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.

Help in the fight against breast cancer and ALS
Hello NSCC colleagues, I am reaching out because I want to make an impact in the fight against breast cancer and ALS. To that end, I have committed to doing annual fundraising and walks. I walk in memoriam and for survivors. This year will be my 8th year walking, to raise funds and to support more research for cures. I hope that you can join me in providing real-time help to those facing and fighting these devastating diseases.
You can make a donation online by clicking the button above my fundraising thermometer.
Thank you for helping me as I raise money in support of ending breast cancer forever
and finding a cure for ALS.
