The Office of Multicultural Student Services
Mission and Goals
In accordance with the WSU
Strategic Plan and in partnership
with other units on campus, the
Office of Multicultural Student
Services (MSS) seeks to facilitate the
best undergraduate experience for
multicultural students through the
provision of culturally relevant
services that foster their successful
transition, adjustment, persistence,
achievement, and graduation.
Goal I: Develop and implement outreach programs designed to welcome and aid in the transition and adjustment of incoming students.
Goal II: Provide and support programs that improve the retention, achievement, and graduation of multicultural students.
Goal III: Provide opportunities that foster and recognize student involvement and leadership, professional development, and preparation for post-baccalaureate endeavors.
Goal IV: Document and analyze the enrollment, retention, achievement, and graduation trends of Multicultural Students to establish comparisons to the WSU student body as a whole as well as to peer institutions.
Goal V: Develop university-wide and community partnerships to facilitate their engagement to increase the retention, achievement, and graduation of multicultural students.
Goal VI: Nurture an environment that fosters the growth and sustainability of the MSS Staff and resources.
The Academic Year of 2008-09 was a remarkable one for the
Office of Multicultural Student Services (MSS). Our Office was
impacted by several significant events. First, adjustment to the
impact associated with the merge of the Office of Equity and
Diversity and the Office of Student Affairs, the reduction of
personnel by 25% (4 positions since the summer); the significant
loss in budgetary resources, the changes in the MSS leadership;
and the move of the entire MSS operation to the 4th floor of the
CUB.
The reduction in personnel required that remaining staff would
take different and/or additional responsibilities. For example, the
Associated Director retained the leadership for the Academic
Enrichment Center and assumed the Retention Role of the
African American Student Center. The Communications/Events
Coordinator assumed the role of Retention Counselor for the
Chicana/o Latina/o Student Center while still assisting with
aspects of his previous position. The Director was moved into
the role of Director for Mentoring and Academic Programs and
soon after asked again to retake the responsibilities of the
directorship for the office.
In the midst of these significant events, the staff came together
and worked hard to make the transition to the new location
seamless to the students and to provide not only uninterrupted
programming and services but creating some new high quality
initiatives to continue enhancing the academic services to
students.
This work was guided by MSS Strategic Plan designed to “…
facilitate the best undergraduate experience for multicultural
students through the provision of culturally relevant services that
foster their successful transition, adjustment, persistence,
achievement, and graduation” and in line with the Division’s
goals to “create, nurture, and support a university culture that
values equity and diversity,” “prepare students to enter a global
and diverse society,” and “engage faculty in all aspects of student
development.”
This report summary reflects many of the efforts undertaken by
MSS during the 2008-09 academic year to maintain a strong
community of support for the students, offering them solid
academic, cultural, and social set of services and programming.
Students were constantly presented with opportunities for growth
in their academic, intercultural and global competencies,
leadership, and professional skills.
MSS/2008-09 Annual Report Summary Page 4
Demographic Overview of Students Served by MSS
During the 2008-09 Academic Year MSS offered a set of academic, cultural/intercultural, and social
programs and services to 2,415 undergraduate students who self-identify as members of one of the target
student populations of this office. Many other undergraduate and graduate students were also welcomed
and served by the office.
During the 2008-09 AY, there were 2,415
students attending WSU. Of them 47% were
females and 53% males. African Americans
17%, Asian American and Pacific Islanders
44%, Chicana/o Latina/o 31%, and Native
Americans 8%. The students of color
represented about 15% of the total student
population at WSU.
At the end of the academic year, 87% of the students were meeting university academic expectations and
41% had a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. The average GPA was 2.84 and women had a higher average
GPA of 2.96. A total of 78 graduated in the fall 08 semester and 218 in the spring semester (See Exhibit
A).
748 (31%) of the students were active participants
of the services and programs provided to them at
the Multicultural Center. “Active” indicates
regular participation and engagement in the
Mentoring Programs, academic programs
(tutoring, workshops, study tables, STAR
Program, advising), and cultural, social, and other
outreach programs sponsored by the Student
Centers.
A significant percentage of students active in the
Multicultural Center were “Pell Eligible”
students, 40% compared to 33% of those not considered active participants.

Mentoring Programs
Selection, training (Summer Retreat, Mentor Handbook, and Ed Ad 497 class), guidance and support of
61 Student Mentors for the 08-09 academic year. These mentors are part of the Multicultural Student
Mentor Program and the Team Mentoring Program.
Multicultural Student Mentor Program – MSMP For incoming multicultural first-year and transfer students. During the 2008-09 AY, 51 Mentors reached
out and offered mentoring support to 775 Mentees. Under the Guidance of the Assistant Director for
Mentoring Programs, the Retention Counselors, and the Graduate Assistants the student Mentors
delivered consistent support and activities to meet the academic, social, and cultural needs of new
students (See Exhibit B).
Impact:
Mentors contacted 97% of Mentees. 73% of mentees had 6 or
more mentoring contacts each semester and 3% were not
contacted. Mentors recorded a total of 25,089 mentoring contacts
with an average of 6 personal contacts and 14 electronic contacts
per mentee respectively. 62% of mentees were actively engaged
in the program.

The program maintained a clear academic focus: At the end of the 08-09 AY, 89% of the freshman
Mentees had made positive academic progress (42% of mentees had a GPA of 3.0 or better). The
percentage of mentees with a GPA below 2.0 was at a historic low of 11% in comparison to 14% the
previous two years.
Freshman mentees who were “active”1 had a higher average GPA (2.8 compared to 2.7 of those not active
in the program), lower deficiency rate (8% compared to 17% of those “not active”2 in MSMP), and higher
1 “Active” mentees were those who were engaged in the Mentoring relationship as documented by the Mentors in
the Mentor Weekly Logs
MSS/2008-09 Annual Report Summary Page 7
projected fall 09 enrollment (89% compared to 83%). The fall 08 to fall 09 retention of freshman
multicultural students was 83.7% compared to 83.8 for the total student body. This is still 3% short of the
Mentoring Program goal of 87% which is the fall to fall retention goal recommended for the university in
the 2008 Report by the Provost’s Council on Retention.
Transfer mentees who were active had a similar average GPA to those who were not active but slightly
higher academic deficiency rate (20% compared to 18%), and higher projected fall 09 enrollment (87%
compared to 76%).
In order to accomplish the MSS Mission and the MSMP goals, this program designed and implemented a
variety of activities to facilitate the mentees transition and retention in college and receive the support to
balance academic, cultural, and social needs (See reports from each Center for further details).
Team Mentoring Program – TMP
This Program is for students interested in and/or pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math) disciplines. During the 08-09 AY, 13 Student Mentors and 7 Faculty Mentors offered mentoring
services to 159 students. Of these, 61 mentees were in the College of Engineering and Architecture and
98 in the College of Sciences (See Exhibit C).
Impact:
During the 2008-09 AY, 41% of mentees were “Active” in the Team Mentoring Program, 41%
“Somewhat Active,”3 and 18% were “Not Responsive.” 94% were contacted at least once by their
Mentor. Of them, 50% were contacted 3 or more times a semester. Mentors recorded a total of 1,843
mentoring contacts with an average of 6 personal contacts per mentee.
Although the mentees who were “active” in TMP had lower average GPA (2.66) compared to those
“somewhat active” (2.75) and those “not active” in the program (2.82), they had a higher percentage of
those obtaining a 3.0 or above cumulative GPA (40%) compared to 33% and 37% for somewhat and not
active respectively.
“Active” mentees continued in STEM disciplines at slightly higher level than the “somewhat” and “not
active” mentees (70% compared to 65% and 69% respectively). “Active” mentees also enrolled at a
higher rate in the fall 09 semester (81% compared to 76% for “somewhat active”) but at a lower rate
compared to those “not active” (86%).
In general, female Mentees had better academic
performance but, across the board, lower
retention in STEM disciplines and at the
university.
In order to accomplish TMP goals, this program
designed and implemented a variety of activities
to facilitate the mentees connection to their
College and increased their likelihood of staying
and graduating in their intended STEM discipline
(See TMP report for more details).

