PAE-T2-3: Student Training Opportunities

Current students can continue down the path of success through programs supported through the Office of Student Affairs' Multicultural Student Programs and Services (MSPS). MSPS works to provide students with access to programs, services, and clubs that will help them to expand and explore cultural diversity and multicultural education. Students will also find avenues to leadership growth, professional development, and academic excellence through MSPS. - The Martin Luther King, Jr. Series for the Study of Race is a year-long series of educational programs providing unsurpassed opportunities for Notre Dame to engage with multicultural issues of race, identity, class, power, and privilege. MLK Series programs are carefully researched and designed to deliver content-rich, immersion experiences including museum trips, live theatre, book clubs, discussions, lectures, neighborhood tours, major sporting events, and anti-racism training workshops, among other innovative learning opportunities. - The Interrace Forum is an intercultural dialogue group providing opportunities for self-discovery and dialogue about current issues impacting campus life. Discussions over dinner are facilitated by student advisory committee members and have covered topics ranging from Septmeber 11 Reflections, Fixing Public Education, Arab Spring and Occupy Movements. Presentations have been given by panels comprised of students, faculty, and administrators. - Show Some Skin is a student production that gives voice to unspoken stories about identity and difference. Actors present original monologues, written and submitted anonymously by members of the ND community, that call attention to the struggles and joys they experience when it comes to race, gender, religion, physical ability and other aspects of identity. Audiences have described the show as “thoughtful, evocative,” “provocative,” “real and raw,” a place “where people can express themselves honestly on this campus.” Show Some Skin strives to be a catalyst for the campus community’s discovery and appreciation of Notre Dame’s true diversity. Diversity Education: Practicum in Diversity Training This course trains student presenters to act as group leaders/facilitators in the three “Contemporary Topics” rotations of the physical education program for first-year students. Each rotation involves approximately 700 students. Each student in the class will facilitate approximately three small groups during their tenure as facilitators. The course begins with a two-day retreat on campus. http://studentaffairs.nd.edu/get-involved/diversity-education/
