OMA information

Don't Miss the 1st OMA Kickback of 2023!

If you've been to an OMA Kickback, you know it's an amazing combination of great food and good connections. For Black History Month, we're taking it to another level with food from multiple local restaraunts representing broader African diaspora. Make plans to attend!

We try to give lots of support in various ways to OMA students. In addition to our amazing staff members, we collaborate with other departments to bring the support to you in OMA!

  • Each Thursday at 2pm, Kevin Sullivan comes to the computer lab to talk with students about Studying Abroad.
  • Mondays at 3pm Multicultural Specialist Naomi Drakeford comes for scheduled, 30 minute, 1:1, confidential in-person consultations w/BIPOC students.
  • On the first Tuesday of every month at noon, Marina Giannirakis, the Advocate, provides confidential advocacy to all CWRU students affected by sexual and gender-based violence.