Programs to Support the Academic Achievement of the Students
MSS has outreach efforts that target and serve all multicultural and other students. During the 08-09 AY,
748 (31%) multicultural students were active participants in MSS programs and services (this figure of
students who frequent the center on regular basis is a conservative account due to limitations in the
documentation of student use and participation in MSS programs. An improved method to account for
most of the students frequenting the Centers is being implemented for the 09-10 academic year). Overall,
many of the frequent users of MSS facilities and services are high need students as indicated by the
percentage who are “Pell Eligible” (40%) in comparison to those who did not frequent the Multicultural
Center on a regular basis (33% of them are “Pell Eligible”). This trend is particularly clear for the
Chicana/o Latina/o students.
Holistic Guidance and Advising for Students
Multiple, formal and informal, interventions were provided by the Associate Director, Retention
Counselors, Graduate Assistants, Liaisons to MSS from Counseling Services, Residence Life, Office of
Financial Aid, Center for Advising and Career Development, and volunteer faculty and staff. At each
Center, one-on-one guidance and support was provided to students facing personal, financial, academic
difficulties and other challenges. Much of this work was done in close collaboration with faculty and
staff from various departments in order to provide students with the most appropriate help. MSS staff
informed, nominated, and guided many students as they pursued scholarship and leadership awards,
internships, and post baccalaureate opportunities (See Exhibits E and F, and each Student Center Annual
Report for details).
Study Sessions Led by the Student Mentors,
multiple study sessions were
held at the Centers to facilitate
mentees and other students
with opportunities to prepare
for tests and final
examinations.
Tutoring Services
MSS made available tutoring
services for students at the
Academic Enrichment Center
and dedicated hours at each
one of the Student Centers.
Tutors were available
for an average of 120 hours per week for 13 weeks each semester. These services were provided on first-
come-first-serve and one-on-one or group tutoring sessions. During the spring semester of 2009, there
were 694 documented tutoring sessions and about 250 WSU students each semester benefited from this
service. The classes for which the students requested more tutoring assistance were in Math, Physics,
Statistics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Writing, and Business.
Computer Lab Students are provided with free access to a Computer Lab available to them at the Academic Enrichment
Center and at each one of the Student Centers. This service is used by many students beyond our target
multicultural student population. The MSS relocation in the CUB has increased the student use of this
service. We estimate that around 100 students access the lab on a daily basis.
MSS/2008-09 Annual Report Summary Page 9
The following is an account of Jenadee L. Nanini of her experience during the spring and summer
Internships in Washington DC. She exemplifies the impact WSU programs have as they come together to
support the students’ educational goals. For the 09-10 Academic Year, in addition to being a dedicated
student, Jenadee will serve as a Student Mentor at the Native American Student Center, Program
Coordinator for the YMCA, VP of Community Service for National Society of Collegiate Scholars,
Member of President Floyd’s Student Advisory Board, Honors College Student, hold a job at USDA Vet
Office, and membership in Kappa Alpha Theta.
Interning In DC Jenadee L. Nanini
Jenadee in Senator Ted Kennedy’s office
I originally landed in D.C. via the Fund For American Studies (TFAS) program.
I applied through Capitol Semester to spend a semester in D.C. interning and
attending classes at Georgetown at night. I was accepted by both and although I
received a scholarship from TFAS, I was still left with a substantial amount
needed to cover the cost of this experience. However, several people at WSU
understood the importance an internship like this has on providing experience
unlike any I could receive in the classroom. Between my TRiO advisor
(Bernadette), my retention counselor in the Native American Student Center
(Norma Joseph), Rice McGill, Barbara Ashton, and Dr. Tate’s office, I was able
to receive scholarships and funding to make my dream of going to D.C. to live
and learn became a reality.
I wanted to secure my own internship, so I applied with
both of my Montana Senators. I chose to work for
Senator Jon Tester as he was newer to the Senate and I
felt I would get more of a hands-on experience. He also
sat on a few committees of particular interest to me-
Indian Affairs, Veteran Affairs, and Housing and
Banking. In Senator Jon Tester’s office I was able to get
a firm grasp on what working for the federal government
meant. Being in DC and working at the United States
Senate during President Barack Obama’s first 100 days
was phenomenal. There was a buzz of excitement and
hope surrounding you. I sat in on hearings that discussed
the housing crisis, Iraq, and bailouts. I sat behind Tim
Geithner and Kathleen Sebelieus as they were confirmed
by the Senate. It was a moment in my life that is unlike
any. I was responsible for attending hearings and
reporting back to staffers with memos. I conducted
extensive legislative research, responded to constituent
concerns, scheduled the meetings, provided tours of the
capitol, and any other miscellaneous tasks I was asked.
While I was in DC, I applied on Senator Teddy
Kennedy’s website for a summer internship in his
office. I was so shocked the day I got a call from his
intern coordinator asking if I would accept the
position. I obviously accepted in a heartbeat! I
applied because all in the Kennedy family are heroes
to me and, in addition, I wanted to learn about a state
with different constituent concerns, population, and
different political views. I was able to attend
hearings and write memos, deal with constituent
concerns, interact between the branches, conduct
extensive research, and all the “intern” things I
mentioned above in my other internship. To stand in
the office where so many ideas were generated and
enacted, was beyond inspiring. I got to sit in JFK’s
rocking chair, talk to Joe Biden, etc. It was a
growing and learning experience like non other.
Everyone there came from a diverse background and
with a different story—but we all had the same goal.
We all desired to be a part of something greater than
ourselves, something to change peoples lives. This
summer I hope to intern at the White House to gain a
better understanding of the international and
executive element of the United States Government.

