DIVERSITY: National Coalition Building Institute
The following post from Judith Kamber, NECC was copied from our Open Forum comments section. It seemed to merit a blog entry of its own so it has been posted below:
A year ago NECC became an affiliate of NCBI. NCBI is an International Organization that promotes tolerance and diversity and provides training in the NCBI model. We were assisted in this effort by NSCC(North Shore Community College). They have successfully used the model for years. We have a team of faculty and staff who have bee trained in NCBI and since September we have been busy providing workshops for staff and students. What I particularly like about this model is that it is ongoing, can be provided in hours or days if available. It has also been an amazing community building experience for the NCBI team. For more information you can visit www.ncbi.org We also have our own NCBI site on our web site. I'd be happy to discuss this in greater detail for those who are interested.
