The SVCC Diversity and Inclusion Committee is dedicated to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and thriving campus community. Our purpose is to promote diversity in all its forms, recognize intersectionality, and actively work towards eliminating systemic barriers to opportunities to better allow for full participation and growth in all areas of academics, employment, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities. We are committed to creating an environment where all individuals feel that they belong, are valued, heard, and are empowered to reach their full potential. In alignment with our campus mission and values, we strive to build and maintain a campus culture that respects the worth and dignity of every member, embodies integrity and fairness, and fosters responsibility, accountability, and persistence within a caring and supportive environment.
