Glossary of MCC Terms Used in Strategic Planning Materials

Diversity: The differences that makes each of us unique. This includes individuals from all racial and ethnic identities, ages, nationalities, social and economic status, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, religious, political, and ideological perspectives, and physical and mental abilities.

Equity: Seeks to ensure fair treatment, equality of opportunity, and fairness in access to information and resources for all. We believe this is only possible in an environment built on respect and dignity. We aim to meet each student’s unique needs so that all students have an equal opportunity to success.

Underrepresented: For the purposes of MCC’s 2022-2026 strategic plan, underrepresented students includes students of color, first-generation students, and financially-challenged students.

DEI Training: For the purposes of MCC’s 2022-2026 strategic plan, DEI training refers to Implicit Bias, Inclusive Workforce, Microaggression, and other training facilitated by MCC’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
