DIVERSITY COMMITTEE
The Diversity Committee is a standing campus committee
dedicated to generating response to and support for
culturally relevant issues. The committee maintains an
inclusive membership of faculty, students, staff, and
administration and meets twice a month to discuss issues,
plan workshops, and determine training needs. Based
on committee work, faculty receive resources related to
classroom management and professional development,
staff receive resources related to student engagement and
cultural relevance, and students receive resources related
to identity development and cultural relevance for a global
workforce. College strategic planning, accreditation, and
educational resources inspire the work of the committee
and, in turn, committee members participate in shared
governance opportunities on campus. For more information
about the Diversity Committee contact one of the Chairs;

veteran status. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that may
offend the recipient, cause discomfort, or humiliation and
interfere with school or job performance.

anyone on campus or at an off-campus event, you may
report it to the Vice President of Student Services office at
(425) 739-8102 or the Executive Director of Human Resources
