The Campus Organizations sub-series (1972-2009, 1 linear foot, 0.5 GB) includes files on organizations addressing diversity and multicultural concerns. While files from a number of organizations and programs are contained in this sub-series, two are more comprehensive than the others, because they were key parts of Housing Special Programs: Project Awareness, including the Minority Peer Advisor program, and the university's minority and multicultural spaces. The Minority Peer Advisor Program created a staff position the goal of which was to help foster multicultural understanding and help advise and counsel students in social as well as academic matters. Minority and Multicultural spaces gave minority students and organizations space in which to come together.

The Events sub-series (1984-2005 and undated, 1.25 linear feet, 12.2 GB) includes slides, photographs, and VHS tapes, as well as content from CD and DVDs available online. These materials come mostly from a variety of multicultural events, such as the Bronze Elegance fashion and talent show, a black history quiz bowl, and the Minority Peer Advisor program's 30th reunion in 2003, and show students, staff, faculty, and guests, including Gloria Steinem and Bell Hooks. There is also a documentary produced by students and faculty of History 397, focusing on stories of diversity in the university's history and an informational video outlining action to address racism on campus.
