Sharing news regarding the passing of retiree Raymond Blomme - Announcements, July 3, 2024

This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Elaine Popp, President, Durham College.

Dear colleagues,

I am sad to share the news of the passing of our former colleague, Raymond (Ray) Blomme.

Ray began his career with Durham College (DC) in 1974 teaching photography in the Faculty of Media, Art and Design, where he remained until his retirement in 1998. He was an award-winning photographer and music lover who enjoyed participating in DC talent shows and playing the piano at Employee Appreciation events. After his retirement, he remained very involved in the Durham College Retirees' Association and was a member of its executive for many years.

Ray will be remembered for his kind and gentle nature and sense of humour.

Please join me in keeping his family – including his son, Daniel Blomme, a faculty member in the Faculty of Social and Community Services – and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time.

As always, support to our DC community during times of loss is available. If you need counsellor services or support, TELUS Health (formerly LifeWorks) services can be accessed anytime by phone at 1-844-880-9142 or TTY Service at 1-877-338-0275 or at https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.workhealthlife.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C2e8e5f4d078a462dc0ef08dc9ab01494%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638555328275406667%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mqjhsuwSkQejo3yzA%2Fq4zZb2eQAmLxleUE%2BlC6xGUdw%3D&reserved=0<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.workhealthlife.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C2e8e5f4d078a462dc0ef08dc9ab01494%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638555328275411912%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=rYmS%2BaDYndDmg5K%2BcF5P1MoJ2yTm0KP66tNOitSroks%3D&reserved=0>.

This message is being shared on behalf of Barry Waite, Executive Dean, Faculty of Media, Art & Design.

After 24 years, Tony Sutherland, Faculty Member in the Music Business Management program (MBM) in the Faculty of Media, Art & Design, will retire from Durham College (DC) on August 30.

Tony's career at Durham College is distinguished by his pioneering initiatives and continuous efforts to enhance the educational experience. As Program Coordinator for six years, Tony launched the three-year Advanced Diploma in the MBM program, maintaining its over-subscribed status through innovative curriculum and leadership. He coordinated educational field-trips to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland), Motown Museum (Detroit), The Apollo Theatre and Madison Square Garden (New York City), music venues in Ireland and the JUNO Awards in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Tony has fostered and maintained crucial field placement relationships with music companies across Canada. These partnerships have been instrumental in providing practical experience and securing employment for hundreds of students.

One of his most significant achievements was founding and coordinating Oshawa Music Week, a music summit and festival. It has provided a consistent source of entertainment, community growth and music education on campus and in the region. He founded The OMAs, an annual award show celebrating music in the Durham Region. He also initiated the DC campus radio station, Riot Radio (formerly branded The FreQ), providing a platform for students to engage with and broadcast music.

Details on Tony's retirement celebration will be shared at a later date. Anyone wishing to contribute to a retirement gift may contact Alanna Desaillier at Alanna.Desaillier@Durhamcollege.ca<mailto:Alanna.Desaillier@Durhamcollege.ca>.

Please join me in thanking Tony for his years of service to Durham College, and in sending him best wishes for the future.

Durham College Recognizes Centre for Success and Adult Dual Credit Students at Their Annual Completion Ceremony

On June 20, 2024, surrounded by proud family members, friends, representatives from School-College-Work-Initiative and partnering district school boards celebrated the Completion of Durham College's (DC) Centre for Success (CFS) and Adult Dual Credit (ADC) programs during a special ceremony at the Oshawa Campus. The CFS program is aimed at secondary school students who have the potential to succeed but are at risk of not graduating. The ADC is geared at adults that are working towards completing their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) at their local school board continuing education sites.

As part of DC's School-College-Work-Initiative (SCWI), the programs are funded by the Ministry of Education and are focused on supporting students to complete their high school academic requirements in a college setting. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in post-secondary courses, earning dual credits that count towards both their high school diploma and their post-secondary diploma. Students may earn at least one and potentially more college credits during their time in their programs, facilitating a seamless transaction to college and/or appenticiship programs.

Initially launched as pilot projects, both programs have experienced growth, with enrollment this year over 300 students in the CFS and over 100 students in the ADC's. The programs are a collaborative effort between DC and three school boards: Durham District School Board, Durham Catholic District School Board and Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic School Board.

Congratulations to our graduates of the 2023-2024 school year and thank you to the SCWI team who help in making these programs happen!

