Doughnut Homies

"I’ve gotten so much support from my hometown. I close for a day and they have my head! People make it a point to come every day. They look forward to these doughnuts. That means so much to me.”

From Language Learner to Business Owner

"I took English at the university level at Quinsigamond. If you put your mind to it, your learn a lot. I got my construction supervisor's license during that time. I think that if you have any kind of business, and you want that business to thrive, you must learn some English. And a very good place for someone to learn English is QCC."

Supporting our community and the people in it

QCC alumna Tiana Diaz knows firsthand what it’s like to be down on your luck and feel like there is nowhere to turn for help, but today the mother of three is running her own successful business, T.A.J. Tropicals & Trinkets, named after her children. The powerhouse entrepreneur took a roundabout way to entrepreneurship, and credits QCC with saving her life and giving her the confidence to be the person she knew she could always be.
