Highline Community College is a campus community committed to providing quality student service and education within an environment that celebrates cultural diversity and individual differences. Our goal is to support interpersonal and group relationships that go beyond mere civility and extends to celebrating and respecting diversity.

• A diverse faculty and staff provide a visible testimony to our commitment to each student regardless of their educational background or cultural experience.
• A diverse faculty and staff enhance a robust exchange of ideas, perspectives and experiences.
• A diverse faculty and staff better prepares each member of the campus community cross-culturally and globally.
