What Hocking College Stands For

Our Mission 

Mission Statement

The mission of Hocking College is as follows: "We serve as a pathway to prosperity, teaching and inspiring all who seek to learn, growing careers and changing lives."

Commitment to Diversity

Our mission is immeasurably enriched by the students, faculty and staff who bring diverse experiences and backgrounds to our campus. We believe that diversity comes in many flavors, not just those typically considered--race, religion, color, age, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, physical challenge, or marital status--but also in thought, political persuasion, physicality, and spirituality.

Hocking College is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where the individual differences among us are understood, respected, recognized as a source of strength, and valued as qualities that enrich the environment in which we work.

Hocking College believes that diversity is a matter of institutional integrity and plays an integral role in educational excellence. Students learn better in a diverse educational environment, and are better prepared to become active participants in our pluralistic global society.

Our institutional commitment to diversity is made visible through celebration, through opportunities for introspection, and through artistic expression. It is a commitment that never ends, an open and ongoing dedication to creating an environment within which all individuals feel safe, valued and welcomed.

Hocking College expects the members of our campus community to promote this vision as fully and conscientiously as possible.