Inspiring a New Generation of Scholars and Scientists (Exhibit F)
Workshop series made available to students through in collaboration with the Office of Research, the
College of Sciences, and the College of Engineering and Architecture. In this first year, 15 Workshops
were offered with an average attendance of 15 students per workshop.
Impact: Several students were placed in labs/research projects with faculty as an immediate impact of
these workshops. One of these students is Valeria Lopez-Lozano, Senior majoring in Basic Medical
Science with an emphasis in Pre-Med.
Valeria presenting her research to the students at the Chicana/o
Latina/o Student Center during Semana de la Raza, March 2009
Her WSU experience in her own words – “This is my second year as a multicultural
student mentor and being part of the MSS
community of support has allowed me to
connect with faculty and consequently
enhance my undergraduate curriculum.
My participation in MSS put me in contact
with Dr. John Alderete, a professor in the
School of Molecular Biosciences at WSU.
Thanks to this connection, I am now going
onto my second year of undergraduate
research experience in Dr. Amit Dhingra
lab. Under his supervision, I am in charge
of developing an efficient strawberry regeneration protocol. This amazing opportunity has helped me
develop skills to productively interact with my peers in the lab and work on a problem on my own. I have
learned to recognize that research is a big part of what we are as a university. As an undergraduate
researcher I plan on addressing questions of economic importance which can be solved using molecular
tools. My research focus is primarily on fruit crops (apple, pear and cherry). This is of particular
importance given the fact that the state of Washington is one of the main fruit growers of the Pacific
Northwest. My work in Dr. Dhingra’s lab has, so far, provided me with the opportunity to attend national
conferences held in Yakima and Wenatchee. I am also the recipient of a CAHRNS scholarship that
supports my ongoing undergraduate research experience and allows me to continue working at the
second program in the nation in molecular biology.”
First Annual Health Careers Expo The Office of Multicultural Student Services, the WSU Division of Health Sciences, the College of
Sciences Advising Office, and the WWAMI Medical Education Program planned and implemented the
First Annual Health Careers Expo. The objectives were to provide underrepresented student populations
in the health careers with information about the health programs at WSU, inspire them to pursue their
career goals, and help position Washington State University to exceed the national rates of enrollment and
graduation of underrepresented populations in the health disciplines.
Impact:
96 students participated in this event. These students received a copy of the “Guide to the Washington
State University Health Programs” and had the opportunity to meet and interact with representatives from
all the WSU Health Programs and the University of Washington School of Medicine and School of
Dentistry (See Exhibit G).

College Success Workshops
This effort is led by the Center for
Advising and Career Development
(CACD). MSS has been a long term
member and contributor to a
university-wide partnership (CACD,
Counseling Services, Libraries,
MSS, CAMP, SSP, DRC, Writing
Programs, Financial Aid) that offers
workshops on about 34 different
topics in the areas of Stress
Management and Life Skills, Major
Choice and Decision Making, Time
Management, Test Taking, Learning
Styles, Note-Taking, Reading and
Memorization, and Writing Reading
and Research. 23 of these
workshops were sponsored directly
by MSS and held at the
Multicultural Center. 227 students
participated just in the ones held at
the Multicultural Center with an
average of 10 students per
workshop.

