Bucknell University will engage in faculty-led work to develop best practices for teaching diversity, create "faculty learning communities" focused on diversity, and offer a series of workshops on teaching diversity. Dickinson will enhance its support for male students of color and international students by testing and evaluating models to improve learning outcomes for these students and also evaluate the institution's diversity requirement. Lafayette will focus on incorporating diversity throughout the curriculum and also train a team of student leaders to serve as peer educators about multiculturalism and social justice. The institutions will meet regularly over the duration of the project to discuss progress, share expertise, and plan coordinated activities.
