Resources for Students Given that we are the primary office for diversity and inclusion efforts within the Division of Students Affairs, the Office of Intercultural Engagement provides resources for students through programming/events put on by the two centers and through individual support given by professional staff members. Our goal is to support the overall adjustment to campus life, improve student retention and graduation rates, and enhance the overall quality of the Marquette experience for diverse students. We support a number of different identities of our students and their holistic development as engaged citizens for and with others. Some of the identities that we focus on within our office in our programming and services can include, but are not limited to: Black/African American, Latinx, Native/Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, Women, Asian and Pacific Islander, Muslim, International Students, and the intersections of all these and other identities. Although our work focuses primarily on these identities through our Heritage, History, and Awareness Month programming, our office is open to all students and fosters productive dialogue and interactions around inclusivity and multicultural engagement.
