NMC Celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Black History Month
In honor of King's legacy, NMC held its third campus-wide commemorative event, Embrace the Dream, from January 15 through February 29, 2024. NMC students, employees and the broader community had the opportunity to take part in many learning activities and volunteer opportunities throughout the event.
In addition, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging learning events take place throughout the year.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., most famous for his leadership during the civil rights movement and his “I have a dream” speech, once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?" Join us as we learn more about diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging through learning opportunities that share new perspectives.
NEW in 2024
As part of NMC's Strategic Plan and ongoing professional development, please take part in a meaningful learning opportunity of your choice. After, reflect on your experience (reading, event attendance, etc.). We want your feedback as we incorporate these learning experiences into our goals for 2024–2025.
How does it work?
- Identify an area related to DEI that you want to learn more about.
- Choose one of these learning opportunities (or create your own) to participate in for your development.
- Reflect on your learning (using this form) and share it within your area.
- Record your reflections in your performance review summary at the end of the spring semester.
Opportunities will be posted on the Embrace the Dream calendar and on this list: DEIB Learning Opportunities. Feel free to add to this list so others can participate too! (#Calendar of Events tab - scheduled events or #General Activities tab - non date bound activities)
