We are excited to share the OMA will be rebranding as the Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Multicultural Education (ODIME). This name change is key pillar of the office's strategic plan and has been informed by various conversations with campus stakeholders including students, faculty, staff, and alumni. This new entity will continue to promote and enhance student diversity initiatives on campus while also expanding and designing new programs and services for the WPI community. Please be on the lookout for more announcements about our strategic initiatives...we are just getting started!
Mission
