Inspire and Engage Through Inclusive Education

To effectively engage community college students in the learning process, future instructors must be inclusive, inter-culturally competent, and able to integrate diversity, equity, and multiculturalism into their curricular content and teaching style.

This program aims to connect equity minded faculty at NOCCCD to mentor and inspire future instructors in selected fields for Spring 2024 semester. This program will offer stipends and additional resources for participants. The goal is to close the opportunity gap and foster the growth of the next generation of community college faculty.

In this week-long seminar, the faculty cohort will engage in cooperative learning and discussions designed to assist them in developing material on diversity, equity, and inclusion that can be integrated into their course content and/or teaching approach.

Join faculty members throughout the District and our three campuses, Cypress College, Fullerton College, and North Orange Continuing Education (NOCE) as we explore and learn about the research, graduate, and post-doc work that Faculty members have completed within various issues facing higher education.

The Scholarly Symposium is an opportunity for full-time and part-time faculty to present and share their research to peers and higher education communities as a whole. The presentations can be from various types of research, including:

• Dissertations
• Sabbaticals
• Practicums
• Post-doctorate work
• Publications
