Program Highlights
Center for Cultural & Inclusive Excellence
The Center for Cultural and Inclusive Excellence forms part of Highline College’s “The Center”, located on the 3rd floor in building 8. We offer learning outside of the classroom for students by students.
Our mission is to provide transformative leadership in creating a learning environment that is equitable, inclusive, and that celebrates all identities. In commitment to increasing social consciousness, the Center for Cultural & Inclusive Excellence educates through a diversity and social justice lens, empowers students as social change agents, and dismantles institutional oppression.
