The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion serves the students, faculty, and staff of Napa Valley College, with outreach to the communities of Napa County and its surrounding areas.

​

Our office works to create, strengthen, and sustain structures, policies, practices, and behaviors that:

• support a diverse campus population and culture,

• advance efforts to achieve equity in student educational outcomes and employee professional success, and

• foster a sense of inclusion and belonging for all members of the Napa Valley College community, while also actively dismantling structures that promote and maintain inequality and oppression.

​

We firmly believe that diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning and working environments where all cultures, identities, experiences, and worldviews are valued and welcomed lead to innovative, creative, and successful institutions that are healthy, nurturing, and highly productive. This, in turn, supports the development of more equitable, just, inclusive, and innovative societies poised to solve the challenges of this historical moment.
