GEC Mission Statement:

The Lane Community College Gender Equity Center exists for students, staff, and faculty and focuses on supporting an inclusive campus environment where all genders and sexual identities are valued and supported. We promote the exploration of the social construction of gender and how gender intersects with race, ethnicity, class, sex, sexual orientation, ability, age, nationality, and belief systems. The Gender Equity Center operates from a foundation of Brave Dialogue where all ideas rooted in inquiry and learning are welcome.
