The Douglass Office of New Student and Diverse Community Programs works to assist students in broadening their awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the diverse community of women at Douglass College. Understanding and appreciating the dynamics of race, culture, class, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, and abilities all are part of the undergraduate experience. Discussions in and out of the classroom, attendance at programs in the residence halls and the college center, and participation in clubs and organizations are encouraged strongly so that students may grow in their own development. The office works with members of the college and university community to respond to acts of intolerance, insensitivity, or bias. Students interested in promoting a community that celebrates diver-sity are encouraged to participate in any of the cultural history months sponsored by the student activities office and to serve on the Equal Opportunity Board.
