Equity Statement
Columbia Basin College centers equity in the decisions we make, the services we provide, and the education we offer to ensure successful outcomes for all students. One of the few Hispanic-Serving Institutions in Washington state, with Hispanic students representing over 40% of our student population, CBC is committed to discovering and enacting innovative ways to intentionally serve Hispanic students while serving all. As such, advanced intercultural knowledge and skills among our faculty is not just beneficial but essential to the success of our students and our institution as a whole.
We seek employees who demonstrate substantial experience and a robust understanding of the cultural, educational, and socioeconomic factors that influence the academic journey of Hispanic students. Our ideal candidates possess a record of proactive engagement in fostering an inclusive atmosphere where students from all backgrounds are empowered to learn, grow, and succeed.
We place a high value on the ability to communicate effectively across cultures, to implement culturally responsive teaching strategies, and to contribute to initiatives that support and promote inclusivity and equity. This intercultural fluency is a cornerstone of our educational ethos and is critical in our mission to not only educate but also to elevate the communities we serve.
Experience in serving Hispanic students is not merely a preference—it is valued at Columbia Basin College as we strive to reflect the diversity of our community within our employees and to ensure that the services we provide are equitable, relevant, and deeply attuned to the needs of our students.
