Multicultural Affairs

The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) assists the community in shaping a culturally inclusive and supportive environment in which all members contribute to and benefit from their time at RISD. OMA coordinates enriching opportunities for cultural awareness, dialogue and interaction. The staff helps students to develop leadership skills by supporting and advising campus cultural groups as they plan events, activities, lectures and similar community-building programs. The office serves the RISD community while providing specific support to RISD’s artists of color, marginalized populations and those interested in pursuing multicultural work.

The OMA Top 10
If you're looking for a little artistic inspiration, the OMA Top 10 is just the resource you need. Weekly emails provide a dynamic list of diversity-related events taking place both on-campus and within the Providence area. For an academic subscription to the OMA Top 10, send an email to diverse@risd.edu requesting to be added to their e-distribution list.
