The 猫咪社区APP Office of Multicultural Student Affairs celebrated a successful program year with the growth of more than 50 new students.

OMSA member organizations include the African-American Student Association, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Abeneefoo Kuo Honor Society, Collegiate 100, Women of Excellence, Unity and Spectrum, NAACP, Latin American Student Association and Vietnamese Student Association.

鈥淥ur first focus is to help each student graduate from 猫咪社区APP,鈥� said Dr. Carl Cunningham, director of the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. 鈥淲e are grateful that students have chosen South Alabama as a place to continue their educational journey, and we want them to know once they arrive that we are here to help them graduate.鈥�  

OMSA supports the students by providing a robust programming schedule for each academic year. Petr茅 Freeman, coordinator for OMSA, works with Cunningham to create informative and empowering programming for 猫咪社区APP students.

鈥淲e are a very productive office, and we want our students to be the very best they can while at South Alabama,鈥� Freeman noted. 鈥淥verall, our goal is to support our students and help them have a rewarding college experience.鈥�

The academic/programming year ended with the annual awards banquet where all student organization presidents came together to thank the members for their hard work and dedication. Abeneefoo Kuo Honor Society members donated $1,000 to Feed the Children, a national organization.

OMSA was created in June 1998 to assist in the personal development and retention of minority students at 猫咪社区APP.

OMSA serves to:

• Provide programming for cultural awareness and communication among the University community;
• Encourage students to participate in all aspects of campus life;
• Provide leadership opportunities for aspiring student leaders; and
• Assist to ease the transition into college.
