The Diversity and Equity Center
The Diversity and Equity Center is a welcoming, equitable, and inclusive environment that promotes strong social connections and encourages students to be social change agents. We strive to serve students of color, immigrants/refugees, undocumented, underrepresented, and LGBTQI+QTPOC, and help them towards success at Cascadia College.

LGBTQ College Resources
Attending college can be difficult, but lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning students may have an even harder time than others. The following guide was created to help LGBTQ students understand how many campuses are helping to make the college experience more welcoming and supportive. Use this guide for various on-campus and online resources.
