AJUC's Conference on Multicultural Affairs (CMA)

 The conference on Multicultural Affairs (CMA) of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities was officially established in October of 1981.  Known then as the Conference on Minority Affairs, its purpose as outlined in the organization’s constitution is fivefold:

(1) Insuring access of students of color to Jesuit higher education.
(2) Providing an awareness of problems faced by students of color in Jesuit institutions and developing strategies to overcome those problems.
(3) Developing mechanisms by which ideas and information relative to the concerns of students of color can be disseminated among Jesuit institutions.
(4) Promoting the institutionalization of student of color participation in planning, policy formulation, and policy implementation within Jesuit colleges and universities.
(5) Enhancing the quality of the educational experience for all students attending Jesuit institutions.

From its very inception Le Moyne College has been integrally involved with the CMA.  Le Moyne served as on of the founding institutions of the organization.  Carl A. Thomas, Director of HEOP/AHANA served as president of the organization from 1985-86 and Carl Forbes, Asst. Director of Admissions currently holds the post of information officer.  In 1985 Le Moyne was the recipient of the Distinguished Program Award for its Black Visiting Scholar Program.
 

 It is anticipated that Le Moyne College commitment to diversity will solidify its continual involvement in the CMA.
