Alexandria Technical and Community College is committed to an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment as expressed in the ATCC EDI Strategic Plan. We understand that creating an equitable, diverse and inclusive campus community is the responsibility of every employee of the college. Leadership, faculty, and staff strive to address inequities within our system by examining programming, policies, facilities, and operations that create barriers to student success in and out of the classroom. By actively working to address inequities, we will foster students who will successfully participate in their community and within today’s dynamic, global workforce.
