This Week in OMSA
A Message from an OMSA Student Leader to December Graduates
The end of the semester is approaching. Some of you will be returning back in February. For others, YOU’RE GRADUATING! What an exciting time to thrive and transition into your next pathway.

A piece of advice I have for you all is to keep what you learned in college and apply it in the real world. For instance, in many jobs/tasks you come across, you will be working with different types of people from diverse backgrounds. Therefore, use what you learned from class, an OMSA event, a MOSAIC Workshop, or any other class/workshop surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and apply it to working with these individuals and getting to know them! Overall, this is an exciting time for you all and the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs wishes you luck in your future endeavors!
