We strive to create an inclusive environment where every student feels supported and
valued. This mission is especially critical for underrepresented student populations,
who often face additional challenges completing their educational goals.
Research highlights the vital role staff and employees play in strengthening student
connectedness. Together, we aim to:
- Improve student services
- Provide excellent customer service
- Create a positive campus environment
- Boost student retention
- Increase registration rates
- Foster connections across departments and the college
Through the Caring Campus Initiative, Mission College is committed to helping students
navigate their educational journeys successfully.
