DEI Council

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council at 酴圖弝け Community College (酴圖弝け) provides educational opportunities that will allow members of the 酴圖弝け community to examine and increase awareness of the relationship between privilege and power.

Through presentations, literature, research, resources, and dialogue and with a focus on dismantling systems of power and oppression, we seek to empower, protect, and amplify the voices and experiences of individuals and groups not afforded systemic advantages.

As members of this council, we commit to educating our campus and ourselves on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion and to serving as informed moderators of rigorous and respectful discussions on these topics in order to create a more equitable, inclusive, and compassionate educational and work environment on our campus.

The purpose of this webpage is to highlight upcoming and ongoing campus events, share resources for increasing personal and institutional awareness around diversity, equity, and inclusion, and connect 酴圖弝け students, staff, and faculty with local and virtual opportunities for DEI professional development.

The DEI Council provides some funding for professional development, and may be able to connect interested students, staff, and faculty with additional funding sources. Please contact us for details.

DEI Council Mission

The mission of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council at 酴圖弝け Community College is to build a culture of acceptance, a commitment to social justice, and educate ourselves and our community about the relationship between privilege and power.

We dedicate ourselves to concrete and actionable steps that will dismantle the systems of oppression that exclude people based on differences. We commit to centering the voices of people whose experiences are ignored. We identify our own privileges and the way we benefit from systems that oppress others, we will use those privileges to protect and amplify those who are not given similar systemic advantages.

We recognize that there is a fundamental connection between individual reflection and action and greater collective change. As individuals and as a college, we commit to examining and challenging our biases with the goals of: creating a feeling of belonging, connectedness, and safety for all; investing in the personal growth of students and all who work at 酴圖弝け; and working toward a community where no one is oppressed, set aside, or exploited. We believe that the education of ourselves, our students, and our community is key to creating a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive society, and commit to the continued learning and action that will lead to change.

La misi籀n del Consejo de Diversidad, Equidad e Inclusi籀n en 酴圖弝け Community College es construir una cultura de aceptaci籀n, un compromiso con la justicia social y educarnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestra comunidad sobre la relaci籀n entre privilegio y poder.

Nos dedicamos a dar pasos concretos y viables que desmantelen los sistemas de opresi籀n que excluyen a las personas bas獺ndose en diferencias. Nos comprometemos a centrar las voces de las personas cuyas experiencias son ignoradas. Identificamos nuestros propios privilegios y la forma en que nos beneficiamos de los sistemas que oprimen a otros, usaremos esos privilegios para proteger y amplificar las voces de aquellos que no reciben ventajas sist矇micas similares.

Reconocemos que existe una conexi籀n fundamental entre la reflexi籀n, las acciones individuales y un mayor cambio colectivo. Como individuos y como universidad, nos comprometemos a examinar y desafiar nuestros prejuicios con las metas de: crear un sentimiento de pertenencia, conexi籀n y seguridad para todos; invertir en el crecimiento personal de los estudiantes y todos los que trabajan en 酴圖弝け; y trabajar hacia una comunidad donde nadie sea oprimido, apartado o explotado. Creemos que la educaci籀n de nosotros mismos, nuestros estudiantes y nuestra comunidad es clave para crear una sociedad m獺s equitativa, diversa e inclusiva, y nos comprometemos con el aprendizaje continuo y la acci籀n que conducir獺 al cambio.

Die Mission des Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Rats im 酴圖弝け Community College ist es, eine Kultur der Akzeptanz zu schaffen, eine Verpflichtung zu sozialer Gerechtigkeit einzugehen und uns und unsere Gemeinschaft unentwegt 羹ber das Verh瓣ltnis zwischen Privileg und Macht zu unterrichten.

Wir verpflichten uns zu konkreten und umsetzbaren Schritten, um die Systeme der Unterdr羹ckung aufzubrechen, welche Menschen aufgrund ihrer Unterschiede, ausgrenzen. Wir verpflichten uns dazu, die Stimmen derer, die historisch ignoriert und unterdr羹ckt wurden, zu zentrieren und in den Fokus zu stellen. Wir identifizieren unsere eigenen Privilegien und die Art und Weise, wie wir von den Systemen, die andere unterdr羹cken, profitieren. Wir werden diese Privilegien nutzen um diejenigen, die nicht dieselben strukturellen Vorteile genieen, zu besch羹tzen und ihre Stimmen zu verst瓣rken.

Wir erkennen, dass eine fundamentale Beziehung zwischen individueller Reflektion und Aktion, sowie gr繹erem, gemeinschaftlichem Wandel, besteht. Als Individuen und als Organisation verpflichten wir uns dazu, unsere Vorurteile zu untersuchen und herauszufordern, mit folgenden Zielen: Ein Gef羹hl der Zusammengeh繹rigkeit und Sicherheit f羹r alle zu erschaffen; in das pers繹nliche Wachstum sowohl unserer Studenten, als auch aller Mitarbeiter von 酴圖弝け zu investieren; und darauf hin zu arbeiten, eine Gemeinschaft zu schaffen, in der kein Mensch unterdr羹ckt, zur羹ckgestellt oder ausgebeutet wird. Wir glauben daran, dass Bildung f羹r uns und unsere Studenten, sowie f羹r unserer Gemeinschaft, ausschlaggebend ist um eine gerechtere, vielf瓣ltigere und inklusivere Gesellschaft zu erschaffen. Wir verpflichten uns zu kontinuierlicher Weiterbildung und Aktion um diesen Wandel innerhalb unserer Gesellschaft zu erzielen.

La mission du Conseil de la diversit矇, de l'矇quit矇 et de l'inclusion du Coll癡ge Communautaire de 酴圖弝け est de cr矇er une culture d'acceptation, un engagement envers la justice sociale et de nous informer, ainsi que notre communaut矇, sur la relation entre privil癡ge et pouvoir.

Nous nous consacrons des mesures concr癡tes et r矇alisables qui permettront de d矇manteler les syst癡mes d'oppression qui excluent les gens sur la base des diff矇rences. Nous nous engageons concentrer la voix des personnes dont les exp矇riences sont ignor矇es. Nous identifions nos propres privil癡ges et la mani癡re dont nous b矇n矇ficions de syst癡mes qui oppriment les autres, nous utiliserons ces privil癡ges pour prot矇ger et amplifier ceux qui ne b矇n矇ficient pas d'avantages syst矇miques similaires.

Nous reconnaissons qu'il existe un lien fondamental entre la r矇flexion et l'action individuelles et un changement collectif plus important. En tant qu'individus et en tant que coll癡ge, nous nous engageons examiner et contester nos pr矇jug矇s dans le but de: cr矇er un sentiment d'appartenance, de connectivit矇 et de s矇curit矇 pour tous; investir dans la croissance personnelle des 矇tudiants et de tous ceux qui travaillent 酴圖弝け; et travailler l'矇tablissement d'une communaut矇 o羅 personne n'est opprim矇, mis de c繫t矇 ou exploit矇.
