Historical note

African-American Student Affairs was established as a department at North Carolina State University in 1984; in 2001, the department was renamed Multicultural Student Affairs after adding Hispanic Student Affairs and Native American Student Affairs units.

Prior to the establishment of the African-American Student Affairs department, a mentor program for African-American freshmen students was created in 1980. The program initially paired freshmen with faculty and staff who served as mentor - after 1981, in accordance with student preference, upper-class peers replaced staff members as mentors. In 1982, this program became known as the Peer Mentor Program, and as continues to be run by Multicultural Student Affairs as of 2010.
