Patty Hartshorn, NTC admissions representative, said the April 1 event was an opportunity to grow as a campus community. After a morning meet and greet and continental breakfast, Paasewe offered a workshop for students, faculty and staff.

Paasewe defines code-switching as “the practice of adjusting one’s style of speech, appearance, behavior and expression to a particular context or situation.”
