Join EvCC’s first Equity Tenure-Track Faculty Cluster

Dear Prospective Faculty Members, 

I am writing to encourage you to consider Everett Community College for your professional career and to explain why I believe this cluster hire of new faculty is so vital. I am acutely aware of the barriers faced by faculty, students and staff of color, and I urge you to join me in an institution wide effort to dismantle those barriers.  

As one of only 32 colleges nationwide named an Achieving the Dream Leader College, you’d join a team of educators with a remarkable record of student success and equity work. We are proud of those accomplishments, but we’re working now on our next wildly important goal: closing equity gaps. 

Critical equity work happens inside the classroom, which is why we’re looking for eight new tenure-track faculty members to join our first cross-disciplinary equity hiring cluster. These faculty tenure-track faculty members will receive additional support, mentoring and professional development.

This cluster hire is an important opportunity for the EvCC to continue to act on our values and the goals established in our Strategic Plan, “Charting a Path Forward to Equity.” The plan includes hiring and retaining faculty with the skills and experience to meet the needs of EvCC student communities, especially those disproportionately impacted by systemic racism.

Beyond building the institutional capacity to support BIPOC learners, we believe that a quality education for all students demands exposure to faculty who bring a range of experiences and identities to the classroom, who are grounded in multiple ways of knowing, and who are committed to social justice and antiracist pedagogies.  

Thank you for considering EvCC.

Sincerely, 
Dr. Darrell L. Cain
Interim President

Providing Equity and Access in Community and Technical Colleges

Everett Community College is  grateful to the Washington State Legislature for their formal recognition of the differential impact of diverse faculty on BIPOC student success as outlined in Senate Bill 5194, which has provided the funding for this cluster initiative.  

We also want to acknowledge the leadership of our SBCTC peer institution, Pierce College, in prioritizing and publicizing cluster hires in support of BIPOC students.
