Chabot College is committed to educational equity in its academic programs and college services so that students may achieve their personal, educational, and career goals. Our equity work today builds upon a strong history: the Puente and Umoja (formerly Daraja) learning communities, now models which have been replicated across the state, were created at Chabot College. These programs have paved the way for a series of additional educational and student support programs intentionally focused on equity that thrive at Chabot College today. Chabot College is located in Hayward, California, the third most diverse city in the United States. We serve a highly diverse student population and are proud to be designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution. Information about the demographics of our campus community can be found on our Instititutional Research webpage.

Serving our diverse community requires a culturally responsive approach that recognizes the myriad strengths and assets that our students bring to the campus community. We do so by promoting a classroom and co-curricular learning environment that is inclusive, collaborative, engaging, and challenging, and where respect, dignity, and integrity are core values. We see students as producers of knowledge, not just consumers of knowledge. We work to reframe inequities as a problem of practice and view the elimination of inequities as an individual and institutional responsibility. 

Chabot College in Hayward, CA is located in the epicenter of the dynamic Bay. The college sits on a 94-acre parcel that was once home to a farm. From the shoreline to the hills, Hayward is known as the “Heart of the Bay” and the campus enjoys a rich history and a strong connection to its vibrant community.

Chabot College’s total student headcount is approximately 17,500. The College offers curriculum for students seeking career and technical preparation, transfer to a four-year college or university, or personal enrichment and basic skills. The Chabot College community is supported through Friends of Chabot Foundation, which attracts resources in support of student success through philanthropic investment in scholarships, endowments, bequests and annual gifts.
