The academic programs in the residence halls provide opportunities for students to become aware of and value human diversity. In addition to the classes associated with RAPs for first-year students, these opportunities include multiple sections of a GenEd course, EDUC 210 Social Diversity in Education, taught by faculty and doctoral students from the Social Justice Education concentration in the School of Education. This course is available to all upper-class residence hall students in the fall semester, and restricted to first and second year students in the spring semester.

Combining concepts and skills that help students develop an appreciation for social and cultural differences, EDUC 210 also prepares them to interrupt the negative effects of discrimination, oppression and group stereotyping. Additional social issues courses are administered through RAP and offered in residence hall classrooms. For further information contact the RAP Office (413) 545-2803.
