December 2:
Bring A Friend to (Your) College!
Do you know a high school senior who is unsure, unable, or just not interested in attending college? Maybe someone in your life graduated from high school but never enrolled in or had the chance to experience college life?
Now is your chance to show off (your) college life! Invite them to join you at one of Queensborough’s free student club events or activities, and you’ll both be guaranteed to win big!
The Details
Bring a co-worker to a show at the Queensborough Performing Arts Center. Invite a sibling to attend a career-building workshop, job fair, or resume session! Show off the QCC Art Gallery, Virtual Nursing Hospital, or Advanced Manufacturing and 3D printing lab to your best friends! Maybe you want to bring a date to one of our championship athletic events? It’s all possible with our Bring A Friend to (Your) College program.
Best of all? It’s a WIN-WIN!
You will receive one raffle ticket for every guest you bring to campus, and each of your guests will also receive a raffle ticket. Best of all? Every ticket is a guaranteed winner! Prizes include Queensborough swag, daily Metrocards, Mets tickets and more. After attending one of the events, you and your guest will be contacted by the President’s Office about your entry into the raffle and when you can pick up your prize.
Register for one of these exciting events below and check back throughout the month as new events will be added weekly!
