Franklin College’s Office of Multicultural Services (OMS) strives to promote cultural awareness and understanding, hoping to give Franklin College students a sense of belonging in a safe and supportive environment. The focus of OMS is to serve as a primary resource for developing cultural sensitivity through various programs. We work to ensure that the social and classroom environment of the campus is inclusive with respect to cultural, racial, ethnic, religious and other differences represented in our campus community.
