Multicultural Affairs
The School of Health Related Professions is sensitive to multicultural issues among students.
We are committed to enriching the educational experience of SHRP students through the promotion and integration of diversity and multiculturalism in all aspects of the student's tenure. SHRP recognizes that, as a community, we all share similarities and commonalities, but, each individual is inherently different and these differences should be welcomed, embraced, and supported.
We ascribe to the expectation that all students, staff, faculty, and administration will seek to understand different cultures, languages, and people and have an awareness of the needs of others' cultures without making judgments. We will continually evaluate and assess the manner in which we conduct the business of education to make sure that all members of the SHRP community are seen as valuable resources. We will also evaluate our commitment to the promotion of acceptance of the diversity of cultures, languages, customs, and values of the staff and students.
We would like for you to consider SHRP a home away from home. This does not mean that you have to forget your own culture. It just means that you are secure enough with yourself to explore, listen, share, and learn other cultures.
The Division of Multicultural Affairs at the University of Mississippi Medical Center works with individual students, student groups, staff and faculty to design and implement strategies that support students and increase opportunities for academic and professional success.
