October has been a month full of connection, growth, and a little bit of spookiness! We had a fantastic time participating in ELITE’s First Faculty Fridays and Super Staff Tuesdays. John Amoroso hosted a coffee break for First Faculty Friday, and we’re seeing more faculty—especially part-time—engage with MCRPA and recognize its value. It’s great to see the impact MCRPA has across our College!
