What does Student Equity Mean?

This means acknowledging the systemic barriers that exists and prevents many historically disproportionately impacted populations from succeeding and meeting their intended educational goals.

In Summer 2017, the Student Equity & Success Committee developed a definition of what equity means at Mission College and how we could put it into action to inform our practices as faculty, classified professionals, and administrators in serving our students.
