The Multicultural Student Services (MSS) Program provides quality support services (academic, financial aid, personal and social) which will enhance African American, Asian American, and Hispanic American student success at the University. The MSS Program serves as a general institutional contact and advocate for students, individually and collectively; works with UND departments and offices to address the unique needs of students; provides advice and counsel regarding broad campus issues; and promotes diversity throughout the campus.

In addition, the MSS program oversees activities, care and maintenance of the Era Bell Thompson Multicultural Center located at 2800 University Avenue. The Center provides a comfortable atmosphere where people can gather, relax, and share their experiences. The Center offers a full-size kitchen, lounge area, satellite TV, computers, and a conference room. Everyone, regardless of ethnicity, is encouraged to visit the Center and take part in its activities.
