UW-Madison
The Office of Multicultural Arts Initiatives within the Division of Diversity, Equity, & Educational Achievement at the University of Wisconsin-Madison provides culturally relevant and transformative arts programming to promote positive social dialogue and to give cultural art forms a legitimate academic forum. By harnessing the broad cultural influence of spoken word, hip hop and emerging as well as traditional art forms, OMAI’s events and programming create learning environments that directly affect UW-Madison’s campus climate, improving retention and graduation success, preparing future leaders to reinvest in their communities. By continually refreshing this paradigm that integrates traditional academics and cutting edge arts activism, OMAI empowers transnational leaders with new tools for inclusive community building.
Seeking community support for Passing the Mic(PtM) is a dynamic 2-day festival designed to engage, inspire, and recruit prospective scholars for the First Wave Hip Hop Scholarship Program. This event brings together students from local and national community organizations whose members excel in civic engagement, artistic excellence, and other qualities that align with the mission of the First Wave program. Through a series of interactive workshops, tours, presentations, and performances, the festival immerses these prospective students in the vibrant community of the University of Wisconsin (UW) and introduces them to the First Wave Hip Hop Scholarship Program's unique offerings.
