Equity Week: Calling for Proposals
Equity Week at MC will be April 15–19, 2024! We anticipate another successful week and invite students and employees from the MC community to submit proposals related to the theme, “Understanding Belonging and Mattering.”
The Equity Week Committee is looking for proposals that offer innovative education, activities, and workshops to help the MC community better understand and express what belonging and mattering mean—to and for us—individually and collectively. Sessions should be geared toward helping individuals develop and apply personal and professional practices that help build an inclusive and equitable environment for all and help each of us identify ways we can contribute to cultivating and fostering a culture and climate of belonging and mattering for all at Montgomery College.
