The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is
committed to the creation of a more welcoming,
inclusive and supportive environment based on
knowledge, acceptance and respect for all at
Green River College. The office works to promote
intellectual discourse, leadership and social
justice among students, staff, faculty and our
surrounding communities. ODEI is home to the
Commencement Achievement Program (CAP),
which helps students navigate the college system
to ensure their successful graduation.
CAP is also the designated program for all
Washington Achievers and Passport to College
students.
ODEI provides opportunities for students to plan
events and programs during Hispanic Heritage
Month (Sept. 15), Disability Awareness Month
(October), American Indian Heritage Month
(November) Black History Month (February),
Women’s History Month (March), Pacific Islander
Heritage Month (May), Asian American Month

The Commencement Achievement Program’s
Peer Navigator program is an opportunity for
students to gain valuable leadership skills,
increase their understanding of diversity and
mentor fellow students.
Peer Navigators help “navigate” their peers
into and through college –– locating financial
resources, registering for classes and getting
involved on campus. Peer Navigators also
gain valuable work experience, participate
in enriching training and development
opportunities, and work closely with the
college’s diversity-affiliated clubs on
programs and events.
