As the Director for the Center for Multicultural Affairs, and on behalf of the staff here at Thompson Hall, I would like to invite you to visit the center and become involved in our many clubs and programs. I have been involved in Student Affairs for seven years. I have worked with several institutions to help them achieve their goals of unity, diversity and multiculturalism. I proudly joined SUNY Fredonia in June 2004 and will use my experience and knowledge to make SUNY Fredonia a more diverse and tolerant community.

The staff here at the center has built a place where students can foster their own potential as leaders, learners, and participants. By providing a space for all students to thrive, we have helped to facilitate a teamwork approach to leadership. Various activities, events, and programs have further empowered students to form alliances with people from all backgrounds. For every student whose eyes are opened here, I see further proof of the major role we play in providing a complete education for the future citizens of this country.

Hi, my name is Travis Moore and I am the new graduate assistant in the CMA.  I received my undergraduate degree from SUNY Potsdam in Music and English.  After graduating, I took a 5 week intensive certification course in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) sponsored by Educational Services International in Pasadena California.  After receiving TEFL certification, I went to Uzbekistan for one academic year, and Morocco for another.  I am here to continue my education by getting my Masters degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and am thrilled to have this opportunity to work in the CMA.  I am married and my first baby is due this October.
