The Women's Caucus highlights women's issues at the college and advocates for change and policies that will advance opportunities and achieve equity for individuals of all genders across the College.
Who We Are & What We Do
The caucus membership consists of faculty, staff, and administrators. Our work is focused on:
- analyzing and evaluating women’s experiences at NCC
- coordinating the celebration of women’s accomplishments and contributions to the college and our communities
- empowering women to express themselves and to make meaningful contributions to our workplace culture
- ensuring women are well represented wherever decisions are being made
- examining existing policies to see where systemic barriers to women exist and whose voices aren’t being heard
- supporting leadership development for women at NCC
