Ethnic Programs & Services

Ethnic Programs & Services (EPS) supports your student experience by providing programs and events that promote your academic excellence and provide space for positive social connection with other bearcats, cultural enrichment, and leadership development. We value the opportunity to connect with members of the university community and see every interaction as an opportunity to:

  • Enhance the cultural, ethnic, and racial awareness of the entire university community
  • Support the needs, growth, and development of students of color
  • Build bridges between the university and the community
  • Address the academic, social, spiritual and cultural needs of the campus community

Ethnic Programs & Services provides a culturally inclusive environment by enhancing the growth and development of underrepresented students through intentional programming, academic and community engagement, and the access of resources.
