Meet the Team
The Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Multicultural Education (ODIME) provides support and services to all students in the WPI community. Several dedicated staff members support undergraduate and graduate students with their social, personal, cultural, spiritual, and professional development.
The ODIME team is committed to advancing the office mission to foster an inclusive campus community which respects, honors, and celebrates inclusion, belonging, and multicultural education in all its dimensions.

ODIME also works with a team of Campus Chaplains, who assist with the holistic well-being of the WPI community by supporting the spiritual growth and development of students, faculty, and staff. Campus Chaplains serve as a resource for those seeking to deepen their faith, expand their spiritual identity, and/or seek guidance when navigating different life circumstances. WPI's Campus Chaplains are confidential resources for students and employees. View the full list here!
