Equity Action Plan

Lansing Community College is built on an ideal of equality. It was founded in 1957 with the ambition to teach anyone who wanted to learn. Our vision statement - "serving the learning needs of a changing community" – reflects that aim. We are here to serve our community, to welcome everyone, to help all students achieve their goal.

However, we know it is not enough to welcome everyone. Equality is not equity. We have to meet students where they are, to provide them with wraparound supports to help them in and out of the classroom, and to model the same diversity in our workforce that we see in our student body. LCC has taken numerous steps to enhance diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the past several years. DEI is an expression of how well we value, engage and include the rich diversity of our community, including our students, faculty, staff, alumni and surrounding community members.
