United States Congressman, Illinois. In Focus Butte College selected There There by Tommy Orange as the Book in Common for the 2021-2022 academic year. The book in common is a shared community read designed to promote discussion and understanding of important issues. It is chosen each year by a group of Butte College and California State University, Chico faculty and staff, as well as members of the local community. The book details the plight of an urban Native American grappling with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality, with communion and sacrifice and heroism. Orange is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma and was born and raised in Oakland. Events and resources will be available throughout the year. "And don't make the mistake of calling us resilient. To not have been destroyed, not have given up, to have survived, is no badge of honor. Would you call an attempted murder victim resilient?" --Tommy Orange, There There **Resources for Antiracists are available at the Butte College Library Anti-Racist Reading List *California Community College Chancellor’s Office “Call to Action” Webinar MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Diversity, equity and inclusion are cornerstones of Butte College’s identity. We welcome and support students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds and those with diverse histories and identities. We hope you will find your place here and the resources on this site will help facilitate that process. Central to the work we do is the recognition that a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is a commitment to justice. We live in a country with a history of separation and exclusion in education. The work ahead of us is to right that wrong not only by inviting in those who have historically been left out, but also by providing the education and support needed for everyone to succeed. This is our commitment at Butte College. This is my commitment as your president. Dr. Samia Yaqub Butte College President Events More Loading Events...
