What We Do
The Office of Multicultural Services at Malone College was established to serve the needs of students of color and to increase the Multicultural environment of the campus.  Our goal is to demonstrate that cultural and racial differences are valuable dimensions of   Malone College’s campus, which enhance the learning environment and enrich the entire Community.  This office seeks to provide resources, support services and educational programming that assist Malone in building and maintaining a community that is more inclusive of under-represented American ethnic minorities, and international students.

Students are encouraged and welcome to drop in and get acquainted. The office is located on the second floor of The Barn (Director of Multicultural Services), 515 - 25th Street NW, Canton, Ohio 44709.
