Description

We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment through competency training, personal growth support, restorative communication, and diverse recruitment and retention strategies. We offer displays, collections, programs, and research assistance that address the diverse needs and identities of our patrons from the LCC community and beyond. Our team meets monthly during the fall, spring, and summer semesters to continue advancing these initiatives. 

Charge

  1. Participate in and promote ongoing DEIA training throughout the College and across diverse platforms. 

  1. Plan programming for the College and community. 

  1. Assess and make suggestions for Library collections.  

  1. Support accessible access to resources and information in our physical and virtual environments. 

  1. Engage in equitable, inclusive, and proactive practices in recruiting, hiring, retaining, and advancing library staff. 

Communication

We invite all staff to attend DEIA Team meetings. The agenda for each meeting will be sent via email in advance. Team members rotate meeting facilitation and note-taking. Key takeaways will be posted on WebEx within a week, and agendas and meeting notes will be accessible on SharePoint.
