What is the Diversity Education Program?

DEP is an initiative implemented in the Fall of 2000.  It consists of students who want to improve cultural awareness and respect for diversity on the Southern Methodist University campus.  The organization is the student component of a University-wide Diversity Education Program and is housed in the DMSA in the Hughes Trigg Student Center, Rm. 323.  The DEP staff is made up of facilitators.  Facilitators present a variety of workshops through retreats and upon request from faculty, students, student organizations and staff.
