In a lot of ways, open educational resources, or OER, exist to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Accessibility and affordability issues in education disproportionately affect marginalized groups. Our mission as an OER provider is to make education attainable for any and every person, so we must ensure that all students can see themselves in our materials, and avoid misrepresentation. The instructors who adopt our resources and the people who advocate for the use of OER are working to provide their students with a fair chance at reaching their educational goals. - OpenStax

In the spirit of healing, Red Rocks Community College acknowledges and honors the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Kiowa and Ute Tribes, recognizing that the land occupied by RRCC is located in the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of these Indigenous peoples. We also acknowledge and honor the forty-eight known tribal nations that have lived, traded and traveled this land throughout history. RRCC recognizes the significant contribution of Indigenous cultures in our State, within our communities and within the land on which we are privileged to gather, live, learn, and work today. We recognize the vital importance of honoring these beginnings and the dedication and importance of Indigenous voices who courageously bring the truth of our history as a state.
