Welcome to the Office of the Associate Provost for Multicultural Affairs and Academic Initiatives at the University of Vermont. Our Mission is to help support the university’s commitment to multiculturalism, diversity and social equality. We know that a multicultural and diverse learning community promotes life changing and rewarding learning experiences. Therefore, we actively seek to provide leadership and direction that will continuously improve university-wide efforts to create and maintain an inclusive and diverse community.

The Office of the Associate Provost for Multicultural Affairs and Academic Initiative is responsible for:

• Advising senior leadership on policies, programs, practices, and resources necessary to achieve excellence in multiculturalism and diversity.
• Assisting both individual faculty members and academic departments in developing courses and curricula aimed at teaching critical thinking about multiculturalism and diversity.
• Developing Professional Faculty Development Opportunities which support faculty in their quest to learn, perform research, and teach multicultural education.
• Collaborating with members of the UVM community to foster a welcoming environment that embraces inclusion.
• Supporting recruitment efforts to promote a more diverse staff, faculty and student body.
• Conducting community outreach to establish relationships and opportunities with individuals and institutions who share a mutual interest.
