Diane L. Jefferson | Director of the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs

Welcome to come to the Shippensburg University Office of Multicultural Student Affairs webpage. As you browse the page, I hope you will be excited and inspired by what you see!

When I'm asked to describe the MSA, I usually reply, "We are a family," a family who supports, advocates, challenges and encourages one another to succeed. Our mission is to educate and graduate students who will possess a vision for leadership and a will to excel. One of my favorite quotes is, "Mediocrity is not an option." MSA touches the lives of people who will shape the future.

MSA is a student-centered place where all are welcome. Located in Gilbert Hall 200 on the campus of Shippensburg University, the office is open each day from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. as well as evening hours upon request. You can contact me at dljeff@ship.edu 

Shauntae M. Doughty | Assistant to the Director of the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs

Hello, my name is Shauntae M. Doughty, and I am the Assistant to the Director of Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. I am excited to have the oppurtunity to work so closely with both the students and faculty on campus. As a recent graduate of Shippensburg University and a member of the Multicultural Student Affairs office myself, I am familiar with all the hard work and dedication it takes to assist the students with achieving their goals of graduating as well as providing services to the campus community.

With the MSA staff we strive to create a "Home Away From Home" for students who reach out for cultural guidance at Shippensburg University. As a team we are committed to establishing relationships with students campus wide and exposing them to culturally diverse experiences. In putting academics first, I am ready and willing to assist our students in anyway! Welcome to the MSA!

Travis Eichelberger | Graduate Assistant

My name is Travis Eichelberger and I am currently a Graduate Assistant for the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs.  My passion is Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender issues, but I work to make a better place for all Under-Represented or Disenfranchised individuals. 

I am a graduate of Shippensburg Univeristy with a B.A. in English and minors in Anthropology and Women's Studies.  As an Undergrad student I served on the executive board of Students Advocating Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Ally Equality (S.A.L.E.) and am proud to say that I helped to spearhead the first Gay Pride Festival here at Shippensburg. 

Since graduating I have worked as the Interim Assistant to the Director of the MSA for a year, and am currently in the Counseling/College Student Personnel M.S. program here at Shippensburg.  I also currently have an internship with the Academic Success/Act 101 Program. 

I have been a proud member of the MSA family since 2004 and enjoy helping every student that comes to our campus find the best place for them.  I want to welcome all students to join our family in the hope that they will find it as amazing and fulfilling as I have.

I can always be reached for any reason at tweichelberger@ship.edu
