The Office of Multicultural Engagement strives to advance Concordia’s efforts to embed diversity as a transformational force in academic excellence and culture through education and the celebration of diversity. OME is one catalyst for change where everyone is expected to make their own unique contribution to the transformation of Concordia University.
Our vision and work
We aspire to help create and sustain a university-wide culture that understands that diversity and equity are essential to the University’s mission and continued excellence.
