(1) Religious diversity
Make friends, visit, study or worship in places of different religious practices and denomination. If you treat religions as different languages for spiritual laws, cultures and customs, learning different religions is like learning multiple languages.
(2) Race and Economics
If you are going to explore race or class relations, worshipping in a Christian church with neighbors of another race is a great way to build bridges in a positive environment. Or volunteering with a nonprofit group that serves a certain population you are not familiar with -- such as the poverty sector, prison inmates, homeless, elderly centers, or at-risk children, etc.
(3) Culture and language
Learning new languages or sharing in culture events, foods, festivals, etc. outside your own traditions
(4) Political diversity
Going to meetings, volunteering, making friends with different political views or goals, and working together on solutions across political lines, parties or biases.
(5) Art and music
Studying different art forms or styles of music to understand the culture or background of the artists or writers. Putting together a program to display or present different types of art or music along a common theme, such as world peace.

Im an Ra (resident assistant) and we have to program about diversity all the time.
There are so many different types of diversity so ill just give a general idea. I once had a diversity program where everyone cooked a food of their nation and wrote a little fact card. Everyone was then asked to "tour the earth" and get a sample of everyones dishes. this takes no set up what so ever, just making sure people are going to make stuff.
I also held a program about genders. I had a battle of the sexes where guys and girls were asked to split and then were allowed to ask each other questions that they wanted to know. Like why dont boys cry, or why do girls go to the bathroom in packs. That was not too hard either.
Umm you can try to learn as much as you can about different relationships, LGBTA always needs allies (straight people who support LGBTA issues).
You can always go to diversity aware clubs and always learn about different diverse issues. And then talk to people about it. Be aware of your surroundings, dont always assume and ask alot of questions :)

RE:
How can i contribute to diversity?

You can contribute to diversity by being receptive and respectful of others and their ideas. You don't have to agree with what they say or do, you just have to be open to the fact that different people have different ways of doing things or thinking.

Along with that, just remember that you don't always have to be right.

Taking risks and moving outside your comfort zone. I strongly believe that diversity shouldn't be based on "tolerance" but instead understanding the other culture you are working with. So, if you're black, go to an asian event. If you're white, go hang out with the latina sorority, etc. It's imperative that you have experiences that are different from your own so you can not just tolerate a culture, but understand it.

I think we can all promote diversity by not being closed-minded, but being tolerant and understanding of the differences that arise from divergent nationalities and cultures, languages,backgrounds, race, religion, social status, economic standing, and other differences that all combine to make us wonderfully unique.

Just by respecting your diverse team-mate and "including" them in working together towards the common goal.

The longer you stay in college, diverse it gets?

By eliminating the college courses of Sociology... All that subject does is group people, and ends up promoting segregation.
