Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Western Wyoming Community College Diversity, Equity & Inclusion committee believes in the importance of seeing things from multiple perspectives. We work to reflect and support the diverse campus and area communities we serve. We are invested in cultivating a climate where equity and inclusion are both intrinsic and explicit by valuing individuals and groups of all backgrounds, demographics, and experiences. In doing so, we foster an atmosphere of diversity, equity, and inclusion for our students, our employees and our community.
To better reflect the communities we serve, Western's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee works to break down barriers to inclusion, influence policies to foster equity, increase both awareness and presence of diversity, and empower underrepresented members of our community. We seek to heighten awareness of DEI issues throughout campus at all levels; further, we work to partner with and assist those seeking improvement in these areas.
If you are interested in serving as a student representative on this committee or would like to speak about an issue regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion please reach out to a committee member.
