Core Diversity Programs

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.
