As we move to an online format, it is important that we make sure that all students feel welcome and included in your course. They also must be able to access and understand your materials. As a federally funded institution, it is the law – but more importantly, a commitment to equity and inclusion for all is a core principle of our college.

Helping our students succeed is more important than ever in this stressful time. To assist you in creating a supportive and inclusive environment here are some resources to get you started.
