Multicultural Programs and Services Mission:
The mission of Multicultural Programs and Services is to promote the academic, personal, and social success of all students, particularly those from underrepresented and historically marginalized populations. MPS values diversity and strives to transform the Virginia Tech community through cross-cultural exchange. We will increase multicultural competencies as a means of achieving educational excellence.
