Resident Assistants can schedule diversity programs for their
house by calling 725-2800.
- Crossing the Line
- Program that should be held in the winter and spring quarters
after a community has developed sufficient trust to explore deeper
issues. Crossing the Line works because it allows a community to
acknowledge both individual and group identity, diversity and
humanity, community without cultural uniformity. It is an exercise
that builds community by visually demonstrating dimension in
individuals and commonality in a community at the intersections
where there is overlap in multiple identities.
- Gender Alliance
- Program that is better presented early in the year to raise
awareness about gender issues and to encourage a community to
establish its own norms about gender relationships. Gender
Alliance raises awareness about the importance of really listening
and applying basic communication skills.
- Stand and Declare
- Program that RAs can use to generate discussion about issues.
Participants are asked to identify their level of agreement with
statements. Discussion follows each "stand and declare."
- The Other 50%
- Version of Stand and Declare. It is usually done in houses
with members of a theme group and non-theme group members
indicating their level of agreement in a bi-polar manner.
- Star Power
- Simulation of economic competition and its impact on
community.
- The Power Shuffle
- Program that should be held in the spring quarter after a
community has developed sufficient trust to explore deeper issues.
The Power Shuffle allows participants to explore the meaning of
"power".
- Stanford Dialogues
- Formed throughout the year regarding a variety of issues.
Dialogue groups consist of 8-16 people and meet at least 6 times
for a minimum of one hour.
