°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ Community College is committed to creating an equitable, inclusive, and transformative learning environment, a college community that respects and celebrates the diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences of the °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ community. We strive to build a learning community of mutual respect, belonging, and understanding. We recognize that such a community allows people to realize their full potential. When students, faculty, and staff meet in a college environment where diversity, inclusion, respect, and social justice predominate, we all learn, we all grow, and we all feel that we belong.

°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ wishes to acknowledge that the Wellesley, Framingham, and Ashland campuses sit on land that the European colonists appropriated from the Nipmuc, Massa-adchu-es-et (Massachusetts), and Pawtucket tribes.

°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ cannot change the past, but what we can do is honor the land, the ancestors, and the indigenous traditions as we at °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ use this sacred land as a communal place to nurture learners to move forward and make a more inclusive world.
