Creating and nurturing a diverse campus is a central goal in Bellingham Technical College’s mission of delivering superior professional technical education for today’s needs and tomorrow’s opportunities. Engaging with and learning to honor a range of perspectives and backgrounds is of paramount importance to the College and in keeping with the spirit that is BTC.
At all times, BTC strives to create an egalitarian environment in which students, faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in the life of the campus free from harassment and discrimination. Ranging in age from 16 to 60+, our student body is comprised of more than 20 ethnic backgrounds, plus single parents, veterans, adults wanting new careers, immigrants, GED, ESL and first-time college students. Regardless of motivation, all seek an education with the common goal of enriching their own lives and that of their communities.
BTC encourages diversity on our campus by welcoming, respecting, and supporting people of every ethnicity, nationality, culture, gender, age, sexual orientation, religious belief, physical ability, and socioeconomic background.
- President Patricia McKeown
