Professional Learning Committee

The Professional Learning Committee is a standing committee of the Citrus College Steering Committee.

Purpose Statement
The purpose of the committee is to support the institution's employees with coordinated and sustained professional learning opportunities aligned with the college's mission and institutional goals. These opportunities are regularly evaluated for effectiveness in promoting equitable student success practices and in meeting institutional and employee needs.

The Professional Learning Committee, with the support of the diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility+ (DEIA+) office, strives to be the central hub for all training and development on campus.
