Diversity Fellow
-- Embracing Diversity at PSU
The Diversity Fellow is a student working with the Department of Residential Life as part of a proactive
educational group to promote the awareness and value of diversity to society and to the on-campus housing
community at Plymouth State University. Diversity Fellows increase awareness of diversity related issues, create
dialogue that enhances the perception of diversity, and work to build Residence Hall community. Diversity
Fellows help develop educational programs to promote the necessity, awareness, and acceptance for diversity to
Residence Hall students. The Diversity Fellow receives direct supervision from the Residential Life Coordinator of
Diversity Programs and additional supervision from the professional live-on staff.
