Diversity Council

Oakton Community College’s Diversity Council supports the Office of Access, Equity, and Diversity in its efforts to make the college a more inclusive, diverse, and anti-bias institution.  The Council actively engages the college community in its work and supports Oakton’s overall mission.

Specific goals include:

• Raising awareness about the importance of creating an inclusive collegiate environment.
• Collecting and disseminating “best practices” in this area to help all of the college’s departments and divisions in their own efforts to create an anti-bias environment.
• Providing knowledge and education on access, equity, and diversity to all faculty and staff.
• Offering innovative programming and exhibitions that showcase the Council’s mission.
• Encouraging all areas of the college to clearly define how their work supports the goals of the Office of Access, Equity, and Diversity.
