NCC\u2019s Peace Conference: Exploring the American Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Honoring history, NCC brings speakers and panel together to discuss the American Experience.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

BETHLEHEM, PA<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Community members are invited to join Northampton Community College (NCC) for this year\u2019s Peace Conference held on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 on Bethlehem campus. The conference is presented as a part of NCC\u2019s 2025-26 Annual Humanities Program Theme, \u201cWe the People: Reflecting Back, Building Forward,\u201d in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. The theme this year builds upon NCC\u2019s original designation by the National Endowment for the Humanities as a \u201cWe the People\u201d institution, a distinction that placed the College among an elite group committed to strengthening the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture.<\/p>\n

On October 22, the conference will feature morning talks on various cultural experiences, and in the afternoon, attendees can enjoy lunch and a panel discussion featuring NCC\u2019s faculty and staff experience. In the evening, community members can head to ArtsQuest\u2019s Frank Banko Alehouse Cinema for a free screening of\u00a0The Harder They Fall<\/em>\u00a0with a foreword by NCC Professor Sol Levy.<\/p>\n

All events are free and open to the public, and lunch is included with a reservation. To see the full agenda and reserve your spot, visit\u00a0https:\/\/nccgo.cc\/peace<\/a>.<\/p>\n
