Identity-Based Resources
The Boucher Career Education Center (BCEC) upholds Saint Michael鈥檚 College鈥檚 commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Each of us at the College carries an obligation to ensure all students, faculty and staff encounter a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment.
In line with that commitment, here in the BCEC we strive to ensure that our processes, policies, and behaviors support and encourage diversity and meet the needs of all individuals that come to the Center, especially those from historically underrepresented and marginalized groups. We embrace Saint Michael鈥檚 vision of inclusion and diversity not only racial and ethnic identities but also gender, age, religion, language, ability/disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, military service, geographic origin and first generation/multi generation college experiences.