There is still time to double your impact to the Student Experience Fund - Announcements, June 28, 2024

This message is being sent on behalf of Linda Flynn, Associate Vice-President, Advancement and Alumni Relations. Please direct any inquiries to Adrianna Hajdari, Development Officer – Operations.

Last week, Durham College (DC) celebrated one of its largest graduating classes in its history during Spring Convocation. Nearly 5,000 graduates crossed the stage at convocation, bringing the skills and experience they've gained during their time at DC to help fill labour shortage gaps and create success for themselves and their communities.

As DC employees, we know access to expert faculty, work-integrated learning opportunities and industry-standard and emerging tools and technology have played a big role in their experience at DC.

Our donors help ensure current and future graduates continue to meet the needs of an evolving labour market by helping fund vital resources available to students. If you are considering a gift to the Student Experience Fund (SEF), there are two easy ways to become a donor:

* Right now, the Durham College Alumni Association (DCAA) is matching funds to the SEF, up to $10,000. Double the impact of your one-time gift by making a donation online<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fssp.mycampus.ca%2Fapex%2Ff%3Fp%3D320%3A50&data=05%7C02%7C%7C81e71be15492445d075e08dc952ff513%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638549280438599749%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TQ96aq1AFVff%2B5%2FK24z9lSlBUPkVyBDOYQeLrtV1UYo%3D&reserved=0> before July 1.

* At anytime you can also participate in the Payday Lottery<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdurhamcollege.ca%2Fnew-notable%2Fpay-day-lottery-funds-new-equipment-for-durham-college&data=05%7C02%7C%7C81e71be15492445d075e08dc952ff513%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638549280438604470%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=NGECqibn1FkXx1pkDltqewZzHG3fmpc6dkR6e7bCjEs%3D&reserved=0> or make monthly contributions through payroll deductions<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fssp.mycampus.ca%2Fapex%2Ff%3Fp%3D320%3A300&data=05%7C02%7C%7C81e71be15492445d075e08dc952ff513%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638549280438609528%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mw1myag2IkKurgX3g8eesi11e8xkqEqbz43%2BEHFPRhs%3D&reserved=0>.

The SEF is used to meet the college's greatest priorities. A donation to the SEF will not only help purchase new cutting-edge tools and technology, but also maintain and increase the number of training stations available to students. Charitable donation receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more to the SEF.

Future-Focused: Launching our Strategic Planning Process - Announcements, June 28, 2024

This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Elaine Popp, President.

Dear colleagues,

As I shared in my earlier message</Lists/Announcements/DispForm.aspx?ID=5150&Source=https%3a//ice.durhamcollege.ca/Pages/Default.aspx&ContentTypeId=0x010400E2DBD1BB4B546E4892D8749E71815F73>, it has been a remarkable week at Durham College (DC), celebrating career-ready graduates at Convocation. Watching our students proudly cross the stage to receive their credentials is an invaluable reminder of the power and importance of our efforts.

For the past five years, our work has been guided by our current Strategic Plan, which ensured we remained focused on our commitment to serve our students, employees, and communities. Now, as we complete this plan in March, we are preparing to develop our next Strategic Plan, which will launch in spring 2025.

This planning process is an opportunity to shape the future of DC and is a collaborative effort requiring input from students, employees, alumni, donors and community partners. Together, we will consider how student and industry needs have changed, how we as an organization have evolved and how the landscape of higher education has shifted. The result will be a roadmap for tangible goals and objectives that will inform decision-making and resource allocation and will guide our efforts leading DC to even greater heights.

The creation of DC's new Strategic Plan will involve the collaboration of several teams. The Strategic Plan Steering Committee, consisting of Executive Leadership Team members, will ultimately oversee the project. A Strategic Plan Working Group with broad cross-college representation will guide the planning process, including facilitating consultation activities. They will work closely with two other groups: an external partner – The Potential Group – who will provide guidance on strategic planning methodology, as well as a Strategic Plan Resource Team who will provide institutional support.

This work will take place over the next several months and include four phases:

* Phase 1 (July to September) – scoping, planning and setting initial direction, including a comprehensive environmental scan.

* Phase 2 (October to December) – engaging our community and gathering insights through focused consultations, interviews and surveys.

* Phase 3 (January to March) – refining the feedback through interactive, small-group sessions with key contributors, including students, employees, alumni, donors and community partners.

