Learning to appreciate each other was the premise behind the recent Diversity Week events held on the third week of April. Quinsigamond Community College, in partnership with the Diversity Caucus, Pride Alliance, student clubs and departments hosted a series of weeklong events that included a Block Party and culminated with a food festival held on the Fuller Student Center lawn.
Rainbow Day, a day devoted to the celebration of the LQBTQIA community, which showcased an art gallery, poetry slam, an open forum, a presentation by transgender activist, musician and artist, Skylar Kergil, and a dance party culminated the festivities. There were also a variety of other activities throughout the week, as well as a student and faculty Diversity Panel where those in attendance could discussed topics of interest.
