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.
