At the suggestion of the Diversity Initiative's Research and Evaluation sub-committee, OHRP conduced a large-scale assessment of students' perceptions of diversity at the University. SILC was developed in response to the expressed concerns and needs of students at the University of Maryland that emerged from this and other on-campus research. SILC is comprised of a series of initiatives that engage students in myriad experiences through which intercultural skills are developed and nurtured. As part of the effort to pro-actively promote diversity programs campus wide, the Diversity Initiative established the Student Relations Sub-Committee. The committee assists OHRP in conceptualizing cutting-edge programs for all undergraduate and graduate students, from every academic discipline and across dimensions of difference.
