The Penn State Scranton library inspires learning and acquisition of knowledge through academic collaborations and the provision of resources that meet the evolving information needs of students, faculty, staff, and members of the local community. Based on our philosophy of inspiring intellectual discovery, we cultivate spaces that nourish innovation and personal growth.

Penn State Scranton creates tomorrow’s diverse leaders. We challenge individuals to discover their full potential, appreciate, embrace, respect and celebrate all cultures. We foster a welcoming campus environment that is accepting, safe, and inclusive to all of our administrators, faculty, staff, students and visitors.

In a climate where civil discussion is rare, and polarization has become the norm, Penn State Scranton continues to foster and model a non-discriminatory campus environment that is welcoming, safe, and inclusive to our administrators, faculty, staff, students and visitors. We view differences in ethnic, religious, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds not as an obstacle to be overcome but as an opportunity for learning, understanding and growth. In that light, we have developed Diversity Circles, an eye-opening experiential program where attendees with diverse backgrounds and experiences can come together to learn from one another how to express and receive opinions contrary to their own and become agents of inclusion and spread the message of acceptance and equality in our communities.

The mission of Multicultural Programs is to educate the Penn State Scranton student population on issues of diversity, inclusion and cultural competence.
