Our campus initiatives over the past three years include: Identifying and promoting ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion professional development opportunities for faculty, staff, and students. Supporting WCC’s Simpson Intercultural Center, which is a curated space for everyone to feel safe and secure within the campus community. The Simpson Intercultural Center provides resources and support, especially for BIPOC, LGBTQA+, disabled, and other systemically non-dominant communities. Everyone is welcome to attend events, receive tutoring, advising, or stop by to find a community. WCC’s Intercultural Center provides robust programming and sponsors over 70 events each year. Launching our Intercultural Center peer navigation mentorship program where students are connected with peer mentors who help them transition to college by finding academic, cultural, and social support systems, and connecting with each other and the campus community.
