The Office of Diversity Initiatives (ODI) is a resource center open to the entire Dickinson community and charged with advancing Dickinson’s commitment to broadening the understanding of—and building—a pluralistic society that promotes equality and integrity on the campus, in the community, and the world. The office provides individuals with the opportunity to broaden their views and enrich their cultural experiences through participation in diversity programs and training workshops. The office encourages and facilitates activities that allow students to voice their opinions, serve the community and advocate for making Dickinson a place that is reflective and responsive to our campus diversity.

Paula Lima-Jones is committed to fostering a fully inclusive campus community. ODI offers a broad range of resources and assistance for students, faculty and staff interested in diversity.
