Mission

The mission of the Multicultural Affairs office is to offer an array of multicultural programs that emphasize the culture and diversity of the students at the university and provide year-round support services to students to empower them to become successful college graduates.

The Office of the Multicultural Student Affairs Advisor works directly with all students who fall into the categories of traditionally under-represented groups. The office serves as an advocate for students, offers services that help students with their adaptation to life at Post University, and works very closely with both the Academic Affairs and Student Services divisions. The office is located on the main floor of the Student Center and students are encouraged to drop in with any problem or issue they encounter.

Academic Competence and Excellence Summer Program (ACE)

The ACE program is designed for beginning freshmen who are highly motivated and may require additional academic skills to strengthen their ability to meet those goals.

During the summer, the Post ACE Scholars participate in a residential program and are provided intensive classroom instruction in basic skills development in reading comprehension, writing, and mathematics. Through a program of structured activities, students learn about the university, which, in turn, becomes more aware of and responsive to the needs of the ACE program scholars.

Additionally, ACE Scholars have the benefit of academic assistance and support services throughout their freshmen year. These services are part of the ACE scholars’ contract. After successful completion of the week-long summer program, ACE Scholars are awarded one credit toward their Post degree. ACE Scholars are required to meet on a weekly basis with the program director as a condition of their enrollment.
