State of Core Values

At EICC, our values guide our mission, vision, and professional standards. We believe demonstrating a commitment to values requires continuous reflection, and we will hold ourselves accountable to practice these values at our institution.

DISCOVERY - We believe learning is an ongoing process of discovery and achieving academic excellence depends upon the exchange of ideas, the ability to ask questions, constructive feedback, and academic freedom.

SOCIAL JUSTICE - We seek to foster social justice in the communities we serve and to make our campuses accessible and inclusive, with equitable resources and opportunities for all.

BELONGING - We work to create spaces where each individual feels safe and welcome, and where everyone can thrive and flourish.

COLLABORATION - We are committed to building dynamic relationships that lead to meaningful communication and informed decision-making that considers and values the diverse perspectives of students, faculty, staff, and our community.

CARETAKING - We recognize all resources have limits, and we commit to sustainable stewardship of our colleges and communities, our bodies and minds, and our environment.
