Diversity supports the mission of Central Ohio Technical College
and The Ohio State University at Newark. Respecting and promoting
diversity is vital to the education of our students and to the
learning environment of our campus community. We foster an
atmosphere where each of us is valued for our intellectual and
cultural perspectives, increasing our ability to reflect
critically and resolve challenges. We share a wealth of
experiences that strengthens us individually and as a society. As
students and educators, we commit to building a diverse and
engaged community.
In today’s environment, diversity and inclusion permeates, and is
the responsibility of all areas of the institutions. All
departments and offices are expected to promote and develop an
awareness of and sensitivity to multicultural and diversity
issues in order to enrich the educational and work experience for
our students and employees.
As institutions, we value mutual respect and diversity by
building relationships that acknowledge the essential dignity of
each individual and by valuing all races, genders, cultures,
backgrounds, lifestyles and abilities, and we are committed to
creating and sustaining an intellectually stimulating environment
for our collective growth.
