SJCE provides diversity training through flexible, engaging, and experiential learning and serves as a unique way of supporting student identity and interpersonal development.

DTA is an original Ohio State Newark & Central Ohio Technical College art program, specifically designed for youth to express the meaning of diversity using their imagination through various forms of mediums such as paints, 3-D sculptures, sketching, clay, and digital design. Students, staff and faculty can volunteer their time, 35 minutes to one-hour, one day or multiple days over an eight week period. The art work will be displayed on campus with a reception for the youth and their families and volunteers.
