LACCD Mission Statement The mission of the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD, or District) is to provide our students with an excellent education that prepares them to transfer to four-year institutions, successfully complete workforce development programs designed to meet local and statewide needs, and pursue opportunities for lifelong learning and civic engagement. LACCD Vision Statement The LACCD will strive to become a national leader in student success by providing high quality, accessible, educational opportunities across the greater Los Angeles area that change students' lives, enrich the area's many diverse cultures, and strengthen the regional economy. The District will do so continuing to provide a culture of continuous improvement and by closing persistent equity gaps. Core Values The Los Angeles Community College District's core values reflect how we will pursue our plan as well as how we will fulfil our mission and realize our vision. We - the faculty, staff, administrators, and students of the LACCD hold the following values essential to achieving our District's mission: Access & Opportunity: We are committed to maximizing educational opportunity and access to everyone who has the desire to learn, and we actively engage all students, including those from communities that have traditionally been underserved by higher education or who require special accommodation or support. Excellence & Innovation: In all of our services and institutional activities, we strive to create a culture of excellence and continuous improvement through the use of innovative pedagogy and technologies that challenge our students, faculty, staff and administrators to meet the highest educational and professional standards. Student Learning & Success: All of our institutional efforts and resources are dedicated to one central purpose-the support of all students as they work toward the achievement of their academic and career goals. Free Inquiry: We value the vigorous, critical and free exchange of ideas and opinions, and we work actively to create communities of mutual respect and shared concern that support and sustain open debate and constructive, democratic discourse. The Power of Diversity: As a group of nine urban and suburban colleges situated in the midst of different communities, we draw upon and embrace diversity as an integral aspect of our civic and institutional identity and as a powerful element in the education and development of every individual.
