The Chasing Equity series empowers participants to understand how anti-oppressive practices are embedded in the selection process. The series shares the evidence-based practices that are guiding the process redevelopment work currently being done in HR to make the search and selection process more equitable and inclusive, as well as where the next phase of these efforts lie. To sign up for future Chasing Equity training sessions please visit Excel at CC.  

As part of our commitment to being an antiracist institution, Megan Nicklaus, Ersaleen Hope, and Ginger Jurecka Blake are collaborating to offer the Chasing Equity training series. Megan and Ersaleen initially developed the pilot version of this series last spring, and their work enabled meaningful changes towards greater access and equity in the talent acquisition processes we use.

Winter weather is coming, and we want to make sure our campus community is prepared and safe. As a residential college, CC does not close, even in severe weather. Preparing for winter weather can reduce unnecessary risks while meeting the needs of our students. CC has a severe weather policy to guide attendance and expectations in these situations.  If you need to stay home for a non-CC weather closure that affects your dependent(s), please speak to your supervisor about using sick leave or vacation leave for this purpose.
