MOSAIC: APU’s Network of Ethnic Affinity Organizations

Azusa Pacific University’s MOSAIC Network of Administrators, Faculty, and Staff Ethnic Affinity Organizations is designed to sustain and enhance the experience of faculty, staff, administrators, and students within APU’s respective ethnic affinity organizations. The collective efforts of these organizations strategically work, inwardly and outwardly, to nurture diversity and promote inclusive excellence that reflects the mosaic of God’s Kingdom. These organizations’ shared interests in cultural competency, cultural awareness, and cultural solidarity serve as a conduit for creating a positive alliance with the university’s effort to uphold a God First approach in all that is done. These groups address, effectively support, and help bring resolution to the unique challenges facing people of color at APU. Creating space for ethnic affinity organizations demonstrates APU’s commitment to cultivating a welcoming place for all people, as these groups offer camaraderie and help cultivate community for people with shared cultural experiences.
