Student Diversity

The Office of Student Engagement (OSE) promotes a campus environment that is welcoming and valuing of all people. OSE provides resources and support for students and groups that are underrepresented in the field of healthcare.

SGA Affinity Groups

An Affinity Group is a student organization whose mission statement represents a minority identity, including but not limited to race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or any other identity that is not shared by the majority in any of the following locations: MUSC, Charleston, South Carolina, or the United States. Each recognized group should support recruitment, retention, education, advocacy, and community building.

Affinity groups fall under the MUSC Student Government Association (SGA) umbrella and receive financial support from SGA.
