Great Basin College values you!
This means that we at GBC value inclusion, which is the intentional practice of understanding differences, identifying processes that lead to inequities, developing strategies that lead to equity and inclusion and fostering a culture that promotes mutual respect for all members of the GBC learning community.
We at Great Basin College recognize that diversity embodies differences such as those we are born with, those we acquire, and those that are assigned to us. We also recognize and value what we have in common that brings us together as human beings worthy of respect and encouraged to speak our truths freely through civil discourse.
Valuing what we have in common and our differences means we will foster a college climate of mutual trust, tolerance, informed discourse and always seek to promote GBC as a “safe space” to explore new ideas and perspectives with opportunities for you to grow, learn and be successful.
