"Education is right and a privilege---if give one hope as
the great equalizer. As a first generation college graduate,
I know access (to education) provides opportunities for
personal transformation, professional growth and upward
mobility. Working at Highline for a decade, an institution
that values diversity has been the most rewarding personal
and professional experience. I take great pride in being a
member of the Highline Community---it's a special place."

power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all

The following is an excerpt from Bell Hooks'
Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom: "The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created. The classroom, with all its limitations, remains a location of possibility. In that field of possibility we have the opportunity to labor for freedom, to demand of ourselves and our comrades an openness of mind and heart that allows us to face reality even as we collectively imagine ways to move beyond boundaries, to transgress. This is education as the practice of freedom." |

"We need to give
each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise
our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we
may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas,
openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion."~Max De Pree |

distinct elements or qualities. Diversity seeks to transcend
