Recognizing Contributions Beyond the Classroom
QHCC faculty and staff recognized student ambassadors, club leaders, peer tutors, volunteers, and community service participants during the annual Student Leadership and Service Awards.
The event highlighted students who helped welcome new classmates, organize activities, support tutoring, communicate student concerns, and represent the college in community programs.
These students strengthened the college by noticing what others needed and choosing to help consistently.

Award Categories
Recognition categories included Student Ambassador Service, Peer Learning Leadership, Community Engagement, Emerging Club Leader, and Outstanding Campus Contribution.
Recipients were nominated by faculty, staff, or student organizations. Selection considered reliability, respectful leadership, initiative, service impact, and the ability to support others.
Leadership as Learning
Speakers emphasized that student leadership includes follow-through, listening, problem solving, and making room for other students to participate. Several award recipients described balancing service with work, family, and coursework.
Student Life will invite returning students to apply for ambassador, peer support, and club leadership opportunities before the next academic year.
