Multicultural Outreach

The Multicultural Outreach office seeks to create a diverse student body through access and exposure to Penn State opportunities and resources.

We recognize and believe strongly that the diversity of faculty, staff, and students enriches all of us and enables our mission of research, teaching, service, and economic development.

Penn State President Eric J. Barron

At Penn State, we believe that a diverse campus environment is the best way to challenge our students to consider new cultures, perspectives, and traditions.

Students of color comprise more than 20 percent of our student body, but we know that number can always be better. To achieve that goal, Undergraduate Admissions has several teams of dedicated professionals throughout Pennsylvania who are charged with enhancing diversity through multicultural outreach.

Undergraduate Admissions

Our team holds events, travels to meet with future Penn Staters across the U.S., and serves the Penn State University Park Campus.

Philadelphia

Our team provides support to Philadelphia area students on all aspects of the college admission process from taking the SAT to applying for financial aid.

Pittsburgh

Our job is to help students successfully navigate the transition from high school to college. We serve as Pittsburgh’s local Penn State resource.

Harrisburg

Our objective is to create a dynamic, multicultural student body at Penn State Harrisburg and to serve the greater Penn State community.
