“I know we have a lot of our students here and this (event) is for you. Proceeds from this event will benefit merit and need-based scholarships for QCC students. The LPP is a collaboration between the QCC Foundation, the Community Connections Department and the English Department to partner with established authors to raise scholarship money in their name, encouraging retention of current students and promoting recruitment of prospective students. The Evening with Roxane Gay was presented by the Literary Philanthropy Project (LPP), a new initiative that was conceived by QCC Assistant English Professor Nicole Payen.
On Friday, March 23, the City of Worcester was treated to something special when Quinsigamond Community College brought author and cultural critic Roxane Gay, to Mechanics Hall for a night of thought-provoking conversation.
