IDE regularly offers the programs listed below. In addition, we often bring other programs and training opportunities to campus. For example, IDE sponsors annual campus residencies focused on navigating difficult workplace dynamics by the Cornell Interactive Theatre Ensemble and brings workshops about socio-economic class to campus by Class Action.

Departments and groups are invited to request any of our workshops or programs for your staff, work group or members, and we will schedule and customize them to fit your needs. Additionally, we welcome requests for custom-designed programs.

Disability & Employment

This 2-hour workshop provides participants with a foundation for understanding employment issues related to disability and accommodation. It includes a thorough presentation of relevant laws, definitions, and accommodation guidelines, as well as an interactive exercise using case studies.

Diversity 101 and Beyond 101: Diversity Next Steps

Diversity 101 is a 4-hour, interactive workshop designed to enhance participants' self-awareness and understanding of others by examining issues related to identity and differences, including gender, race, religion, class, sexual orientation, and ability/disability. The workshop strives to insure that all participants see themselves reflected in its materials and exercises, and it is intended to be challenging, informative, thought provoking, and rewarding.  This program replaces, and covers much of the same ground as, the Campus of Difference program offered at Dartmouth since 1996. Beyond 101: Diversity Next Steps is a level two workshop for those who have participated in Diversity 101. It includes extended exploration of gender related issues (sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression) and the construction of race, as well as Dartmouth-specific case study exercises.

Diversity Forum

The Dartmouth Diversity Forum meets monthly to provide an opportunity for members of the staff, faculty, and administration to discuss diversity and community at Dartmouth. Our focus is both personal growth and institutional application.

Diversity Reading and Film Groups

These discussion groups bring together people from across the College to expand participants' awareness and appreciation of diversity issues; promote open and extended discussion of diversity issues; and enhance the feeling of community at Dartmouth.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People

A nationally renowned program, the 7 Habits allows participants to examine and enhance valuable interpersonal skills and concepts (active listening, synergy, and paradigm construction) that we believe are crucial for any individual or group that wishes to honor the notion of "community." 7 Habits is an intensive 28-hour seminar offered in a variety of formats to meet the needs of our complex work schedules.

Twenty Questions About Dartmouth

A 60 to 90 minute program centered around a 20-question quiz that generates discussion about Dartmouth and subtly asks what we know about our institution. We all claim to know the College, but in truth there is an awful lot to know.  And most of us know some parts better than others. The quiz generates conversation about diversity, campus organization, College history and the imagined narrative of tradition.

Teaching Science Seminar

This monthly seminar series is sponsored by IDE, the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning, and the Dean of the Faculty office, and its goals are to increase faculty awareness of research related to teaching students in the sciences, math, and engineering and to explore strategies to improve the retention and diversity of students.

Understanding Sexual Harassment

Participants in this two-hour workshop find out how this critical issue affects their daily work environment and learn to recognize and address sexual harassment in the workplace. Workshop covers definitions, laws, policies and key issues and includes an interactive role-play based on a compelling video scenario. Designed for those who have not undergone previous sexual harassment awareness training.

Video and Film Dialogues

We encourage you to borrow a variety of diversity related films from our small and growing collection. We can provide discussion questions and activities to enhance your learning and/or meet for a one-hour consultation with anyone interested in using a film as part of an office or group activity.

A complete list of films available for lending can be found by visiting our Film Library.

We are building our video collection - if you have something to recommend, please let us know!
