Learning Outcome Planning Objective
Diversity Enrichment Model
Objective: Resident Assistants will increase the awareness and understanding of diversity issues of residential students via targeted activities and programs.
Rationale:
- Increasing the awareness and understanding of diversity issues of residential students is critical because the residence halls are a microcosm of the larger society. Targeted diversity activities and programs implemented by Resident Assistant staff help to encourage and increase awareness and understanding of diversity issues experienced by residential students.
Measures:
- A Pre-Test and Post-Test diversity survey will be distributed at the beginning and the end of each academic year to every residential student in order to evaluate each residential studentŐs initial understanding of diversity and their growth in understanding of diversity issues throughout the year. The diversity survey achieves two major goals. It first collects demographic information regarding residential students. Second, there are five fill-in-the-blank questions to which residential students are asked to respond. These questions include: 1) How does diversity affect you? Is it important?; 2) What concerns or excites you about diversity?; 3) What diversity-related programs would you like to see this year? (i.e. dancing, food dishes, speakers, interactive activities, etc.); 4) Do you think diversity awareness is an important issue for this world, the United States, ULV, and ULV: Housing & Residential Life (please circle): Yes No; and 5) What do you value most in your life. The Assistant Residence Coordinator, Diversity will distribute surveys to all residential students and evaluate these surveys once in September and then once in May of each Academic year.
Questions regarding the programs and outcomes outlined in this section should be addressed to Dr. Byron Howlett Director, Housing & Residential Life, (909) 593.3511, Ext. 4052 or howlett@ulv.edu
