Programs and Outreach

Dartmouth has a charter commitment and a proud tradition of open access for all. We need to live up to that tradition and ensure that we not only provide equal access for all qualified students but that we also encourage a climate at the College that is open and accepting of difference. An academic community can afford to be no less than this.

We hope that the programs and outreach we offer enable our community to achieve this vision.

Training & Educational Programs Winter 2008 Update

Training & Educational Programs

IDE provides a range of workshops, presentations, discussions and other activities designed to explore diversity and promote fairness, respect and excellence in our working and learning environments. We invite you to review these programs and request that we work in partnership with you to bring one (or more!) to your group, office or organization.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration

Each year the Office of Institutional Diversity & Equity, together with the Office of Conferences and Special Events, arranges a series of events to celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The program theme varies each year, but we are always trying to explore what we learn in our society and what shapes us as we negotiate the diverse world that surrounds us. Throughout our celebration, we attempt to acknowledge a number of very powerful and competing dynamics in US history; some of them affirm our humanity, some detract from it. A campus that values difference and that supports diversity is a campus that encourages its members to explore the complexities that are central to intellectual life, and it our hope that the annual MLK celebration enables us to better engage is this kind of exploration.

Economic Equity Initiative

This ongoing campus project seeks to educate and empower our community to understand and address socio-economic difference as an important element of diversity in our lives and institution. It is jointly coordinated by the Office of Institutional Diversity & Equity, the Office of Pluralism & Leadership, and the Tucker Foundation.

How To . . . Strategies and Approaches for Cultural Competency

This new resource is designed to provide some helpful ideas about how to address opportunities and challenges related to cultural diversity, difference, and inclusivity. We are eager to hear from you about situations and topics we might target for future "How To" installments.

Current Installments:
Responding to Questions of Cultural Insensitivity
Talking with Teachers (and other adults in our children's lives)
Be Curious, Not Invasive

Community Outreach Initiative

Working with campus partners, IDE is in initial stages of developing a platform for providing diversity-related training, programs, resources, and referral to Upper Valley schools, civic organizations, and other community entities. If you would like to participate in helping us develop this initiative, or if you are involved in related endeavors and are willing to consult with us, please contact Byron Breese

Religious Holidays 2007

Interfaith Calendar provides a listing of major religious holidays that may be helpful to those who plan activities and events on campus. Additionally, we hope it is helpful in providing a context within which religious observance more generally might be understood.
