Student Equity Outreach Toolkit: Mt. SAC Library Student Equity Outreach FAQ

Why Equity Matters?

Equity is part of the Mt. San Antonio College campus culture. Documentation of our efforts shows Mt. SAC addressing equity concerns since the 1990s. Mt. SAC is committed to providing the same opportunities to all students through equity and student success initiatives. 

Mt. SAC Library upholds similar vision and practice by providing access to information and information competency teaching/advocacy. Library student equity activities are based on activities which promote access, learning, and success. Everyone is an active agent in providing equity support.
