Vision
SJECCD is the premier post-secondary education institution in our region for advancing opportunity, equity, and social justice through educational excellence.
These are the guiding principles of the San José-Evergreen Community College District.
Student Success is the heart of our mission and we've hired the best and brightest faculty and staff to ensure that our students are well prepared when they transfer to a university, enter the workforce, or embark on a path of lifelong learning.
The San José-Evergreen Community College District (SJECCD) Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity Plan (Plan) was first adopted by the governing board on December 10, 2013, followed by the three-year updated version adopted on May 9, 2017. This updated version was approved by the governing board on June 9, 2020.
The Plan reflects the District’s commitment to equal employment opportunity and diversity. It is the District’s belief that taking active and vigorous steps to ensure equal employment opportunity and creating a working and academic environment, which is welcoming to all, will foster diversity and promote excellence.
Furthermore, it is the obligation of the San José-Evergreen Community College District to promote cultural, racial, and human understanding within the community it serves as well as within its sphere of influence.