Strategic Team Approach to Retention – STAR
A team of dedicated professionals worked together to provide students individualized, thoughtful, and
caring support in order to facilitate their academic progress and successful retention and graduation.
Multicultural Students with a 2.2 GPA or below were contacted and invited to take advantage of the one-
on-one support made available through STAR. Staff from MSS, the Athletics Department, CAMP, SSSP,
CACD-CSF/PASS Programs reached out to these students both in the fall and spring semester. In
addition, MSS engaged in the establishment of a pilot project to provide close monitoring and support for
students in the CAMP Program and Athletics enrolled in the English 101 class. STAR targeted 219 in the
fall 2008 and 289 in the spring semester of 2009. In addition, Retention Counselors at each one of the
Centers receive mid-term grades for students and contact those who are not meeting minimum academic
expectations to make sure they are aware of resources available to them and to assist with personal
academic planning (See Exhibit D).
Gian Carlo Espinosa is one of those students served by the STAR
Program. Unfortunate circumstances made his academic
experience at WSU a very challenging one. Regular meetings with
the Retention Counselor at the AAPI Center helped him receive the
support and guidance needed to overcome challenges and
graduate. He was also a frequent user of the Center’s space to
study and to use our computers. Carlo was also an involved
member and supporter of many student organizations within the
AAPISC. Despite his difficulties in achieving high academic scores,
there is no doubt that Mr. Espinosa put in a lot of time and effort
while taking his classes seriously. He is a success story because of
his determination to persist and ultimately graduate.

Celebrating the Accomplishments and Graduation of Our Students
The Office of Multicultural
Student Services has a long
and well established tradition
of recognizing students’
accomplishments particularly
their graduation from WSU.
Students, families, and the
community at large have come
to expect these culturally
relevant celebrations. During
the 08-09 AY, MSS held the
fall recognition for graduating
students, the 1st Annual
Multicultural Graduation
Ceremony and unique
community graduation
receptions. Around 120
students receiving their
Baccalaureate, Masters, and Doctoral Degrees participated in these
events and were given a culturally relevant stole. Families, friends
and university community attended to celebrate this remarkable
accomplishment of the students.
Jaimee Latrice Mayfield, one of the student speakers at the Multicultural Graduation Ceremony in May
2009, was a very active and successful student. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, with
an emphasis in Public Relations and dual minors in Political Science and Global Studies. She transferred
to Washington State University from Xavier University of Louisiana as a result of hurricane Katrina.
Double R Productions intern Jaimee

promotional video in Washington, D.C
While at WSU, Jaimee was very active with Black Women’s Caucus,
the Black Student Union, a member of the Public Relations Student
Society of America (PRSSA) and the Association for Women in
Communication. She volunteered on and off campus programs.
She was an intern with the Career Development Specialist program
in the office of Center for Advising and Career Development, a
Student Abroad Ambassador for the Education Abroad Office, and
worked with the community development and conservation project
in Costa Rica and Panama.
She was also a McNair Achievement Program Scholar. In this
program, she completed a research project titled “Romance or
Violence: Sexual Messages in Music Lyrics Popular among African
American youth.
After graduation, Jamie went to Washington DC for a summer internship with Double R productions where she
engaged in marketing, public relations and video productions work. In the fall, she entered Michigan State
University to pursue a Master Degree in Public Relations.

