Pride Inclusion Training

The Pride Inclusion Training was created to ensure that every member of the MiraCosta College community has access to high quality information to aid in the support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual [LGBTQIA+] students, faculty, and staff. The training, open to every MiraCosta community member, aims to increase awareness and understanding of LGBTQIA+ issues and to train those outside of this community to advocate for LGBTQIA+ people. The training also works to support the college’s efforts to promote an accepting, supportive, and diverse learning environment for all members of the campus community. Itwas created by LGBTQIA+ Equity Staff members India Pierce and Jordan Sanchez, it launched in March 2021. It could not have been completed without the support of numerous students, staff, and faculty members who provided invaluable feedback.
