My Many Identities - This program helps students to think about how their multiple identities intersect to create power and privilege in different settings.

Dealing with Intercultural Conflict - This program provides students with a basic understanding of how to combat discomfort when presented cultural differences.

The program questions political correctness and encourages students to find common language to discuss diversity issues at Lehigh and beyond. This program is appropriate for all groups.

White Board Wars* - This program encourages participants to think critically about the motivation behind offensive words or drawings on residence hall white boards. Students are divided into teams and asked to "get it all out" by writing down as many offensive words or drawings as they can, and then come up with as many non-offensive ways of responding. Facilitators will also share the definitions of bias-related incidents and hate crimes. This program is particularly useful for first year residence halls, at the beginning of a semester or throughout the year.

Crash: When Relationships Collide - This program is offered either in one 3-hour or two 1.5-hour sessions.

Safe Spaces: Is there Segregation on Campus?* - This program allows students to talk openly about various divisions that exist throughout the Lehigh campus.

Intellectual Exploration

Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes - This program exposes participants to a landmark sociological study about discrimination completed by teacher Jane Elliott in the late 1960's and repeated several times throughout her career.
