News and Events
If March felt like it flew by in a blur of professional development, community engagement, and conferences—you are not alone! This month was full of incredible moments, and I’m so proud of how our MCRPA community showed up, showed out, and supported one another through it all.
We experienced an amazing Staff Enrichment Day, where colleagues from across the college gathered for learning, connection, and growth. We celebrated member Thanh King for earning the prestigious Peggy Bebee Distinguished Staff Award. We helped our communities through Mobile Market volunteering, got moving with the Walking Movement Challenge, laughed together at the Friends of the Library Comedy Fundraiser, and even rounded things out with some bold performances at Karaoke Night. If you hit that high note—whether literally or metaphorically—congratulations!
