Definition:
Diversity is the difference among individuals and groups in reference to
cultures, ethnicities, disabilities, physicalities, class, gender, age,
religion, and educational backgrounds without negativity, denigration,
disrespect and/or prejudice.
Vision: The
Diversity Committee is the advocate and resource tool for recognition,
inclusion, understanding, acceptance, and promotion of Diversity in reference
to the members of the CPCC family and community (students, faculty, staff,
partners, and visitors).
Charge: The charge of the Diversity Committee is to ensure
the College provides a supportive, caring environment for students, employees
and guests. The Committee promotes
respect for individuals and groups and promotes inclusion in CPCC programs and
services. In addition, the Committee
reviews the Equal Opportunity Report and serves as a communication link with
the College administration regarding diversity issues.
*Attention Students, Faculty and Staff: In order for us to best serve the college,
please send us your comments and suggestions through our Suggestion
Box.
