Concordia University offers students, faculty, and the community opportunities to participate with us as we cultivate a community of meaningful, Christ-centered belonging. Below, learn more about several of our key initiatives.

Office of Multicultural Engagement

Established in 2019, the OME operates on both the Wisconsin and the Ann Arbor campuses. The OME advances the value for diversity as a transformational outcome within the context of the Lutheran Christian university. The OME regularly offers programs, training, events, and activities that equip students, faculty, and staff to be catalysts for Christ-led change within their contexts and communities.

Moved With Compassion

At Concordia University Wisconsin, we aim “to champion access and opportunity for all learners.” Moved with Compassion is an interdisciplinary committee of faculty and staff who support this strategic vision through its mission to create an inclusive campus by increasing disability awareness, improving accessibility, and promoting acceptance of all God’s people at Concordia University (Luke 14:12-14).  Our committee has teamed up with a task force of CUW students for annual events aimed to promote an inclusive campus. In 2019, we completed fundraising for push plates to automatically open the Field House doors.

Black Student Union

Concordia University Black Student Union (BSU) exists to help all students develop in mind, body, and spirit for service to Christ in the Church and the world. We do this by intentionally setting up a support system allowing students space to learn, teach, vent, give back to the community, be challenged, and get their cultural needs met.

Latino Student Union
