Our faculty and staff are committed to serving diverse students with excellence. In 2007 Daley College students participated in the National Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) Survey. The surveys results showed that Daley College exceeded national benchmarks in the areas of:

One the major components of Educational and Personal Growth were our student's appreciation for diversity. Our students scored above the national average not only on Educational and Personal Growth as well as their ability to understanding people of other racial and ethnic groups.
