This year, employees have the opportunity to pilot NMC’s new DEIB professional development goal as part of the college’s strategic plan. The Educational Technology team was the first group to participate in the DEIB Professional Development Challenge! They volunteered for the Special Olympics to learn more about this diverse population, supporting DEIB learning and creating a sense of belonging in their department. Congratulations on being the first team to lead the way in this new DEIB learning strategy!

Join the challenge

How does it work?

  1. Identify an area related to DEI that you/your team want to learn more about.
  2. Choose a learning opportunity to participate in for your development.
  3. Reflect on your learning (using this form) and share it within your area.
  4. Record your reflections in your performance review summary at the end of the spring semester.

Want some ideas?

Check out the Embrace the Dream calendar or click on this list of DEIB Learning Opportunities. Feel free to add your ideas to this list to encourage others to participate too!

Use this form to reflect on your experience (reading or learning event/activity participation). Provide your feedback to influence how we incorporate these learning experiences into our goals for 2024–2025.

Thanks for participating in this pilot project, which will be incorporated into each of our goals for 2024-2025!
