WHAT ADVISORS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE NCC
The National Communication Coordinator (NCC) is the main link between the member school and the "NACURH network" of residence hall organizations across the country. It is only through the effectiveness of the NCC that the school's residence hall organization may enjoy the benefits of NACURH and your school’s regional affiliate.
There are many vital responsibilities that come with the job. NACURH is only as strong as each NCC. The whole idea behind the organization is the improvement of the college or university residential living environment, and only through the sharing of schools' programs and ideas can we accomplish this goal. The NCC is needed to share your school's uniqueness with the rest of the region and nation.
As an advisor, a strong understanding of the responsibilities of being an NCC can help you to advise them regarding the workings of the organization. Students are highly transitional—much more than advisors at times. You can help to maintain the continuity of your school within the realm of NACURH and your regional affiliate.
