Durham College strives to foster and sustain an environment of inclusiveness that empowers everyone on campus to achieve their highest potential without fear of prejudice or bias. Durham College's growing number of international students adds a rich cultural texture to our campus community. 

Students connect with various cultures and communities through campus events and almost 70 student clubs, faith-based groups and other campus events. Throughout the year, various popular events include Abilities Week, Black History Month, Faith Mosaic, Pangaea: United Nations Cultural Show and the Positive Space Campaign.

Students may be...
  • Introduced to new cultures and diverse communities
  • Adopting values different from those taught at home
Family members can offer support by...
  • Encouraging attitudes of tolerance and inclusiveness
  • Encouraging students to expand their interests and learn more about other cultures, religions and ideas by participating in new activities
