TRAINING, PROGRAMMING AND EVENTS SUPPORTING DIVERSITY<br />

While the college has policies in place to advance, support, and insist on diversity, it has<br />

many programs and activities that demonstrate and support diversity. ASHC, the Student<br />

Senate, and the Inter-Club Council annually support and fund a variety of activities and<br />

events that are supportive of diversity. From Cinco de Mayo, 16 th of September, Black<br />

History Month to Inter-Tribal Cultural Events, and Asian American Heritage Month, and<br />

many other tribute and recognition activities, student government and student clubs join with<br />

the college and <strong>College</strong> staff to host and/or celebrate the rich cultural diversity of our<br />

students and region. (II.B.33)<br />

Student leadership and Student Senate members attend an annual workshop for new senators<br />

and student government leaders. Topics and trainings include cultural diversity,<br />

communication strategies, and consensus building. The Inter-Club Council assists such<br />

student clubs as MEChA apply for Student Senate funding to host cultural celebrations at the<br />

college. (II.B.35)<br />

The college has a strong history of providing support for special programs such as DSPS,<br />

EOPS, TRIO, and GEAR UP. These programs actively recruit and provide special services to<br />

underrepresented students and those with unique abilities and backgrounds. All of these<br />

services, and virtually all student learning support services offered by the Division of Student<br />

Affairs are available from a culturally-diverse, often bilingual staff.<br />
