The Partners for Progress Gala is a gathering of business, community, and civic leaders as well as our friends, faculty and students in celebration of the power of education to change lives, strengthen our local communities and provide the workforce of tomorrow. All funds raised through the Gala will benefit Queensborough Community College (QCC). Scholarships will be awarded to students so they can access, attend and complete a degree at QCC, giving them an extra edge to find a career and earn a living wage. Funds will also be used to enrich the student learning experience by supporting Faculty Development, the Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives (KHRCA), the QCC Art Gallery and the Queensborough Performing Arts Center (QPAC).
