Spreading Holiday Cheer: Carrington College Campuses Embrace Community Service
The holiday season is a time for joy, reflection, and most importantly, giving back to the communities that support us. At Carrington College, our campuses celebrated the spirit of the season by engaging in various community activities, involving students, faculty, and staff in acts of kindness and support for local non-profit organizations. Here are just a few heartwarming examples of the positive impact Carrington College had on communities during the holidays.
In December 2023, the Carrington College Mesa campus went above and beyond to spread holiday joy by hosting an Angel Tree for children with incarcerated parents. The campus united to provide gifts and support for these young individuals, bringing smiles and warmth to their faces during a challenging time. It’s heartening to see our community extend its care beyond the campus borders and into the lives of those who need it most.
