Diversity, Outreach, Advocacy

The purpose of DOA is to serve as the department's compass- to ensure that we are continuing to work discuss issues and to engage in training related to diversity, to look at practices related to our work in order to secure an inclusive working environment, and to facilitate projects/initiatives/research related to the area of diversity.
It is important for Residence Life to create an environment which:

  • Each citizen feels he/she rightfully belongs

  • One's dignity and membership is recognized and respected regardless of distinctions in identity

  • The moral and legal rights to free through, speech, and opinion are encouraged in an atmosphere of mutual acknowledgement and respect.

  • Judgments by other are made solely on one's conduct, character, and exercise of citizenship and intellect.

DOA works closely with Residents of Color Council (ROCC), creating partnerships with neighboring universities such as Howard University, and proving programs such as Tunnel of Oppression.
If you are curious on how to get involved with diversity outreach, feel free to get in touch with Aja Holmes at ach52@georgetown.edu.

Below are links to help Residence Life Staff with promoting and encouraging diversity within the residence halls through programming, bulletin boards, and movie discussions.
