Students use guidelines and objectives to create their own plans for exploring diversity in education. Essentially, students create a contract of activities they wish to complete in order to satisfy the Diversity in Education Requirement. The IDP activities can be incorporated into students' course work, job experiences, practicum placements and community service opportunities. In many cases, course work can be used directly in the IDP contracts. Students can use both campus and community organizations that offer interactive learning opportunities as part of their plans.
Students can use past experiences to supplement or enhance their IDP contracts.
CEP staff members are available to help students with their IDP contracts. Review this handout. Begin developing ideas for activities that you would like to incorporate in your IDP contract. These activities must satisfy the objectives listed on page 3 of this packet. Make a list of the courses and practica that you still need to complete.
