fall leaf iconThe Center for Instructional Excellence and the Professional Development Institute are pleased to share our program for the 9th annual NMC October Conference 2024, “Creating a Caring and Connected Community.”  This year’s sessions highlight diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, neurodiversity and disability support, and student success. Our keynote speaker, Dr. Javon Brame from Campus Works, will speak on “Creating a Campus of Care: Strategies for Inclusive and Resilient Communities.”

We are especially fortunate to have a number of community members joining us as panelists and presenters this year, connecting us to the caring community beyond our campus boundaries. As always, we appreciate the many staff and faculty members who have stepped up to present.

October Conference is NMC’s full-day professional development opportunity for faculty and staff. Classes are canceled and most offices are closed in order to allow you to connect with all of your colleagues and learn about important topics that impact our work. Attendance is required for all regular faculty and staff. Adjunct faculty are encouraged to join us. Supplemental staff should check with their supervisors.

We look forward to this day of collaboration, connection, and learning. If you have questions about the day, please contact Lori Hodek at lhodek@nmc.edu or (231) 995-1143 or Janet Lively at jlively@nmc.edu or (231) 995-1231.
