The Diverse Writing Center
Highline is the most diverse college in Washington State, and our Writing Center reflects that wonderful diversity. We value and appreciate it, but we also need to be mindful and aware of how we can support people who are different from us.
This section needs a lot of expansion! If you have resources for how to support diverse populations, please email the director.
