NODA Multicultural Network Phenomenal Professional

The Multicultural Network seeks to recognize individuals that support and serve students and/or professional staff of diverse backgrounds within the orientation, transition, and retention field, train students and/or staff on topics around diversity, inclusion, and social justice, and create, encourage, or implement programs and/or initiatives that support services for students that identify as underrepresented. It is our hope that highlighting these professionals will encourage orientation, transition, and retention professionals to build inclusive environments and engage with professionals that are producing positive, diverse, and inclusive work.

Multicultural Network Roundtable & Post-Conference Connection

We are really excited that NODA has not only reserved space for our roundtable, but also for a post-conference opportunity. For these opportunities, the Multicultural Network will host a panel discussion for the roundtable and a small group discussion for the Post-Conference Connection. This panel will provide members an opportunity to ask questions and hear from their peers regarding their experiences as a professional of color as well as issues surrounding diversity and inclusion within orientation, transition, and retention and that the small group discussions will bring some panelists back to serve as facilitators for a small group discussion post conference. As the need for community grows, it is our hope that the Multicultural Network will become a safe-space and home for our professionals of color to dialogue, share resources, and support one another!
