This year, Clark College’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI)is partnering with the Southwest Washington Equity Coalition (SWEC) and their Advancing Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (AREDI)  learning series. The relationship between Clark College and SWEC has been in existence since SWEC’s formation in 2016.

This partnership represents the generative collaboration and intentional fostering of community that are at the heart of the equity and justice work we care about. As we reach across organizational and systems level walls, we embody the reality of partnership and collaboration within our broader communities, and we engage each other as teachers, students, friends, and partners in this work.
