Office of Multicultural Programs (OMP) provides a host of other services to help students succeed at NDSU. NDSU and the Office of Multicultural Programs realize the importance of supporting multicultural students because success numbers dwindle for students of color when the ability to associate with people of color is not present. We look for ways to foster relationships with multicultural faculty and staff. Outreach is one service that we provide to our students. Whether we reach out to other faculty or staff to assist in event planning or ask them to serve as advisers for student organizations, OMP always has each student's success in mind.

OMP Staff has also assisted students with advocating on their behalf and providing advising and counseling to students. With assistance or referrals to agencies that can assist, student success can be achieved.
