The Queensborough Mosaic Fund

Queensborough's 2021-2026 Strategic Plan includes Cultivating a Community of Care as one of its three overarching goals. The goal includes a commitment to creating a campus climate that is respectful, affirming, and inclusive. In support of this commitment, the college has established the Queensborough Mosaic Fund.  

The Mosaic Fund provides financial resources for faculty and staff to host college-wide events that explore, uplift, and celebrate specific cultures, groupings of cultures, and/or gender identities.
