A goal of the Diversity Center is to be an inclusive and inviting space for students to congregate and enjoy community. The Diversity Center has an open door policy that encourages students to come in, eat lunch, finish homework, talk about life at PLU, ask questions, and more. In addition to the open door policy, the Diversity Center also programs weekly and monthly activities that provide unique opportunities to learn about and socialize with other cultures. Students who have found the Diversity Center to be a resource comment on the welcoming atmosphere, openness of student Diversity Advocates, the inviting space for questions and learning, and the chance to just be a regular student in a comfortable setting.

The Diversity Center also has resources on multicultural and diverse clubs and organizations on campus, as well as in the local and regional community.
