Passages
It is with great sadness that we inform the NSCC family of the passing of Willie Howell, a longtime employee in the Auxiliary Services department. Willie, who retired in
2012, will be fondly remembered by many for his smile and his jokes, his daily mail
visits, and his updates on what was going on at the College. Arrangements are TBD.

WINTER PANTO 2021: THE PANTO GAMES
(Boston Globe, March 12, 2021)
Written and directed by our own Performing Arts Coordinator, Matthew Woods!
The fringe theater company known as imaginary beasts moves its annual winter tradition online and delivers a family-friendly spin on the “Hunger Games” trilogy. In this version, according to press materials, “The evil Demon King Discord has devised a malevolent matchup in which panto stories must send tribute characters” such as Prince Siegfried, Calamity Dame, and Little Red Riding Hood to a “digital arena” to compete in the Panto Games. Featuring what are described as “fairy tales and fables with Vaudeville-style routines and cartoon-style capers,” it will be performed live online from actors’ homes. Written by Matthew Woods and Noah Simes, and directed by Woods. March 13-20. All tickets are “pay what you wish,” with no minimum. imaginarybeasts.eventbrite.com

Welcome to the
Equality & Equity Project
As part of our commitment to Anti-Racism, Diversity & Inclusion, the Equality & Equity Project will provide historical and present-day information about the contributions, challenges,
culture, and daily lives of the many vital groups that make up our NSCC community,
and the larger world.
We invite you to visit often, reflect on what you see and read, discuss it with others and, hopefully, expand your knowledge base, appreciation, and understanding of groups beyond your own.
March Deep Dive:
The events of January 6, 2021, rattled the nation to its core. The extreme ideologies that led to the insurrection at the Capitol are reflective of radicalized ideological and theological perspectives that are evident in larger society and on college campuses. Within this context, this video will examine the viewpoints and historical perspectives that led to the events of January 6th. The speakers will also offer recommendations for college and university leaders on how to advocate for justice and reconciliation on our campuses and in our nation. Presented by Cora Learning. Featuring: Luke J.Wood, Lasana Hotep & Frank Harris III (1:26:00)
Think About This:
This is an example of white privilege: I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race. I can talk with my mouth full and not have people put this down to my color.
