Multicultural Activities and Clubs

The diversity club welcomes all SPHHP students to attend monthly events where students have opportunities for networking, mentoring and socializing with community leaders, SPHHP alumni and other students. Events are focused on the themes of diversity and inclusion. Contact Heather Orom at horom@buffalo.edu for more information.

The Intercultural & Diversity Center’s (IDC) mission is to educate students through programs and events that increase their understanding of the multi-faceted aspects of diversity and the advantages of being at the University at Buffalo, a diverse institution. The center provides opportunities to engage in dialogue, celebrate differences and commonalities, and promote awareness about diversity and how it affects our beliefs, perceptions and the global society.

The People of Color Council (POC) focuses on celebrating, preserving and educating students about the cultures of the minority population in America. POC clubs are also active in the Buffalo community and are united with a common goal—to increase minority representation at UB, SUNY and state levels.
