NMC Celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Black History Month

In honor of King's legacy, NMC is holding its fourth campus-wide commemorative event, Embrace the Dream, from January 13 through February, 2025. NMC students, employees and the broader community have the opportunity to take part in many learning activities and volunteer opportunities throughout the event. Please check back often as new events are added to the calendar below.

Calendar of Events

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)
