Who We Are
Located in the scenic Puget Sound area with Mount Rainier in the distance, Tacoma is the third largest city in Washington State with a thriving and diverse community of over 200,000 residents. Tacoma Community College (TCC) was built on the ancestral territory of Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Puyallup and Squaxin Island Tribes. We recognize the responsibility and privilege of utilizing this land and honor the resilience of the Puyallup and Squaxin Island people, who still live here and contribute greatly to the well-being of our community. TCC strives to become an anti-racist institution and to develop more culturally responsive curricula. We are committed to strengthening partnerships with diverse communities and supporting movements that promote equity and inclusion.
To grow our workforce, we are seeking creative, collaborative faculty who reflect the diverse community we serve. TCC is a public Associate- and Bachelor's-granting institution that serves a student body of approximately 12,000 students. Our students are 27% students of color, 60% female, and have a median age of 26. We emphasize that TCC is a community college, with faculty engaged in innovative work to improve student retention and program completion. We aim to improved support for traditionally marginalized populations, including Black/African-American, Indigenous, People of Color, Dreamers, justice-involved individuals, immigrants and refugees, Veterans, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQ+ community.
To this end, TCC seeks applicants who:
Value intellectual curiosity and innovative teaching
