  Inclusion of all types of diverse populations is fundamental\u00a0to GCC. The institutional statement of inclusion<\/a> reads: \"As an inclusive community, Greenfield Community College engages in intentional and ongoing reflection of diversity as we seek to create a culture that values, encourages, and embraces a wide range of individual and group differences.\"\u00a0Diversity is also a component of GCC's\u00a0Principles of Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  GCC promotes the recruitment and retention of diverse staff and faculty. Information about human resources and contact information for GCC's Chief Diversity Officer can be found on the Human Resources website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  Diversity is also a part of the College governance structure, with the Diversity Standing Committee being one of several committees contributing to the College Council. In 2019, the college established the Greenfield Community College Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
