Mission

The Center for Multicultural Affairs is committed to creating a more equitable and inclusive campus environment. We embolden students to examine the intersections of identity, to think critically about diversity, social justice, and identity formation to utilize their unique and collective voices to enact positive change.

Vision

We envision a campus community where all members are safe and able to live in full authenticity.

Values

• • Advocacy: We believe that advocacy is essential to students’ college and life successes.  We empower them with knowledge, skills and actions to create a more socially just society. 
  • Student-centered: We believe students are at the core of our work; we are invested in their academic and personal success and development.  
  • Excellence: We strive for excellence in all that we do. 
  • Integrity: We value consistency between values and actions and strive to cultivate strong moral character in all students. 
  • Social Justice: We believe in addressing inequity and harm as well as creating spaces and fostering relationships in which power is shared. We practice awareness of all forms of systemic oppression (racism, heterosexism, classism, patriarchy, etc.) as we reflect on who we are and how we engage with others.

On March 21, 2023, the Center for Multicultural Affairs welcomed the community in joyous celebration of our 50th year of existence via or Unity Through Diversity program. Though we turned 50 in the Spring of 2022, we hosted our commemorative event this semester. Born in 1972 as the Office of Black Affairs, our Center has evolved and grown in a way that has continuously been in service to a plethora of diverse communities on campus. The CMA is a vibrant, significant part of the fabric of Duke University, and we are grateful for your support!
