Rainbow Educators
The Rainbow Educators are a group of students, staff, alumni/ae, and faculty who create and present workshops at the University of San Diego on sexual orientation and other diversity issues. In the past workshops have been offered to residence halls, athletic teams, staff and faculty groups, Greek organizations, and student clubs. The workshops are interactive, dynamic, and fun; they include films, role plays, visualizations, Q&A, and personal stories.
