The NCBI team at NSCC - Continued
counselors and staff in Student Life
to offer Listening Sessions at our
Danvers and Lynn Campuses. We
are currently working on a plan to
support students during the inauguration
and first 100 days process.
NSCC is very lucky to have
Dale Capristo as our support
person for our NCBI leadership
team. Monthly meetings with
Dale have helped us to keep focused
on the work of NCBI and
move that work forward at the
College. We are also grateful to
have had the support of Robert
Dungey, the former Director of
NCBI’s campus program, for two
decades.
At North Shore, we look forward
to continuing our NCBI
work, now more important than
ever, as we move forward from
“Healing into Action”.

NCBI’s team at the University of
Alaska, Anchorage.
“We have discovered,
through overwhelmingly
positive feedback submitted
by workshop attendees, that
this method better reflects
our comprehensive and
collaborative nature as a
team.”
Over the past twelve months,
the University of Alaska, Anchorage
(UAA) NCBI Team successfully
recruited and trained five new
colleagues (via two Train-the-
Trainer Workshops at North
Carolina State University in Raleigh,
North Carolina), thereby
substantially adding to our existing
twelve-member-strong team for a
current total of seventeen individuals.
As a collective group dedicated
to Social Inclusion and Equity,
we are proud to say that we offered
two full-day workshops (20
participants each) for UAA's
E m e r g i n g S t u d e n t L e a d e r s
(February 2016) and for all UAA
Student-Staff-Faculty Members
(October 2016). We have revolutionized
our co-leadership approach
into a tri-leadership model
for day-long workshops, and we
have discovered (through over-
whelmingly positive feedback submitted
by workshop attendees)
that this method better reflects
our comprehensive and collaborative
nature as a team.
Over the course of the entire
year, fourteen NCBI Modules
were delivered during Howl Days-
-UAA New Student Orientation
Sessions--exposing hundreds of
students to our Diversity Mission.
Two important NCBI Listening
Tables regarding pressing Alaskan
issues were offered during February
2016: "Arms on Campus" and
"University Re-structuring." In
addition, several members visited
selected GUIDANCE 150 class
sessions, providing NCBI Modules
to students acclimating to their
first semester within a university
system.
Finally, our UAA Team closed
the calendar year by offering an
NCBI Holiday Social (December
2016) in which we reunited with a
total of twelve October 2016
workshop participants who still
wish to maintain close contact
with our entire Campus Affiliate
as "NCBI Allies." We send good
cheer from Alaska to all NCBI
members across the nation, and
we look forward to sharing the
results of our next all-inclusive
Student-Staff-Faculty workshop in
preparation for February 2017!"-
