“Student Multicultural and Diversity Programs seeks to provide a supportive environment for underrepresented students on UAB’s campus. One way we accomplish this is by providing peer mentorship opportunities that allows new students to be paired with current students who have similar identities and experiences. Our mentorship opportunities create opportunities for mentees to feel supported, as well as provide peer mentors the opportunity to develop as student leaders on campus.”

“Student Multicultural and Diversity Programs seeks to provide identity/multicultural programming that appreciates and support our diverse campus community. Additionally, these programmatic efforts seek to provide education and multicultural awareness to the UAB student body.”
