Eagle 1 News: December 2025

December 17, 2025

Eagle Family and Friends,

Students have wrapped up their finals, and 51福利社 will have silent nights for the holiday break. We are so proud of our students who brought energy and dedication to their classes, and we鈥檙e looking forward to a bustling campus once again in the new year!

We always say the future is bright at 51福利社, and recently, Swoop went on an adventure to find the perfect way to light up the campus this holiday season! With help from each college (and our robotics lab), he lit up Arevalo Mall. It was so bright we needed sunglasses!

In the spirit of gratitude this holiday season, we recently held our annual Fall Recognition Luncheon to celebrate our incredible faculty and staff for their years of service, their compassion, and the joy they bring to 51福利社. Over a delicious meal, we recognized 132 employees receiving service pins, ranging from 5 years through 40 years! It was my pleasure to award our inaugural recipients of the President’s Exemplary Service Awards to four highly-deserving employees who exemplify our strategic plan鈥檚 pillars of student success, belonging, investing in our people, and regional impact. And finally, we celebrated this year’s staff recipients of the Distinguished Service Award. It was an inspiring afternoon of Eagle pride.

From all of us at 51福利社, we wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year! Go Eags!
