  1. DEOMI Virtual Tour 2011 Since 1971 the Defense Race Relations Institute (DRRI) and in 1979, the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) have enhanced mission readiness by fostering human relations throughout the Department of Defense (DOD). This mission has been carried back to the Services by more than 40,000 graduates since the inception of the Institute in 1971. Our graduates maximize organizational cohesion and maintain the highest degree of mission readiness while maintaining DOD’s reputation as a place where all individuals have infinite dignity and worth.

  13. DEOMI Campus Fast Facts The DEOMI campus is a Florida Mediterranean style structure located along the Banana River on Patrick Air Force Base in central Florida. Most of the common-use areas (auditorium, library, computer lab) were placed toward the front of the building for easy access. One exception is the break areas. Both student and staff lounges were put in the rear of the building in order to take advantage of the river view. Staff and faculty work areas were located throughout the structure based on function, student accessibility and convenience to the small group rooms. This state-of-the-art educational design has helped facilitate a 20% increase in pupils, raising DEOMI’s annual total to approximately 1,500 in-resident students since the new facility opened in January 2004.

  15. The DEOMI Symbol The DEOMI symbol represents the spirit of equal opportunity in the Department of Defense. Each component has its own special and separate meaning, but together they highlight the importance of equal opportunity to mission readiness. The DEOMI symbol also encompasses the diversity, strength, and knowledge that lies in our most valuable resource–people. Complete utilization of this resource, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, or level of ability is essential to successful mission accomplishment. • Symbol Components: • Lamp: Knowledge • Circles: The red, yellow, brown, white, and black circles surrounding the lamp represent the diversity that comprises the Department of Defense • Scale: Justice and equality – ”Infinite Dignity and Worth” • Sword: Truth • Arrows: Readiness – “EO affects mission readiness”
