Multicultural Student Center in 2020, it has become a home to students of diverse experience where they can “be themselves” and connect among more than 40 multicultural student organizations. Ultimately, the multicultural student center is a place for all students to meet and find what connects them to K-State family. The Fang family community kitchen, study and collaboration areas, a practice performance room and prayer/meditation spaces are important places where K-Staters can share their rich histories, heritage and traditions.
This center is to be a bridge to bring people together and not to break them apart.”

How you can invest in the work of the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs:
- Student programs. Change lives through opportunity. Student programs like Project IMPACT and the Developing Scholars Program identify and cultivate high-achieving, serious-minded and historically underrepresented students.
- Intercultural learning. Access to services of the Morris Family Multicultural Student Center, the LGBT Resource Center and Safe Zone means students have more ways to connect to K-State and thrive.
- Multicultural student life. Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs supports more than 40 multicultural student organizations for all students to gain leadership skills, learn about academic resources and become culturally aware.
Your support is essential to help K-State accomplish its mission of being a university for all people.
