The American Intercultural Center provides services and activities that promote the academic success, personal growth and development of multicultural students. The Center also conducts educational programs that enhance learning, promote respect and appreciation for racial and ethnic diversity. The AIC supports the academic mission of UW-Green Bay and contributes to the development of a campus community dedicated to diversity of thought and experience. Through its programs, services, resources, activities and collaborative efforts, the AIC seeks to:
o Provide academic, social and cultural support to help multicultural students achieve their educational goals.
o Orient new multicultural students to the culture of the institution.
o Promote and deepen student's understanding of their own cultural heritage and identity.
o Educate the university community about diverse cultures, cultural differences and the rich contributions of other cultures to the campus community.
o Provide training in leadership and other skills for multicultural students and for those seeking to assist them.
o Provide a forum in which issues of diversity, identity, prejudicial attitudes and behaviors and cross-cultural communication can be broadly addressed in the campus community.
o Enrich the educational experience of all students, and model how to live in a multicultural world.

The Diversity Director is responsible for the overall administration of the staff, budgets and programs of the AIC, consistent with the stated goals and mission of the Center. The Director directly supervises 2.5 FTE professional and clerical staff, as well as student employees. In addition to routine administrative responsibilities (personnel management, budget development and management, assessment-data collection and reporting, and AIC policy formulation), the Director also works directly with multicultural students and student organizations to promote student satisfaction and success. The Director works closely with a team of other student service office leaders to continually evaluate and improve the university’s efforts to recruit, retain and graduate multicultural students. The Director promotes awareness of multicultural issues on campus, provides leadership in institution-wide efforts to enhance the campus climate, and develops sustaining relationships with external programs and agencies serving multicultural youth. The Director will have a thorough understanding of student issues most relevant to multicultural populations, both nationally and at the campus level, as well as a demonstrated ability to keep the Dean of Students Office and campus administration informed of issues that have the potential to significantly influence the campus community.

The Diversity Director will serve as the UW-Green Bay Multicultural/Disadvantaged (M/D) Coordinator for the University of Wisconsin System. This responsibility includes working with other MD Coordinators and gathering campus data and information to share at UW System Meetings and events. This position also includes annual and ongoing reporting of campus progress and fiscal data related to diversity initiatives. The Coordinator is responsible for producing the institutional M/D Annual Reports.