* Phase 4 (April to May) – developing the final Strategic Plan, which will be launched at our all-employee event in May.

As initial planning and preparatory work progresses over the summer, we will provide an update on activities, roll out the Strategic Planning microsite and share information about the fall consultations and opportunities you will have to share your voice in this process.

This is a pivotal time for DC as we set the direction for our future. I am excited to collaborate with all of you as we move forward in building a sustainable, future-proof, equity-driven, people-focused and community-connected college.

Looking ahead with excitement,

Elaine

Reminder: Upcoming retirement celebration for Tracey Thate - Manager, Campus Stores Thursday June 27 - Announcements, June 28, 2024

This message is being shared on behalf of Amanda Blenkhorn, Director, Ancillary Services.

Reminder: Upcoming retirement celebration for Tracey Thate

To honour Tracey, a drop-in celebration will be held on Thursday, June 27 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the DC Community Boardroom (A144) at the Oshawa campus. If you wish to contribute to a retirement gift, please contact Amanda Blenkhorn (amanda.blenkhorn@durhamcollege.ca<mailto:amanda.blenkhorn@durhamcollege.ca>).

We welcome you to post a retirement wish for Tracey<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kudoboard.com%2Fboards%2FaGvpwJvo&data=05%7C02%7C%7C81e71be15492445d075e08dc952ff513%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638549280438624196%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=yCBkGxK%2B7FdAEbxC0TI2COlJ54PYdf0wVn0TIde%2BjmE%3D&reserved=0>.

It is with mixed emotions that I announce the retirement of Tracey Thate, Manager, Campus Stores, effective June 27, 2024.

Tracey recently celebrated five years of service at Durham College, though she has previously established roots at DC as a former graduate and working in the Athletics department from 1989 to 1992 while obtaining her BComm (Hons) degree from Toronto Metropolitan University. Following a number of external positions, Tracey returned to DC in 2018, joining the Campus Store as well as holding roles in the Print Shop, ICT Infrastructure and Whitby Campus Store. She was promoted to Campus Store Supervisor in 2020 and Manager in 2023.

While leading the Campus Store team, Tracey made a significant impact to the overall operation and sustainability of both stores while navigating a variety of retail changes in staffing and disruptions during and after the pandemic. She has made numerous contributions that have positively impacted overall revenue stability. Her incredible work ethic and dedication to providing students with excellent support and customer service will truly be missed.

Microsoft 365 (M365) email migration to Exchange Online - Announcements, June 20, 2024

This message is being sent on behalf of IT Services. Please direct any questions to servicedesk@durhamcollege.ca.

Durham College (DC) is migrating employee email currently hosted on-premises to DC's Microsoft 365 (M365) cloud. Moving email to DC's cloud will position employees for improved collaboration, additional functionality within M365, and better integration across M365 services. Employee mailboxes have started migrating to DC's cloud in June 2024.

Migrations will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week, starting in the early evening and will be completed overnight. This weekly cycle will continue until all durhamcollege.ca mailboxes have been migrated to the DC cloud.

A few days prior to migration, users whose mailboxes are scheduled to migrate will receive an email communication with their migration date, including additional information to help them prepare for the migration, what to expect during and immediately after the migration, and guidance on where to get assistance if they have email issues after the migration.

For awareness:

* File Attachment Limit: Attachments sent outside of the organization are limited to 25 MB max size.

* Email Cleanup: Recommendation is to delete all messages that are no longer required. Check for messages in the 'Deleted Items' and 'Junk Mail' folders.

* Global Address List: The Global Address List will only show users from Durham College, not employees from Ontario Tech.

* Functionality Differences: At this time, until email for all users is in the cloud, some functions will behave differently:

* Emails via distribution lists will come marked with the prefix "ONPREM_DL-".

* Out-of-office autoreply must be set for both internal and external recipients.

* If the out-of-office is set only for internal recipients, DC users who have not migrated will not receive the autoreply.

* Note: Ontario Tech colleagues will be external recipients after your mailbox has migrated to the cloud.

* Emails received from external users will be marked with two banners indicating the email sender is from outside the organization.

* Authorized Mobile Clients: Only Microsoft Outlook mobile client for iOS / Android or Apple Mail are authorized for mobile clients (smartphones).

