Events

The Diversity Center presents two big annual events to further its mission of advancing diversity, challenging assumptions, and advocating for understanding.

For over 50 years The Diversity Center has hosted the Humanitarian Award Dinner. 

This year's dinner was held on Wednesday, November 7, 2007, in honor of Christopher Connor, Chairman, CEO & President of The Sherwin-Williams Company and Eugene Sanders, Ph.D., CEO of the Cleveland Municipal School District. 

Walk, Rock & Run, The Diversity Center's 6th annual walkathon and 5K run will occur on May 3, 2008. 

One-time events include:
