A space for all identities
Through the establishment of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force, we reiterate JCC’s commitment to creating a campus community that embraces and responds to an increasingly diverse and globalized world. We aim to celebrate the identities and experiences of our students, faculty, and staff while recognizing that valuing our differences makes us stronger.
The task force meets monthly to align campus efforts around diversity, equity, and inclusion within the broader context of JCC’s strategic plan, with representation from students, faculty, staff, and the leadership team.
