NVC Caring Campus

The Caring Campus Initiative, developed by the Institute for Evidence-Based Change (IEBC), is designed to create a college environment that increases students’ sense of connectedness and belonging and, in turn, completion of each student’s education goals.

The Caring Campus Initiative engages NVC employees to create a Caring Campus that ensures they are deeply involved in student success initiatives. It is particularly important for students from historically underserved populations, students less familiar with college, non-majority students, students from low-income households, and first-generation students to feel welcome and that they belong in college.
