We believe it’s important to balance education in the classroom with experience outside of it. Here at Mount Union, we help students get involved on campus, and our Office of Diversity and Inclusion helps to create a welcoming environment for all students. From taking a leadership role in a student organization to taking part in volunteerism, students have a variety of opportunities to grow and lead.
Mount Union offers many student organizations with a multicultural focus. The Association of International Students (AIS), Black Student Union (BSU), and Hispanic Organization Latino America (HOLA) help educate our community regarding the importance of cultural awareness.
Throughout the academic year, Mount Union also hosts a variety of diversity-focused programs, including a Martin Luther King Jr. celebration in January, Black History Month in February, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May, Hispanic Heritage Month in September and October, and American Indian History Month in November.
