Students of Color Coalition
The SCC brings together BIPOC students from all across the state to create a powerful voice for students. We use our voices to advocate for increased diversity, equity and inclusion within the higher education system. The SCC is free to join and open to all students who self identify as BIPOC and are attending one of our member campuses!
2021 Legislative Victories
Just talking about issues is not enough - we believe in real, tangible results. That’s why our 150,000+ members mobilized around our legislative agenda and passed over 10 bills during the 2021 legislative session aimed at making Washington’s higher education system more inclusive, equitable, and affordable.
