Diversity and Multicultural Pathways
The Institutional Diversity and Multiculturalism (IDM) committee's main goal is to ensure the WMU Student Center is welcoming, inclusive and supportive of all who enter and use the student-first facility. The committee is comprised of key student leaders, staff who will work in and manage the student center and staff from offices that support campus-wide diversity and inclusion efforts.
