It welcomes nominations of, and applications from, members of protected groups including minorities, women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, as well as others who would bring additional perspectives to the university’s mission.

One of Queensborough Community College’s greatest strengths, and a necessary element of excellence, is the diversity of our community. We strive to attract and nurture a talented and diverse faculty and staff that reflect the local Queens community, the most diverse county in the United States.

At QCC, we value our inclusive climate because we know that diversity in experiences and perspectives is vital to advancing innovation and critical thinking, solving complex problems, and creating an inclusive academic community. As a Hispanic and minority-serving institution, we translate these values into action by seeking individuals who have experience and expertise working with diverse students, colleagues, and constituencies. Because we seek a workforce with a wide range of perspectives and experiences, we provide equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or genetic information.

We welcome those who will help us advance our Inclusive Excellence initiatives aimed at nurturing a community that values student, staff, and faculty engagement in activities that operationalize the college's commitment to equity and inclusivity.
