Statement on Diversity

At NCC, we expect, and support, equity and inclusion in our educational programs, policies, campus life, employment, extracurricular activities and community involvement.
NCC is a college fiercely committed to addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a "college of the community", we are uniquely positioned to do this work. It’s not something we do on the side; it is core to our mission and values. Simply put, it is an educational imperative. We are a college that aspires to provide an environment where all our students, faculty, and staff can be honored and celebrated for being authentically themselves with all the rich diversity that brings. Yet, we know we still have work to do. With that in mind, our Board of Trustees unanimously passed the following statement of action that I wanted to share with you.
