Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statement

Southwestern Community College is an open-door institution committed to providing equal access to all students, employees, and community members. We are committed to remaining informed of the dimensions of diversity represented in our communities as awareness is an important step in embracing diversity and inclusion. This knowledge allows us to apply what we learn about diversity to create an environment where everyone feels included and respected, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities/qualities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, marital status, or other ideologies, and recognizes that no one culture is intrinsically superior to another.
