Since most of us won't be working on campus and dressing up for Halloween this year, we'll celebrate the holiday by sharing photos from the past of some of our costumed colleagues.  Also, for those of you who used to bring your wee ghosts and goblins to the children's Halloween party on the Lynn Campus, check out these past Halloween party albums and see if you can spot your now-not-so-little ones.

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.

Think About This...
 In 2019, advocates tracked at least 27 deaths of at least transgender or gender non-conforming people in the U.S. due to fatal violence, the majority of whom were Black transgender women.
