Students enrolled in OR courses are required to attend two (2) events/activities as listed on the Calendar of Events posted by the Office of Community and Student Success (CSS) [LINK]. Diversity Dive aims to create a space for exposing students to various cultures, experiences, and perspectives across the Campbellsville University campus.
This experiential learning assignment provides students with opportunities to explore and celebrate different cultures and build community on campus. Exit tickets will be issued to students at each event to receive credit for their participation.
It is the responsibility of the student to turn their EXIT TICKET into their instructor to receive credit as proof of participation in the Diversity Dive event. Tickets will be given upon entry and stamped upon exit of each event.
