Diversity Institute

The Diversity Institute is an annual campus wide event for students, faculty, and staff, developed to explore issues related to diversity and multiculturalism. While the format and specific topics vary by year, it is a perennial favorite at the University of Houston. A goal of the institute is to increase the visibility of CAPS services on campus, but the main objectives are to raise awareness around diversity, to promote inter-cultural contact, and to increase multicultural understanding. It is also an excellent opportunity for leadership and diversity training for students and the campus community. The CAPS Multicultural Postdoctoral Fellow, with the support of the Outreach Director, is responsible for planning and coordinating this event.
