Women’s and Family Support Services

For more than half a century, NCC has provided resources and support services to women within the campus community.  Challenges and opportunities faced by female students, faculty and staff members can place demands on individuals that impact their personal and professional lives.

Recognizing that the services that NCC offers can provide helpful solutions, the Women’s Caucus has developed an easily-accessible online directory of available resources for women at the college. If you are aware of any other current resources that are available to women through NCC that could be added to the directory, please contact the caucus members at womens_caucus@northampton.edu.
