Multi-Cultural
Education
As an open-access public institution that serves a multicultural population
of students from a diverse community, the employees and students at Mitchell
Community College must strive continually to examine and improve our
policies and practices to be more inclusive. Adopting the principles of
multicultural education is an ideal way to achieve that aim. According to
George Mason University professor Paul Gorski, "Multicultural education is a
progressive approach for transforming education that holistically critiques
and addresses current shortcomings, failings, and discriminatory practices
in education. It is grounded in ideals of social justice, education equity,
and a dedication to facilitating educational experiences in which all
students reach their full potential as learners and as socially aware and
active beings, locally, nationally, and globally. Multicultural education
acknowledges that schools are essential to laying the foundation for the
transformation of society and the elimination of oppression and injustice."

Make
A "Health" Drawer
Your filing spaces are your friends. Most cubes have lots of little drawers.
Make one of them a "health" drawer. Add a Ziploc bag or two with healthy
non-perishable snacks in it (maybe dried veggies), a few bags of herbal,
non-caffeinated tea (switch over from coffee midday to help you sleep better
at night), and a travel-size hand-sanitizing gel for use regularly when
there’s a cold going around the office (did you know most colds are
transmitted through shared objects like doorknobs?) A decorative canvas bag
can store an extra pair of athletic shoes in case you can take a 10 minute
walk or stretch break over lunch.

Foundations
of Invitational Education
Invitational theory maintains that the best way to maximize human potential
is for people to create and maintain places, policies, processes, and
programs that promote it. Policies refer to the procedures and
rules (written or unwritten) used to regulate individuals and organizations.
Policies, like places, convey values and expectations. They need to be known
(i.e. transparent), administered evenly (i.e. fairly), and focus on positive
reinforcement that says we care rather than negative that says we really
don’t. —Submitted by Employee

A decision will be made by 6.a.m.
for day classes and by 3 p.m. for evening classes.
means classes will not meet during the time of the delay. Students
and faculty will resume a regular schedule at the time announced
that the College will open. Example:
In the case of a two-hour delay, ALL classes and activities will
resume at 10 a.m.)
Classes Canceled
means there are no classes for students. Employees are expected to
report to work or take annual leave.
College Closed
means neither students nor employees are expected to report to the
College.
The College will determine how canceled classes will
make up the work. Students, faculty and staff must assume
responsibility for deciding if weather conditions are too hazardous
to permit safe driving on public roads. Safety and good judgment are
required in each individual case.
