At Anna Maria, we aim to create and maintain a campus climate based on respect, where our differences are acknowledged, not neglected, and joined with our commonalities – as this is essential for building and maintaining an engaged, inclusive college. Through our dialogues and programs we aim to promote interpersonal development, intergroup understanding, cultural empathy and humility, and critical thinking skills to prepare our students to meet the challenges of a complex and evolving society.

International Students Multicultural Guide PRIDE Multicultural Student Council The Multicultural Student Council serves to promote and support intercultural enrichment and diversity within the Anna Maria College community. Led by BIPOC students, the Multicultural Student Council strives to increase resources and awareness around cultural diversity, racial and social justice and prove opportunities for educational equity. The Multicultural Student Council encourages the use of the students’ voice to improve the quality of their educational and academic experience regarding college issues. By participating as leaders in the MSC, students learn to identify and advocate for those needs expressed by BIPOC students, while also finding resolutions and resources to address specific cultural needs. The Multicultural Student Council reports to the Director of the Office of Diversity & Inclusion and fosters collaboration with the Student Government Association and the Institutional Equity Committee. Diversity & Inclusion Lounge The Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Lounge is located on the lower level of the Bishop Flanagan Campus Center near The Hub. The D&I Lounge serves as a committed inclusive space for student, faculty and staff interaction through formal and informal opportunities. Open 24/7, the space is utilized for programming, club meetings, group study sessions and even competitive Uno games!
