About the Diversity Committee

The Diversity Committee reviews and plans annual college-wide diversity activities, participates in employment search committees, provides input on important college policies, develops (facilitates, and recommends) appropriate management and staff diversity training, performs diversity related fact-finding activities as needed, periodically reviews and revises HCC diversity plan and responds to current diversity issues affecting the college community.

Outcomes are measured by:

The diverse schedule of annual college activities.
The number of faculty and staff search committees in which we participate.
The periodic review, recommendation and implementation of "as needed" staff, faculty, students and administrative diversity training throughout the college school year.
The climate of diversity ratings on student and faculty/staff surveys.