* Shared Mailboxes: Shared mailboxes have been converted to true shared mailboxes, with a few exceptions.

* Shared mailboxes with full permissions will appear automatically.

* Shared mailboxes without full permissions will need to be added manually in the Outlook full client.

* Note: Until the shared mailboxes have all been migrated to the DC Cloud, the shared mailboxes can only be accessed via the Outlook full client and cannot be accessed via the Outlook Web Access (OWA) web interface.

All employees should continue to keep login credentials private. IT Services will never ask you for your password. If you forget your password, or exceed the maximum number of failed login attempts, passwords can be reset using the self-service portal at https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.durhamcollege.ca%2Freset&data=05%7C02%7C%7C006a68da85a547ea016908dc8fafd839%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638543232686632144%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=x19ai02DPcLXicuCBEKY4gEvpaJ3nAXi9MnMSsKK%2FOY%3D&reserved=0 In the event you require assistance with the Microsoft Authenticator app, IT Service Desk is available for support.

DC celebrates the Presidential Installation of Dr. Elaine Popp - Announcements, June 20, 2024

This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Gail Johnson Morris, Chair, Board of Governors.

It is my honour to announce the official installation of Durham College (DC) President Dr. Elaine Popp, the college's sixth President.

The installation ceremony took place today during DC's first Convocation ceremony and formally acknowledged Dr. Popp's role and responsibilities as President as well as provided an opportunity for her to deliver the Oath of Office directly to the community she serves.

Since becoming President on March 1, Dr. Popp has been guided by her clear vision of DC through five key themes: a sustainable, future-proof, people-focused, equity-driven and community-connected college. This focus will help ensure DC meets the needs of today's students with innovative programs that fulfill industry needs, while also continuing to contribute to our local and global communities.

I look forward to witnessing DC's growth under Dr. Popp's leadership as we continue to transform education and foster an environment where students continue to learn, grow and thrive.

Congratulations, Dr. Elaine Popp on this incredible milestone!

Announcing upcoming retirement of Donna Pegg, Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences - Announcements, June 20, 2024

This message is being shared on behalf of Gillian Dunn, Associate Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences

After over 30 years of being a professor in the dental programs at Durham College (DC), Donna Pegg will retire on June 30, 2024.

Donna's dream was to teach dental students at DC. After graduating as a dental hygienist, she taught part time in 1989 at night school and her transition to full-time teaching in 1991 was seamless. She emphasized the importance of maintaining curiosity and staying relevant, weaving innovation into the curriculum. As the program coordinator for the Dental Office Administration program, Donna has continuously strived to enhance and elevate the program while remaining responsive to the field's evolving needs. Her unwavering devotion to the college and students has always been evident.

Donna is extremely grateful for the opportunities, continuous learning and accomplishments she has achieved over the years. She took pride in striking a delicate balance between gentle guidance, technique, and empathy while educating students and caring for dental clients. Those of us who have known Donna and worked with her over our careers recognize that she has been a long-standing pillar in the dental programs. She is humble, quiet and kind, and has always exemplified tremendous dedication and commitment to exploring new and relevant methods for teaching and learning while connecting with and providing support to her students

As she retires, Donna intends to cherish the fond memories, wonderful colleagues and the joy of knowing she has shaped futures.

I am very pleased to announce that Tanya Wakelin is the successful incumbent for the position of Director, Teaching and Learning.

This message is being sent on behalf of IT Services. Please direct any questions to servicedesk@durhamcollege.ca<mailto:servicedesk@durhamcollege.ca>

Over the years, the digital footprint of our students and alumni has grown exponentially with a large volume of data in our system that is unsustainable for us as an organization for both technical and financial reasons.

Due to Microsoft's new terms for DC's Microsoft 365 (M365) contract, we are making changes to M365 access. These changes include storage limits for current students and well as access to M365 and the DC network for alumni.

The following changes will come into effect on August 1, 2024:

Currently enrolled students:

* DC student storage limits for current students will be 25 GB for DC Mail email, 500 GB for DC Mail OneDrive and 500 GB for MS Teams / SharePoint Sites.

* Students who need increased storage limits due to assignments and student work will be able to request additional space through their Student Advisor.

* Student M365 licenses and DC network credentials will expire 12 months after the last day of classes whether they graduate, withdraw or take a leave of absence.

Alumni:

* Alumni M365 licenses and DC network access will end 12 months after their last day of classes whether they graduate, withdraw or take a leave of absence.

