Cambridge College will continue remote teaching through Spring 2021 term. The health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and community are important to us. Please see our updates regarding COVID-19 protocols and campus plans.
For fifty years our commitment to social justice and inclusion has been the bedrock of our mission and purpose. We believe that Cambridge College has contributed to helping to create a more equitable and inclusive world, but more work is still needed. We envision a society that promotes the health, wellbeing, and empowerment of all peoples. We recognize that particular attention needs to be paid to oppressed groups, those most affected by institutional racism and an economic system that prioritizes the profits of a few over the wellbeing of many.
Together we will continue to stand against the systemic racism and inequities that pervades black and brown communities in social, health, education, and workforce development and will strive for the liberation of all.
Under the leadership of the Office of the President and with guidance from our inaugural Equity & Inclusion Committee, Cambridge College will create and implement a series of events, discussions and resources to educate and inform our community about systemic racism, social and economic inequities and related concepts to heal our communities and the world.
