Diversity in Demand (DID)
Diversity In Demand is an educational magazine published by the office once a semester. As a publication of voices speaking for change, the magazine serves as a social support vehicle for groups to embrace and promote cultural diversity. DID’s goal is to provide Dickinsonians and neighboring communities with different viewpoints on current issues underlying diversity and social justice, and to address the many issues surrounding diversity and multiculturalism on the Dickinson College campus, in society, and the world at large. Each issue of Diversity In Demand is devoted to a particular theme centered on a topical issue of diversity. Common to each edition of the magazine are articles written by the ODI staff and guests, dealing with a central theme. The magazine is distributed to regular subscribers and is made available to all Dickinson College community members in the lower and upper levels of the Holland Union Building and in the ODI.

Diversity Resource Center
ODI houses a multicultural library that serves as a resource center, which includes a collection of books, magazines, journals, music, and videotapes, that focus on areas and topics related to diversity and social justice, such as; gender, race, ethnicity, religion, history, soci-economics, global issues, etc. This resource center is open to the campus and community. The library is housed in the Diversity Assistants office located in the Leadership Development Center in the lower level of the HUB. Diversity Assistants maintain office hours throughout the year and are often available to answer questions about the office, and or any of the initiatives carried out by the ODI.

Diversity Roundtable
ODI works closely with, supports, and provides advise to several student organizations on Dickinson’s campus, and facilitates the Diversity Roundtable. The Diversity Roundtable is an umbrella group organized by the office, made up of student organizations on campus. Most of the organizations in the umbrella are diversity and social justice affiliate groups. The purpose of the Diversity Roundtable is to create meaningful and collaborative relationships amongst the organizations involved, other organizations on campus, and the community at large. The Roundtable also serves as a tool to create a safe space for leadership development, conflict resolution, intercultural relations, and organizational development for student organizations on campus. Through this roundtable, organizations work together as one to coordinate programming in a way that does not interfere with each others' programs and events. This way most organizations work together to support each other, provide cultural awareness to the community, and strengthen their commitment to community
