Delta College is committed to creating an inclusive campus environment where all of our students can reach their full potential. It is our mission to develop, facilitate, and support initiatives that address Student Equity and Diversity inside and outside the classroom. We serve all members of the campus community — students, faculty, staff, and community members — through the development, facilitation, and support of programs, initiatives and services designed to help ensure equal access and opportunity for every Delta student.
The Student Equity Program focus is to ensure equal educational opportunities and to promote student success for all students. We are committed to working together as a college to better address the needs of disproportionately impacted students as identified by our campus-based research.
At Delta College, we are collectively committed to creating a more welcoming and inclusive environment on our campus for all of our students, faculty, and staff who are from a variety of diverse backgrounds.
We believe that we all play a critical role in our students' experiences and thus our students' success. We continue to support and lead campus-wide efforts to foster greater intentional collaboration to develop strategic supports to better serve our students' needs.
The Office of Student Equity and Diversity oversees the administration and management of the Student Equity Plan and supports the development and implementation of comprehensive Diversity initiatives on campus. We seek to ensure that students identified in the Student Equity Plan are successful in their academic pursuits and in particular within the identified indicators of Access, Basic Skills and ESL, Course Completion (Retention), Certificate and Degree Completion, and Transfer. Our office supports the Districts mission of providing excellent post-secondary education and supports the high-quality student services, and efforts to enhance the public good”. Additionally, we continue to work towards fostering community partnerships and strengthening Delta College’s equity and diversity presence in the service region.
We believe, our programs, initiatives, and services, both current and future, will support the vitality of student success and student equity as well as the vitality of the institution and diversity.
