Culture & Community

The purpose of the Culture & Community Engagement department is to provide overall leadership, accountability and vision to the Chemeketa community in creating and sustaining an environment that prioritizes the college mission and values.

Chemeketa aspires to be a place where everyone feels a sense of belonging and where many ways of being are honored. Everyone is unique and contributes to what makes Chemeketa a special place to work, learn, and grow.

The Office for Culture & Community Engagement provides overall leadership, accountability and vision to the Chemeketa community in creating and sustaining an environment that prioritizes our college values while upholding the access, opportunity, and justice mission of community colleges.

Here is how we do it:
