Why is diversity important at the College of Lake County?
一个重要的答案是:大学必须拥抱多元化，如果它要让学生为一个越来越需要来自不同背景和地方的人彼此工作和做生意的世界做好准备。
另一个可能是更根本的答案是，多样性是我们自身不可分割的一部分。你只需要参观我们的一个校园，就会意识到我们的学生是多样化的。一个多元化的世界不仅在“外面”等待着我们的学生;它就在这里，是CLC经历的一个重要部分。
这就是为什么我们致力于创造和维持一个环境，帮助每个成员的大学社区感到欢迎和重视。这种环境就是鼓励相互尊重和理解。这是关于创造机会和消除偏见。尽管这些想法听起来很基本，但实现起来并不容易。成功需要一系列的方法，从在我们的招聘实践中包容到在我们的课程中注入多元文化的内容。
Diversity is a Value
CLC believes so much in the importance of diversity that it is featured prominently in the college'sstrategic planas both a core institutional value and as one of our six strategic goals. We believe that diversity is a value we hold, but it is also something that we must actively work to achieve.
Diversity Council and Governance
To support us in living up to our diversity value and achieving our diversity goal, we have established aDiversity Councilas part of our governance structure. It provides direction and recommendation of diversity-related activities and a forum for generating ideas and new initiatives. But to really make progress on diversity, we will need the support and involvement of the entire college community. We invite you to be part of this important effort to build a culture that truly realizes the opportunity-enhancing promise of diversity.
As part of our Diversity initiatives, the College provides the opportunity for employees to form Employee Resource Groups. For more information on these groups, visit the Employee Resource Groups page.
