Our Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging:

Diversity Statement: Jefferson College is a community leader dedicated to supporting and promoting diversity through opportunities and experiences that foster a culture of respect, inclusiveness, and understanding for everyone in the campus community to engage in a diverse world.

Diversity and inclusion at Jefferson College is a collective effort that comes from staff, faculty and students working together to make sure our campus is a welcoming place for all people, regardless of background or identity.

The Diversity Committee has written a draft of our 2023-28 Diversity Plan. We appreciate the feedback provided at our campus-wide sessions to review new Diversity Plan!
