The Center for Diversity and Inclusion works with a variety of organizations across the Oregon State campus. If you have any questions about their resources, feel free to contact us.

General Resources

Diversity and Cultural Engagement’s Cultural Centers

The Cultural Centers fosters an inclusive community at OSU that is committed to social justice and liberation for all people, regardless of racial/ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic class, age, and/or physical abilities. We also coordinate safe environments in which students can share their multiple identities and learn about issues of culture, heritage, history, identity, and self-expression in an atmosphere of positive engagement and mutual respect.

Educational Opportunities Program

EOP provides support to undergraduate domestic students attending classes on OSU's main campus from historically underrepresented backgrounds. EOP provides the following services:

  • Assistance through the admissions process.
  • Assistance in locating financial resources.
  • Orientation to the University.
  • Academic and personal counseling.
  • Courses to help review or fill in gaps in math, reading, and writing.
  • Assistance with finding jobs and internships, writing resumes and cover letters.

College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP)

CAMP supports eligible migrant and seasonal farm workers and their children by helping them to enroll in and complete their first year of college. CAMP also focuses on increasing the persistence of CAMP students during their second year in college and achievement of post-secondary degree.

Disability Access Services

Disability Access Services facilitates access to University programs and services through accommodations, education, consultation, and advocacy.

LSAMP

OSU LSAMP seeks to integrate underrepresented students into the academic life at Oregon State and provides them with financial, academic, social, and professional support in a coordinated effort to help them achieve their academic and professional goals.

Basic Needs Center

The BNC is a one-stop office, with a suite of supportive resources for students who are Pell-eligible, first-generation, former-foster youth, part of TRiO or EOP, undocumented, DACA recipients, among others. Today, in addition to the food pantry and Food Assistance programs like Mealbux, they are most well-known on campus for our Textbook Lending Program and assistance for those in housing crisis.

Center for Advocacy, Prevention, and Education

The Survivor Advocacy and Resource Center (SARC) and the Interpersonal Violence Prevention Team have joined together to form the Center for Advocacy, Prevention & Education (CAPE). CAPE will operate through a multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach to provide a continuum of programs and services designed to prevent interpersonal and gender-based violence and to support survivors.
