MCRPA Digest March 2025

As we move into March, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had so far this year. MCRPA has been thriving, with a perfect balance of professional development, social engagement, and meaningful community-building. It’s amazing to see how much we’ve already accomplished together!

From the start of the academic year, we’ve embraced our theme, Community Starts Here, and have built opportunities for connection across the college. We strengthened our Super Staff Tuesday and Faculty First Friday offerings, growing our reach and encouraging more faculty and staff to get involved.
