The Office of Multicultural Student Development provides advocacy, programming and cultural support to students, faculty and staff at Appalachian State University. The office of Multicultural Student Development, a part of the Lee H. McCaskey Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, is located on the second floor of Plemmons Student Union.

The MSD staff teach a course on Multicultural Leadership Development, which is a three-credit hour course that explores the contributions and accomplishments of past and present Multicultural leaders. Students are invited to develop their theory of Multicultural leadership and plan how to implement the theory. The class is a mixture of lecture, activities, group projects and outside assignments.

The Office of Multicultural Student Development also coordinates the Multicultural Center, which is located in room 112 of the Plemmons Student Union. The Multicultural Center houses a graduate student office and can be reserved for one time events that educate or celebrate multiculturalism.
