Multicultural Support Assessment:
x8602 Administration Building
The Office of Minority Student Services provides a number of support services
to the minority population at UMass Dartmouth. Retention is the primary function
of this office. The services include counseling, academic assistance, academic
and employment mentor programs, a minority scholarship fund and a peer counseling
program. Minority Student Services has forums on racism, sensitivity workshops,
as well as social and academic programs. We also direct programs in time management,
study skills and stress management.
Faculty input is crucial in fulfilling our goal. We encourage faculty and
advisors to contact this office regarding students who may face academic or
personal problems. We are here to assist faculty in any way possible, to aid
students in maintaining a successful undergraduate career.
"Destination...Graduation" is the theme of this office and is a constant reminder
to students as to why they are here.
