Out @ BC
Out @ BC is a campaign that heightens the visibility of LGBTQIA+ identified faculty, staff, and administrators. This list was created to promote LGBTQIA+ inclusion, foster a campus culture in which everyone feels valued, establish a sense of community, and signal to LGBTQIA+ Bakersfield College students that they have representation and support within the faculty, staff, and administration.
This list is not exhaustive and does not include every member of the LGBTQIA+ community here at the Home of the Renegades. We understand that there are many obstacles that prevent people from being “out” and open about their identity. It is our desire that list serve as a constant reminder that all LGBTQIA+ people deserve to live in a world where they feel comfortable being open about their identities.
