The Diversity & Inclusion Committee was formed in the fall of 2021, as a standing institutional committee comprised of representatives from WCC faculty, staff, and students. The Committee makes recommendations for events, projects, or processes that encourage the College to pursue diversity and inclusion in ways meaningful to our students, our employees, and/or our community.
