Celebrating Our Intercultural Community

Founded by Swedish immigrants in 1891, North Park University began by serving the needs of a single community. Today, our mission has grown to reflect and celebrate a vibrant, intercultural student body, including our designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). We are proud to be a place where students from all backgrounds feel welcome, seen, and supported.

Office of Intercultural Student Affairs

The Office of Intercultural Student Affairs (OISA) fosters a welcoming, inclusive campus where students of all backgrounds feel a sense of belonging. Through cultural clubs, student advocacy, and success programming, OISA helps students grow as leaders and pursue lives of significance and service.
