iversity on campus is like opening a door – creating a wider view while enriching what’s inside. Just as important, it makes students and staff from all backgrounds feel like they belong at our colleges. Stretched along the banks of the Mississippi River, with a geographic area reaching more than 120 miles from north to south and multiple learning sites, Eastern Iowa Community Colleges features a vibrant combination of urban and rural environments. This creates an incredible diversity of ages, ethnic backgrounds, experiences and cultures among our students and the communities we serve – enriching our learning environments and the opportunities we can offer our students. Our enrollment data reflects we are the most diverse community college in the state of Iowa and we acknowledge diversity to be both a strength and a defining characteristic in providing a quality education.

Members of the EICC Diversity Council are charged with reviewing and making recommendations concerning college processes, programs, policies and activities in light of a commitment to create and sustain an academic environment that supports diversity in its many forms – including the diversity of perspective formed by diverse backgrounds, age, ethnicity, socio-economic class, race, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, education and culture.
