OMSA Student Groups

The Office of Minority Student Affairs has supports the following on campus groups whose organizations’ missions are in line with our office’s mission. We believe in supporting underrepresented students through mentorship, community building, leadership, and providing academic and professional enrichment opportunities.

Douglass Leadership House (DLH)

Named after ��ǿ�� icon Frederick Douglass, the mission of the Douglass Leadership House (DLH) is to establish an engaging intellectual community where students of all cultural backgrounds can come together and raise awareness of the many facets of the black experience; including culture, politics, history, and Diasporic roots.

Students live together in a supportive environment that celebrates African-American leadership and nurtures their own leadership skills.

Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students (MAPS)

The Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students (MAPS) is a pre-medical chapter of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) and a pipeline organization sponsored by the ��ǿ�� SNMA. It is an undergraduate organization that embodies the interest of underserved and underrepresented minority pre-health students.

MAPS is an organization that aims to provide historically underrepresented students in medicine with the tools and resources necessary to become competitive applicants to their respective health professional fields. Some of the unique benefits of being a member of ��ǿ�� MAPS are that members are exposed to unique leadership opportunities and get to be a part of the yearly regional and national conferences.

Minority Male Leadership Association (MMLA)

The Minority Male Leadership Association was founded the winter of 2013 by several minority men whom gathered on campus to share a vision to create an organization for undergraduates, graduates, and faculty/staff that would foster mentorship and success among minority men in the ��ǿ�� community.

Minority Student Advisory Board (MSAB)

The Minority Student Advisory Board was created to be a coordinating mechanism that would serve as a political, cultural and resource base in the interest of historically underrepresented minorities on campus. They believe that certain areas of University life can be enhanced through collective action by a formal organization.

Women's Leadership Alliance (WLA)

The Women's Leadership Alliance was founded by four undergraduate women at the ��ǿ�� who felt that mentoring of women is an important aspect missing from the ��ǿ�� community. The hope of this organization is to build a sisterhood among graduate and undergraduate women of color on campus and those in the ��ǿ�� City School District.
