As a community college, Delta is open to everyone and respects and values our differences. We embrace diversity, work to address equity gaps, and practice inclusion to foster a culture of belonging at every level of course development, student engagement and human experience.
Creating a culture of belonging
In 2022, the college established a Belong, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Office to focus our long-standing cross-departmental initiatives. The office offers learning and engagement opportunities for students and professional development seminars for employees.
The college as a whole benefits when many different perspectives are represented, valued and supported. By creating a culture of belonging at Delta, we appreciate disparity in identity, experiences, expertise, ideas and opinions of all people.
In addition to race and ethnicity, diversity includes perspectives and identities generally underrepresented in the mainstream of our society due to religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, height, weight, arrest record, veteran status or disability.
