Office of Diversity Programming
Indiana University Northwest Diversity Programming Series
The Diversity Programming Series (DPS) consists of programs that are implemented as part of the ODP’s efforts to promote the message of inclusion. DPS provides unlimited opportunities for collaborative and cross-agency support of ethnic, cultural, gender, theatre, and student choice programs.
The DPS initiative supports and provides an educational venue for reinforcing the definition and understanding of diversity. Annually this office sponsors a variety of programs and events that are held on and off campus. Programming suggestions from across the university and community are encouraged to enrich the collective experience of life in Northwest Indiana and beyond.
Proposals for any event will be considered. Just be sure your proposed event/program educates, entertains and informs the community.
Criteria for selection are also based on whether or not the proposed event/program:
- Reaches out to the community.
- Provides a service to students and citizens.
- Promotes diversity.
- Contains educational content.
- Is cost-effective.
The DPS committee which consists of campus and community constituents is currently receiving proposals. The deadline for submissions is April 6, 2012. Proposals will be reviewed and selected in the spring, and awardees will be notified in May. Proposals should be for programs scheduled for anytime between August, 2012 and May, 2013. For more information, contact our office at 219-980-6596.
