CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN HONORS 2019 NCHC Annual Conference November 6-10, 2019 • New Orleans, LA • Sheraton New Orleans NATIONAL COLLEGIATE HONORS COUNCIL Welcome to the 54th Annual Conference of the National Collegiate Honors Council Greetings, Honors Colleagues: On behalf of the 2019 Conference Planning Committee, the Board of Directors, and the staff of the NCHC national headquarters, welcome to our 54th annual conference. We are very happy that you have taken this opportunity to learn, share, contribute, and grow with us as individuals and then extend this to not only your home institutions, but also to the larger realms of honors education and higher education. The conference topics of disruption and creativity are meant to challenge us to think, question, and act: all intrinsic to honors education globally. What better place to congregate and explore these concepts than New Orleans, a city that exemplifies them perfectly. With the diverse members of the honors community— students, faculty, administrators and administrative staff—the myriad of perspectives and experiences upon which we can draw, and the setting, we have something for everyone (from first-time attendees to veterans). Mindful that conference can be as exhausting as it is exhilarating (disruption and learning take energy!), we have added some opportunities to regain balance with networking receptions, Brain Breaks, morning yoga, and explorations of our amazing host city. We are excited that you have taken time from your busy schedules to spend the next few days with your extended honors family. We hope you enjoy the collegial atmosphere of our conference, make new friends, learn a great deal, and explore New Orleans. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

It is the responsibility of each member to ensure that the purposes and activities of NCHC events are consistent with that mission. NCHC is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that welcomes and celebrates all expressions of diversity and identity. In that same regard, NCHC does not tolerate nor approve of programs and actions that would encourage or celebrate hatred, violence, abusive behavior, religious intolerance, irresponsible or illicit drug and alcohol use, and the objectifica- tion of human beings. Code of Conduct NCHC is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Conference participants violating these expectations may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers. Harassment includes, but is not limited to: • Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion or any other aspect of personal identity. • Sexual images in public spaces • Deliberate intimidation, stalking or following • Harassing photography or recording • Sustained disruption of talks or other events • Inappropriate physical contact • Unwelcome sexual attention • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior Enforcement Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, conference organizers may take action to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This may include warning the offender to expulsion from the conference with no refund. Organizers will take action to address individual disruptions to the activities or those making the environment hostile for participants. Reporting If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible. We want you to be comfortable and respected as part of NCHC’s events. You can make a report by contacting an NCHC staff member, located at the Info Desk. Staff will ensure you are safe and cannot be overheard. They may involve other event organizers to ensure that your report is managed properly. Telling your story may be uncomfortable, but your privacy will be respected. You can bring someone to support you. You won’t be asked to confront anyone and we won’t tell anyone who you are, unless actionable allegations are made. We value your attendance and your well-being. The NCHC team will be happy to assist you to feel safe for the duration of the event. APPENDICES ADA Accommodations The Americans with Disabilities Act gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employ- ment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications.
