Values

Opportunity: EVC defines opportunity as providing pathways to success in higher education regardless of students’ unique circumstances. 

Equity: EVC defines equity as continually creating conditions that allow historically marginalized and underrepresented students to reach their educational goals successfully, with the commitment to deepening our awareness of institutional barriers that impede students' success by intentionally reviewing, changing, and addressing our programs, procedures, and practices. 

Social Justice: EVC defines social justice as eliminating structural barriers and racial hierarchies to ensure fair access to resources and opportunities that create a sense of belonging where all can thrive.
