Office of Equity and Inclusion
The Office of Equity and Inclusion fosters a transformative, restorative and engaging environment through culture renovation, partnerships, data-informed and evidence-based practices, (professional) learning opportunities and community building in order to help students and employees learn about and reflect on their own and other’s identities, positionality, experiences, and outcomes for their success.
Through student engagement, we strive to develop students for the global world; through data collection, we provide information to teach and to effectively use data to inform practice; through partnerships with departments, we can work together in shared goals of the Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Plan: BRIDGES; and through communication with our students, we can respond to traumatic events in our communities. We are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion at all levels of the college through educational programming and cultural activities that foster domestic and global awareness within the college community.
We are dedicated to examining and implementing best practices in regards to recruitment, retention, and success for all students, staff, and faculty. We are committed to creating an environment that is welcoming and accepting of differences at the college.
BRIDGES PLAN
The BRIDGES plan seeks to build the necessary bridges that help current and future students, employees, and community members get from where they currently are professionally, academically, or socially to where they would like to be.
