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.

 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!

 I love working in the MSA! It is all about family and I feel privileged to be a part of such a special place. To be in a position to make a difference in the lives of students is an honor. Working in the MSA inspires me to continue to achieve my own personal goals.
The students are encouraged to reach for the stars and not to limit themselves in any way, shape or form; they are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and to build bridges with people of all origins. I believe that the MSA is truly a "Home Away From Home" for students but it is also a place wear leaders are made and dreams are achieved!

Greg Wilson | Graduate Assistant

My name is Greg Wilson and I am
especially excited to start a new chapter in within the MSA family! I am
starting my second semester as a graduate student in the Organizational
Development and Leadership program. I honestly feel that I would not be
as prepared for graduate school if it hadn't been for the countless lessons,
connections and friends that I had made within the MSA as an undergraduate
student. The MSA not only teaches us not just to enhance ourselves
throughout college, but to promote ourselves on a path to success. I
spent three years as a member of S.A.L.E. (Students Advocating Lifestyle
Equality) and serving on the executive board the last two years. These
leadership positions were an integral part of my professional
development.
I am so excited to work alongside
Ms. Diane L. Jefferson and the FABULOUS MSA staff! I encourage all
students within the MSA to stop by and introduce yourselves. I am more
than willing to help out in any way that I can, even if you just need someone
to talk to! WELCOME TO THE MSA FAMILY!

Rachel Flores | Graduate Assistant

 Greetings! My name is Rachel Flores and I am Graduate Assistant for the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs at Shippensburg University. I am in pursuit of my Master's Degree in Communication Studies with an emphasis in broadcast journalism.
I am honored to have the oppurtunity to work with Ms. Diane Jefferson and the MSA staff. During my time as an undergraduate student here at Shippensburg, the MSA helped me to reach my goals, and their guidance helped to shape and mold me into an effective leader. Being president of two MSA run organizations --Asian American Organization and Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority Inc. -- made me a well-rounded student and the friends that I met truly became my family. I am excited to join the MSA staff so that I can continue the office goal of being a "home away from home".
