About the Office of Diversity Programs and Services

The Office of Diversity Programs & Services (ODPS) serves students, cultural organizations, and the Mason community by promoting an environment that fosters and values human understanding and diversity. The office seeks to provide co-curricular services and programs that will instill university-wide appreciation for diverse perspectives and ensure equal levels of inclusion, participation, and retention of under-represented student groups in their quest for a quality education. ODPS aims to provide a collaborative array of University Life programs and outreach services at Mason and within the surrounding community in an effort to facilitate student scholastic, cultural, and social transition.
