Affiliating yourself with your institution

If you are not the director of your program, or you do not hold a current NCHC Institutional or Professional Membership, and/or have not attended an NCHC program in the past year, you may not be in our new software system yet!

You must sign up as a "Contact" prior to registering for any NCHC program. 

Sign up as a Contact!

Be sure to select “Contact” when creating a username for our website. If your institution has an Institutional Membership, signing up as a "Contact" will affiliate you with your institution, and you'll be able to register for the online event, and make use of the NCHC community forums. If you sign up for any membership aside from "Contact," you will be asked to pay for that membership fee.

You'll receive an email notification, and THEN you may start registration for the intended online event.

(If your institution is not a member of NCHC, please proceed as a "Guest.")

Questions? Contact the NCHC office at (402) 472-9150 or nchc@unl.edu.

With the cancellation of projects for 2020 and 2021, the NCHC Partners in the Parks Committee wants to ensure that we create alternatives to projects to continue to foster these meaningful collaborations with NPS to benefit students from NCHC member institutions. From undergraduate student to institutional administration, all with an interest in adventure are welcome to join for these monthly meetings.

Join us in discovering a sense of wilderness off the literal beaten path. The cypress dome appears so out of reach, and yet, with courage, and a short walk, experience the most wonderous (and empowering) hike in the Everglades. A virtual slog through the slough takes you to a magical cypress dome filled with wildlife – owls, alligators, snakes - and the majestic (prehistoric like) flora that rises like a natural cathedral in the swamp. Witness examples of the amazing adaptability of the land to the weather and the season. Prepare yourself for the virtual experience, consider yourself part of the experience, see yourself there (or anywhere) in our national park system now and in the future as a participant in an NCHC Partners in the Parks Project.

Facilitator

Kathleen King | Hillsborough Community College

Kathleen was sold on the idea of Partners in the Parks when she first heard Partners in the Parks described by founder, Joan Digby. As Dr. Digby explains in, PARTNERS IN THE PARKS Field Guide to an Experiential Program in the National Parks “…the immediate purpose of Partners in the Parks is bringing together member institutions of NCHC in a student/faculty program to educate, to engage, and to urge stewardship of these special places (2010, p.21).” Kathleen coordinated her first project in 2008, ultimately hosting a total of seven projects, 4 for students and 3 retreats for directors in Acadia, Rocky Mountains, Great Smoky Mountains, and Everglades. Kathleen has served as Director of the Dr. Lydia R. Daniel Honors Program, at Hillsborough Community College, Tampa, Florida for seven years.
