As an administrative support system to the Chief Diversity Officer, the Office oversees the daily operations and logistics of the organization as well as the budgetary needs for various programs. In addition, the Office is committed to the development of diversity education and monitors the areas that target diverse populations across the university. Programs and offices under the Office for Diversity & Inclusion are:
- Multicultural Center for Academic Success (MCAS)
- McNair Scholars Program
- Future Stewards Program (FSP)
- LSAMP
