BACKGROUND

The Coast Community College District encompasses three Colleges - Coastline Community College (CCC), Golden West College (GWC), and Orange Coast College (OCC) - that are connected by an unwavering commitment to equitable outcomes; inclusive practices; and rich racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity. Ideal candidates for all positions in our District share our devotion to educating and improving the lives of our representative student, employee, and community populations.

CCC is an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI), and GWC is an officially designated Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). The Colleges engage in regular professional development opportunities and partnerships so that we can best serve disproportionately impacted groups. Activities and connections include GWC's partnership with USC's Center for Urban Education; student and employee involvement in organizations like Puente and Umoja; a robust District Ally training program, including UndocuAlly (undocumented students), SafeZone (LGBTQ), Vet Net (veterans), and Ability Ally; a Peace Studies/Social Justice program; and a full calendar of culturally responsive events.
