At Clovis Community College we value the ability to serve students from a broad range of cultural heritages, socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, abilities and orientations. We prioritize applicants who demonstrate they understand the benefits a diverse student population brings to a community college. The successful faculty member will be an equity-minded individual committed to student success by collaborating with faculty, classified staff, administration, students and community partners who are also dedicated to closing equity gaps.

An equity-minded individual is a person who:

• Understands the importance of holding ourselves accountable as educators for closing equity gaps and engaging in equitable practices;
• Reframes inequities as a problem of practice and views the elimination of inequities as an individual and collective responsibility;
• Encourages positive race-consciousness and embraces human difference;
• Reflects on institutional and teaching practices and aims to create a culturally responsive teaching environment; and
• Strategically builds buy-in and participation among colleagues for equity-related initiatives.

Clovis Community College seeks faculty members who value mentorship and working in a collegial, collaborative environment, guided by a commitment to helping all students achieve their educational goals. Divisions strongly encourage collaboration across disciplines to create inclusive, integrated, and interdisciplinary learning experiences. Clovis Community College faculty are expected to be knowledgeable about, and willing to use, different learning and teaching methods appropriate to the students they serve.

Faculty members should be open and willing to participate in culturally relevant professional development that will help them prepare for the population of students who attend Clovis Community College.
