Thriving Resources for Students

Multicultural Student Support

The Office of Multicultural Student Success's (OMSS) approach to advancing the cause of marginalized group members at DePaul University is rooted in our belief that systems of privilege and oppression directly impact the lives of people in this community. In light of this, OMSS staff members promote the interests of underrepresented populations at multiple levels within the institution in order to initiate change and give voice to the issues and concerns of people that may not otherwise be acknowledged. OMSS also provides academic success information, developmental programs, and key staff contacts for first generation, low income students, or students of color to empower them to be their own advocates during a time of crisis.

Students Together Are Reaching Success

The Students Together are Reaching Success (STARS) program is one year peer to peer mentoring experience for freshmen and transfer students. STARS provides students with transformative learning experiences in the following areas: academic excellence, financial fitness, leadership development, emotional wellness, and social networking.STARS provides engagement opportunities that promote increased affinity and community development. These students also can give back to the community later on in their academic careers by serving as peer mentors to future DePaul students.
