Welcome
The Office of Multicultural Affairs strives to foster an inclusive and welcoming campus environment marked by an appreciation of diversity. Toward this end, we work to recruit and retain students of color, and engage members of the University community in meaningful cross cultural interactions. We seek to enhance students' personal, intellectual, and social development through creative and engaging programming. We work to empower global citizens prepared to lead their peers and carry forth the Wake Forest mission of Pro Humanitate.

Any student who feels that he or she has been subjected to offensive or discriminatory action somewhere on campus.
Student Assistance Fund
The Dean's Office Student Assistance Fund is designed to assist students with small-scale payments for required course-related expenditures that cause financial hardship, or for expenditures necessitated by personal emergencies. Students may apply for such funds (generally in amounts not to exceed $250) by writing a letter describing the situation to the Associate Dean for Academic Advising, Perry Patterson. In most cases, a professor or staff letter in support of the request will be required. Email is satisfactory for these submissions. As any funding may affect financial aid, decisions will involve the Financial Aid office, and may take up to two weeks. Requests should be made only in the case of demonstrated financial need.
See The Office of Academic Advising for more information.
