About Our DEIB Efforts

Programs and activities include:
- Sharing Series
- Guest Speakers
- Multicultural Student Organization (MSO)
- Book Club
- Podcast
Diversity Committee
The Diversity Committee meets monthly to ensure progress is being made toward meeting the strategic goals as proposed to the Council of Postsecondary Education. These items detail the efforts we at BSCTC are making to provide an equitable education for all: including under-represented minority students and low-income students.
