As summer wound down and the anticipation of a new academic year filled the air, QCC came together for an energetic kickball game that perfectly captured the excitement of new beginnings. The friendly competition brought colleagues from different departments onto the field, where laughter and cheers replaced the usual buzz of pre-semester preparations. Players and spectators alike enjoyed the chance to connect in a relaxed setting before diving into the busy fall semester ahead. It was a reminder that while we work hard to support our students and community, we also know how to have fun together. That spirit of collaboration and camaraderie will undoubtedly carry us through another successful year!
