Multicultural Affairs

Location: 2nd Floor, Room 210

The Office of Multicultural Affairs at Rowan University works diligently to create an environment that fosters the institutional integration and submersion of diversity and multiculturalism. The office supports and initiates programs that foster the acknowledgement and acceptance of the differences that define the personal self-identity of faculty, staff, and students. Its ongoing purpose is the pursuit of maintaining an environment that cultivates the ability for all the constituencies of Rowan University to safely express those identities within the parameters of the institution's academic and social behavioral expectations.

ADIL 2008

APPLICATION DEADLINE-October 6th

The annual program A Day in the Life of a College Student (ADIL) will take place from Sunday, October 12th to Tuesday, October 14th, 2008. This is an overnight program for potential college students of color to be exposed to the collegiate lifestyle in and out of the classroom. High school juniors and seniors are selected by committee to participate in the program after submitting an application of interest. Essentially, participants shadow their college student host in all aspects of their day and evening and spend the night in the host’s residence.

ADIL participants are exposed to college level classes and instructions, attend recreational and social events, and if permitted, shadow the host at their on campus work site. High school students are not permitted anywhere on the campus without their host and are not allowed off the campus during the program without both parental and the program coordinators consent. ADIL is a joint effort of the Office of Admissions, the Educational Opportunity Fund/Maximizing Academic Potential, and the Office of Multicultural Affairs.

Interested students may apply here.

Inquiries about the program may be made to millsj@rowan.edu. Accepted students will be notified October 1st through October 8th.
