Tell your story

The TRHT team is committed to bringing our campus community closer together, building strong connections, and ensuring everyone feels like they belong. That's why we're thrilled to introduce a special project aimed at doing just that – our storytelling initiative.

We're excited to kick things off by focusing on something near and dear to all of us: identity. We want to hear your story – what identity means to you in just two minutes. We also invite you to take a moment to listen to the stories shared by your colleagues and get to know them on a deeper level. To listen to stories that have already been recorded, click on the "Queensborough Community College" tab in the upper left-hand corner and dive into the narratives shared by members of our community.

As we continue this journey, we're committed to making our storytelling richer and more meaningful. Together, let's create a campus where every voice matters and everyone feels like they truly belong.

These stories may be edited, published and shared.

Tell your story
Tips for telling a great story
  • Tell your story as if you were talking to a friend or a relative. Make it personal.
  • Add photos! It is best if the first photo you add is a nice image of yourself so that people can see you as they listen to or read your story.
Tips for audio recording
  • You can re-record as many times as you want. Take a couple of practice runs until it feels more natural talking into your computer.
  • Try not to use a pre-written script so that your story sounds as natural as possible. It is ok if it is not perfect.
  • Try to speak as clearly as possible, and get as close to the microphone as you can.
  • Try to find a quiet place with no background noise. It is even better if the room has carpet. This will reduce the amount of echo on the recording.
