探索ISE资源

UNE’s history of support for traditionally under-represented students is long and reflects the demographics of our students over time. Following recommendation from the President’s committee on diversity, a single 工作人员 member was hired in the mid-2000s to support students of color in their academic pursuits. 后不久, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Diversity was founded, with an expanded mission of support for LGBTQ+ persons. 的 office and Cultural Exchange Lounge were originally located in the lower level of Decary Hall on UNE’s Biddeford Campus, 但是现在调用 校园中心 首页. 随着时间的推移, 雇用了更多的工作人员, the scope of the office expanded to formally include religious and spiritual education and services have grown greatly. 今天, we provide support services to students, 工作人员, and faculty on UNE’s Biddeford and Portland campuses.

2015年夏天, we changed our name to 跨文化学生参与 to reflect changes in universities throughout New England and to better describe our work: learning and understanding across cultural divisions and differences.