Opportunities for student intercultural collaboration, leadership
& professional development, and preparation for post-
baccalaureate endeavors
MSS engaged students in discussions, activities, and programs designed to help them build cultural and
global competency, articulate cultural pride, and achieve high levels of intercultural collaboration,
leadership skills, and academic excellence. During the 08-09 AY, over 100 graduate and undergraduate
students held positions as graduate assistants, mentors, tutors, and student interns/office assistants in
MSS.
Job Opportunities for Students Mentoring positions (63), Tutoring
positions (21 and 18 in the fall and
spring semesters respectively),
Office Assistants/Student Intern
Positions (18),
Graduate Assistantship positions (7),
Internships in collaboration with
academic departments (2)
Leadership Opportunities
Multiple leadership positions are
available to students in MSS
programs and in over 40
multicultural student organizations
that associate with the Centers.
Student Mentors at the August 2008 Training Retreat
Impact:
All students selected for a position in the Office of Multicultural Student Services received extensive
training, particularly the students in the Mentoring Programs. MSS subscribes to the philosophy and
praxis that engages student workers as professionals in training. Student learning outcomes are assessed
using an adapted version of the “Guide to Rating Professional Performance in Learning Organizations.”
Through their participation and work in
MSS, students are expected to
develop/refine their skills in the
following six rubrics: Job duties,
challenges, & opportunity recognition;
Information & Evidence; Organization
& University learning mission;

Study Abroad/Internships
In collaboration with a Faculty Mentor in the College of Engineering and Architecture (Dr. Pezeshki)
designed a Study Abroad/Research Opportunity for Spanish Speaking Engineering Students. Four
students were selected and were ready to participate in this internship but the University cancelled all
internship programs in Mexico due to the H1N1 virus outbreak.
Student leadership training, consulting, advising, and support MSS staff served as cultural consultants, presenters, speakers, and advisors to many student leaders and
student organizations. This office has a historic record of strong collaboration with Student Involvement
and Leadership Development, ASWSU, Coalition of Women Students (CWS), Gender
Identity/Expression Sexual Orientation Resource Center (GIESORC), and other units on campus in
efforts to train, advocate for, and engage students in leadership, intercultural, and professional

Although there are many who deserve the recognition and appreciation of MSS, the following two
individuals are highlighted this 08-09 academic year for their special and remarkable contributions to the
accomplishment of the MSS mission and goals.
Dr. Steve Burkett For over 12 years, Dr. Burkett was
an outstanding partner of MSS and the Department of
Counseling Psychology in the recruitment and support
for graduate students pursuing Ph.D. Degrees in this
field. His impact is far reaching as evidenced by the
number of underrepresented students he recruited,
mentored, and supported over the years. Through his
support, many Graduate Students, hundreds of Student
Mentors and thousands of Mentees have received the
opportunity to be engaged in meaningful mentoring
relationships that have facilitated their success at the
institution. Dr. Burkett’s contributions made him the
recipient of the “Outstanding MSMP Advocate Award”
presented to him at the Multicultural Student Mentor
Reunion to celebrate the 20th
Anniversary of the
Multicultural Student Mentor Program this past August
in Seattle.
Keynote Speaker, Dr. Alderete with Dr. Herrera waiting
for the processional during the May 2009 Multicultural
Graduation Ceremony.
Dr. John Alderete. He came to WSU as Associate
Vice-Provost for Research and immediately engaged
our office offering his expertise, passion for student
academic success, and commitment to inform and
inspire students about the opportunities available to
them in research activities and preparation for post-
baccalaureate education. His partnership with MSS
has increased the faculty engagement in programs
such as CONEXION and the workshop series
INSPIRING A NEW GENERATION OF
SCHOLARS AND SCIENTISTS and has opened
the doors of research and lab work to several of our
students.

Thanks to our supporters
In addition to the funds
provided to MSS by the
University through the
Division of Student Affairs,
Equity and Diversity, many
of our programs and services
would have not been possible
without the generous
contributions of the following
external and internal
supporters:
Donald and Helen Jewett Fund
Future Cougars of Color Program
The Graduate School
Enrollment Management/Scholarship Services
The College of Sciences and the College of Engineering and
Architecture
The WSU Alumni Association
CUB Administration
Multiple partnerships with student organizations and
departments made possible most of the cultural programming
made available to the WSU and Pullman community
throughout the year
With the Support of the WSU
Alumni Association, MSS invited
408 alumni Mentees to a Reunion
to celebrate the 20th Anniversary
of the Multicultural Student
Mentor Program. Fifty seven (57)
attended the event. They
represent a group of individuals
who are ready to renew their
partnership with WSU in support
of Multicultural Programs to
continue enhancing the legacy of
diversity at our institution.
