To emphasize the importance of diversity in education and our lives, Northampton Community College strives to:

Provide equal opportunity and access to education, and to recruit and retain a student body, faculty and staff which are representative of our community.

Promote a campus climate where tolerance, respect, and appreciation for differences are priorities and where individuals of diverse backgrounds peacefully co-exist, free from the consequences of prejudice and bigotry.

Integrate multicultural and diverse perspectives appropriately throughout the curricula.

Ensure that services, organizational structures, and institutional policies address the needs of our diverse constituencies.

Northampton Community College is committed to educating individuals of all backgrounds who can strengthen the economic and social infrastructure of our nation and the world.

The College community is united in the condemnation of acts of hatred and intolerance.
