established in 1991, and the variety of multicultural programs and activities

Multicultural Affairs from 1992 until her retirement in 2003.

Historical Note
Formed in 1991, the Office of Multicultural Affairs assists OSU in the
promotion of cultural diversity, awareness, and sensitivity throughout the
campus community. In this capacity, the office serves as a resource for the OSU
community and the region in understanding multicultural issues; helps in the
recruitment and retention of students, staff, and faculty from ethnic, racial,
and other underrepresented groups; participates in curriculum development; and
provides consultation services to all academic and support units.
The development of the Office of Multicultural Affairs is rooted in
recommendations made by two advisory bodies, the OSU Board of Visitors and the
Minority Affairs Commission. Created by President Byrne in 1986 to investigate
ways to enhance diversity at OSU, the Board of Visitors advocated for the
formation of a Minority Affairs Commission, which, in turn, argued for the
establishment of an office devoted to addressing multicultural affairs. Phyllis
Lee became the office’s first director.
After Lee retired in 2003, the Office of Multicultural Affairs was
renamed the Office of Community and Diversity and Terryl Ross appointed as new
director in 2004. The basic mission of the office, however, did not change.
Appointed to the OSU Board of Visitors in 1986, Phyllis Lee served as
acting director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs before assuming the
directorship in 1992. After earning a doctorate in counseling from OSU in 1983,
Lee worked for Kaiser Permanente in Portland before returning to campus in
1991. Lee also worked as a public school teacher and in counseling education at
Portland State University prior to her post with the Office of Multicultural
Affairs.
Content Description
The Office of Multicultural Affairs Records document the establishment
of the office in 1991 and its administration and programs under the first

ethnicity, gender, and multiculturism at Oregon State University in the 1990s
and early 2000s as well as the extensive activities, both on- and off-campus,
of Phyllis Lee.
