Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice (DEIJ)

At Oakland Community College, we prepare our students to be contributors to the larger world as global citizens. Toward that end, we foster a campus community that is inclusive—for students, faculty and staff, independent of appearance or how they began life or where they came from. What matters is that they are here. And we are here for them. For you:

Empowered


Experience DEIJ at OCC

  • Diversity: Embrace different backgrounds and perspectives. 
  • Equity: Provide tailored support, allocate resources fairly, and empower individuals to achieve their potential.
  • Inclusion: Foster a sense of belonging and participation.
  • Justice: Challenge systemic inequalities and advocate for meaningful change.

As part of that community—indeed, our world—Oakland Community College strives to be more than an advocate of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. More than a practitioner. We strive to be a champion—and, by extension, to create a community of champions. Including you.

Thank you for all you do every day to make our community a better place for everyone.

Quote from Peter ProvenzanoMessage from the Chancellor

“Across the country, we are living in a time of continued uncertainty—as well as optimism, tremendous hope for health and healing, and an opportunity for change. I am so proud of our entire OCC community as we make a difference by listening, learning and empowering our students, and each other, with an unwavering commitment to these core values.” — Peter Provenzano, Chancellor, Oakland Community College
