College Committees

Committees are another way for students to actively participate and make a difference in college life. Committees also include college faculty and staff members.

Cultural Programming Committee

The mission of the Cultural Programming Committee is to expose students and the residents of the communities served by the college to a diversity of cultural experiences, ideas and expressions.

Prevention and Awareness Committee

The primary focus of the Prevention and Awareness Committee (PAC) is to educate the college community about topics of substance abuse, mental health, and gender violence. PAC seeks to do this by sponsoring educational events on campus and providing support and referrals for students who are struggling with these topics.

Equity and Inclusion Committee

We strongly believe that diversity and inclusion are values that encourage healthy, vibrant communities. Our Equity and Inclusion Committee meets regularly to ensure that the college’s diversity statement is being acted upon in all facets of the institution’s activities.

Statement

We believe it is important to cultivate a college environment that is inclusive and respectful and which encourages creativity and appreciation of difference. In that spirit, the college will embrace people representing all facets of the human experience in order to develop, foster and promote a well-educated and enlightened community.
