Community and technical colleges were founded with the principle of equity in mind, providing universal access to education for all and improving their lives as our communities evolve with the forces of immigration, we too must evolve to meet the needs of students learning English. As students attending the College identify along a gender spectrum rather than a binary choice, we too must adapt how we collect demographic data.

We recognize we have work to do to transform into a truly equitable institution free of intolerance and racism, where educational outcomes are equal among all identities and cultures, and where the potential of all employees is recognized and nurtured.
