Mission
Clackamas Community College strives to address, explore, educate, learn about, and respond to the
diversity of the human experience.
We prepare our students to successfully understand diverse perspectives and backgrounds by teaching
critical thinking, empathy, and a deeper appreciation of others.
We create an inclusive, equitable, culturally competent, and supportive environment where students and
employees model behavior that enriches our community.
Purpose
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee will guide and hold the institution accountable in
the integration of diversity, equity, and inclusion into all aspects of the work at Clackamas Community
College.
Committee Member Expectations/Commitment:
Membership terms are limited with the option for renewal. The DEI Committee year coincides
with the CCC academic year (September to June).
Members are expected to commit at least six hours per month to the DEI Committee. The
committee meets twice a month, plus subcommittee meetings, and events.
Attend DEI Committee meetings and be prepared to engage. Meetings are the second and fourth
Fridays of the month from 9:30am-11am.
Members are expected to join a subcommittee and meet with your subcommittee outside of DEI
Committee meetings. Subcommittee leads report back to the DEI Committee, and share
information from the DEI Committee with their subcommittee members.
Members are expected to participate and attend DEI Committee sponsored events, training, and
retreats whenever possible.
