Diversity and Inclusion
At NTCC, we work diligently to understand the world around us by embracing different beliefs, cultures, experiences and perspectives. Our Diversity and Inclusion efforts are centered around fostering a college climate that is welcoming and open to new ideas that challenge and motivate us to be more connected to our community. We also collaborate with local business partners and community leaders to ensure that we continue to work collaboratively and think critically about the social disparities that are present in the communities that we serve.
Outcomes and Goals:
The NTCC Diversity and Inclusion Committee has established the following outcomes and goals for the 2021-2022 academic year:
- Campus Climate and Belonging: Building an inclusive college environment in terms of campus climate and sense of belonging
- Diversity and Representation: Ensuring a diverse and representative college faculty, staff, and students based on our service area
- Student Achievement & Support: Addressing equitable achievement across student populations and providing need-based support
- Cultural Consciousness: Increasing cultural consciousness for all members of the NTCC community

The NTCC Expression Series was sparked out of the desire to celebrate diversity through artistic expression. The first installment of the series was held in March 2021 and will occur once each semester. Students, faculty, staff and alumni are encouraged to showcase their talents though spoken word, poetry, artwork, and/or musical expression in this series.
