The students also develop programs to challenge the university community on issues of diversity. Each year, OMA sponsors Unity in Diversity Week , a schedule of an extensive variety of activities designed to expose the Rice community to a diverse selection of cultures and issues in the hopes of fostering not only awareness, but dialogue. Every year's program is distinctive and, with direct oversight and coordination by OMA, is planned and implemented by students from a number of organizations. As with past endeavors, the Diversity Week schedule continues to represent success at incorporating a broad number of student organizations to provide programming, funding, and hands on assistance. New to the Diversity Week schedule this year, is a performance by Rice University's own Marian Anderson String Quartet.
