The Office of Diversity Education student peer diversity
educators, Bridge Builders, serve as a student committee devoted
to improving multicultural awareness and promoting respect for
diversity on the Southwestern University campus.  The Office of
Diversity Education uses peer facilitators to present workshops,
retreats and facilitate discussion groups to achieve these
objectives.  The peer diversity educators participate in extensive
and intensive training on issues of diversity to prepare them for
their roles in the Diversity Education program.  Additionally, they
participate in weekly meetings to work on retreats, workshops,
and continuing education.

with groups and events other than those you usually would
participate in, and invite Bridge Builders to do a workshop for
your organization or group.  Check out the workshop page,
