Time to Set the Record Straight

People attend college for many reasons...to learn a language, to learn a new skill for their job, to earn a certificate, to give back to their communities, to earn a four-year degree, or to start a new business.

5 Myths About Community College investigates some of the most popular, and we're going to show you why they are not as true as you might think.

THE GREEN RIVER COLLEGE PROMISE:

We commit to be an anti-racist institution where all students, faculty, and staff receive the access, resources, and services needed to achieve their educational, career, and personal goals. Green River College makes social and economic justice, equity, and inclusion our highest priorities.

The Green River College definition of equity encompasses all identities, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, economic status, gender identity, sexual identity, disability, religion/spirituality, immigration status, age, and culture. We understand individual needs vary widely, and the effects of discrimination and historical oppression must be taken into account while aiming for equitable opportunities and outcomes for all.

Let this be a call to action to all members of the Green River College Community: everyone must contribute to this on-going effort to achieve equity for all.
