Multicultural Office

The Multicultural Office values the pursuit of truth and finds great understanding in the convergence of viewpoints, backgrounds and ideas. Therefore, we provide a safe environment where learners can openly discuss and debate to gain understanding.

We are here to promote the importance of positive community impact and encourage others to get involved through education, collaboration, advocacy and competency.

Our Mission

The mission of the Multicultural Office is to love and serve the Grand Canyon University (GCU) community like Christ. We train a team of missional student leaders to reach out to those who may feel lost, are seeking community or desire deeper relationships and to support the flourishing of all individuals.

Our Vision

We will create a safe and vibrant campus community that feels engaged, heard, welcomed and wanted.

GCU Student Infinity Groups

GCU calls these “infinity” groups instead of "affinity" groups because we want to create lifelong relationships among the students while also creating a deep connection with the university.

The Multicultural Office student teams have created these ‘infinity’ groups as a show of lifelong support and efforts toward a better, more inclusive world. We invite you to get involved and stay active in the campus community by joining any of the below student groups that best fit your interests. We have something for every student. To sign up for a group or get more information, search them in the GCU Engage app.

Not seeing a group that suits you? Email the Multicultural Office about new infinity group ideas and someone will reach out to you.

The Lavender Infinity Group is a group meant for any student who is looking for their community or a sense of belonging on campus. Students who attend will be connected to other groups and resources in line with what their needs are.

The Native American Infinity Group seeks to build a Native American-based cultural community on campus where indigenous individuals can feel at home away from home while being supported by peers who come from similar backgrounds.
