CBC is committed to our vision to be the educational home that transforms students' lives through economic and social mobility.

We center equity in all that we do and seek to attract and retain engaged individuals committed to helping all students be successful in accomplishing their goals.

CBC places a high value on the ability to communicate effectively across cultures, to implement culturally responsive teaching strategies, and to model intercultural empathy. Experience in serving Hispanic students is not merely a preference—it is valued at Columbia Basin College. Advanced intercultural knowledge and skills among our faculty are essential to the success of our students and our institution as a whole.
