Walla Walla Community College is committed to the success of students of color. The Vice President of Student Services and the Multicultural Director ensure the college's support for students of color through the development and implementation of programs to enhance the academic, cultural, and social support for these students. Advising, cultural events, orientation, and leadership training are a few of the services provided for students by staff involved in multicultural education. In addition, Multicultural Services attempts to expand the cultural awareness and appreciation of cultural and racial diversity within the College and the Walla Walla community. Multicultural awareness provides positive steps necessary for racial and cultural acceptance--steps that affect people on a daily basis. Whether personal, academic, or community related, the goal of Multicultural Services is to help students and staff successfully cope with the challenges of daily living. Multicultural Services provides scholarships to students of color who exhibit achievement in a vocational or academic transfer program, or who demonstrate improvement in a given program of study.
