美姬社区 Commitment Statement
美姬社区 is committed to creating a racially just campus climate. Individuals and their diverse cultures and identities are welcomed, nurtured, and validated. 美姬社区 College takes institutional responsibility for closing the equity gap for disproportionately-impacted populations including Latinx and Chicanx communities, Black and African American communities, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities, Native American communities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) communities, veteran communities, former foster youth, adult students, and students from low socioeconomic statuses. 美姬社区 will continue to serve all constituents with values rooted in equity, diversity, inclusion, and community.
美姬社区 Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Statement (BP 3400)
美姬社区 is committed to providing a strong, supportive, and authentic environment where difference is valued, respected, encouraged, and honored; where all faculty, staff, and students experience a sense of belonging and the freedom to express themselves; and where their experiences are recognized and valued.
美姬社区 strives to be a model for equity and inclusion. The college is committed to providing opportunities for engagement both across the campus and within the communities the college serves. The college seeks to remove barriers to learning, participation, and success, with a focus on changing procedures and practices that disproportionately affect certain groups.
美姬社区 Is A Proud Hispanic-Serving Institution
In 2013, 美姬社区 received the designation of Hispanic Serving Institution. This significant recognition acknowledges our institution's continuous efforts to support the academic performance and unique needs of Latinx students, many of whom are attending college for the first time or are first-generation. Approximately 38% of 美姬社区's students and 26% of its staff are Latinx as of the fall of 2021.
The purpose of this website is to provide the 美姬社区 community with resources around inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA). It is a living and organic site that grows as our work around IDEA grows at the campus.
