Diversity Initiative
Vision for Diversity Initiative
Kellogg Community College provides an inclusive environment that supports the need of all persons to achieve their potential by respecting individual uniqueness and perspectives. We expect that every member of our academic community will adopt and enhance this vision.
Mission for Diversity Initiative
Kellogg Community College values a stable learning environment in all of its forms: classroom instruction, independent learning, co-curricular learning, and the improvement of our own administrative and academic processes. Learning involves developing an appreciation for people of different backgrounds that exhibit diverse types of thinking.
Kellogg Community College is proactive in encouraging staff, students, and community members to explore and experience various cultures and diverse life experiences that are available on the campus and in the community. We challenge and support each other to gain an understanding of how various ethnic and cultural backgrounds, life experiences, and orientations affect how we see the world. These interactions afford us the opportunity to broaden our world-view as well as enhance our sensitivities and appreciation of diversity.
In order to create a campus community that affirms the dignity, value and uniqueness of each person, we intend to actively pursue the recruitment and retention of a more diverse group of employees and students. We will ensure that the campus environment is welcoming and affirming for all persons.
The educational environment of our campus is enriched by the diversity of all who come together in a spirit of learning. It is our goal to graduate individuals who understand and appreciate the things that we have in common as well as those that make us unique. We strive to instill skills, attitudes, and sensitivities that are essential for leaders in a diverse world.
