Welcome to the English Department at Cabrillo College.

The Cabrillo College English Department is committed to achieving educational quality and equity for all students. We support our college's value of equity and uphold a commitment to cultivate an inclusive teaching and learning environment by providing equitable support, access, and opportunities for success, emphasizing socio-economically disadvantaged, historically underrepresented, and emerging student populations. We are a community with a collaborative and professional culture that values excellent, innovative teaching, inclusion, support, diversity, and growth. We engage with faculty across disciplines as well as classified staff, administration, students, and the community to help realize our College's vision of improving the world, one student at a time.