* If it has been more than 12 months since their last day of classes, then their M365 licence and DC network credentials will expire on August 1, 2024.

Students can access the following services once they have graduated:

Heat Stress Awareness - Announcements, June 4, 2024

HEAT STRESS

It is important to help keep workers safe from heat stress and help them recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stress.

You may experience the following:

* Fatigue

* Light headedness

* Dizziness

* Blurry vision

* Trouble focusing

* Excessive sweating

How to prevent heat stress:

1. Wear cotton or other loose woven fabrics that wick moisture away from the skin.

2. Make water stations available for employees.

3. Train workers, supervisors and managers to recognize signs of heat stress.

4. Promote a healthy lifestyle. Fitness helps to reduce the need to over extert in order to perform tasks.

5. Review other risk factors for heat stress with workers. Understand that as we age, we are less able to get rid of heat as efficiently.

We have made significant progress in advancing Indigenization<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdurhamcollege.ca%2Fabout%2Fgovernance%2Findigenization-statement&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cd4124f4e24214a35a15508dc84af682d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638531136165389476%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=l3Py55wub2vSNOx0d8H4QDaQ376BzelHh39iNz%2F9Dwc%3D&reserved=0> across our campuses and in our community, and we acknowledge there is still much work to be done. We will continue to incorporate meaningful Indigenous perspectives and knowledge into our courses and programs, ensure our events and services are culturally respectful, offer professional development to employees, and identify opportunities to further prioritize Indigenous education across our campuses.

As we prepare students to become leaders and contributing members of our community, we have a responsibility to confront issues of decolonization and emphasize equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging. This commitment must permeate every facet of our institution and we all have a role to play.

I encourage every member of our community to actively engage in this work by utilizing the resources we have available. The DC Library has curated a collection<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FDClib-indigenous&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cd4124f4e24214a35a15508dc84af682d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638531136165393952%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=V3S7oMMfxKTNRgxhpJj4Ihsnlkv4n3DGcaXNEM5PzCw%3D&reserved=0> focused on Indigenous Peoples' knowledge, heritage, rights, and histories.

Additionally, you can reflect at the Naanaagide'endamowin Courtyard at the Oshawa campus and visit the Weeping Willow Tree that commemorates the Indigenous children who did not make it home from Indian Residential, Day and Industrial Schools.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey.

DC will remain a welcome place for Indigenous peoples as we work together to build a better future.

Celebrating the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community during Pride Month - Announcements, June 4, 2024

This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Elaine Popp, President.

Tomorrow, June 1, marks the beginning of Pride Month, an opportunity to celebrate our 2SLGBTQQIA+<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fwomen-gender-equality%2Ffree-to-be-me%2Fwhat-is-2slgbtqi-plus.html&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cd4124f4e24214a35a15508dc84af682d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638531136165407225%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ByuDWJN3LRrX%2BgNV2vwgDx%2FQsLpBjBEW2RSpU4nvP1U%3D&reserved=0> community members and promote acceptance, solidarity and inclusion among individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

I am proud of the respectful and welcoming community we have fostered at Durham College (DC). As we continue to focus on being an equity-driven college, we are uniquely positioned to emphasize equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging for our employees as we prepare students to become leaders and contributing members of our community. By embracing this responsibility, we can embed these ideals into the fabric of DC and evolve our work from a compliance mindset to a broader mandate to live our values.

It's also important to acknowledge that Pride Month serves as a reminder of the struggles and losses experienced by members of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community. This emphasizes the ongoing need to end biphobia, transphobia, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination and harassment.

As a visible demonstration of our commitment to support our 2SLGBTQQIA+ community, we will raise the Progress Pride Intersex Inclusive Flag tomorrow at both our campuses, for the month.

To support our community's continued learning, understanding and empathy for others, the DC Library has curated a collection of Pride Month resources<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Focul-it.primo.exlibrisgroup.com%2Fdiscovery%2FcollectionDiscovery%3Fvid%3D01OCUL_IT%3ADURHAM%26collectionId%3D81265789990005160%26lang%3Den&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cd4124f4e24214a35a15508dc84af682d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638531136165410721%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=yMXB8LJTWRSdalPVmf8xP1bjO%2B2tuoj24uoFv97ZnC8%3D&reserved=0>.
