We are thrilled to announce QCC Employee Appreciation Week, March 3–7! This is our time to celebrate YOU and all the hard work, dedication, and kindness you bring to our QCC community. We have an exciting week of activities planned, so mark your calendars and get ready to have some fun!
Acts of Kindness Challenge
Hosted by Institutional Communications
Monday - Friday (March 3 - March 7) participate in our Acts of Kindness Challenge for a chance to earn amazing prizes, including WooSox tickets, QCC swag, snacks, and more! It’s your chance to spread positivity and earn points for acts of kindness you complete throughout the week (big or small!). Track your points using a score card, and at the end of the week, bring your score card to pick up your well-deserved prizes on Friday. Let’s fill the week with kindness and make it one to remember! (Score cards can be picked up at the Service Awards Recognition Ceremony or at the President's Office.)
