Bay College invites students, faculty, staff, and community members to gather for its WIN-TER Celebration of WINS on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (ET) in The HUB Hospitality Area (800 Building) on the Escanaba Campus.
Hosted by Bay College Online Learning, the celebration will feature an Asian-inspired food bar, and a special gratitude activity inspired by Lunar New Year traditions. Attendees will have the opportunity to write non-monetary encouragement and well-wishes on red envelopes, symbolizing renewal, positivity, and shared success.
“We’re celebrating two big wins: A 100% adoption of Blackboard Ultra as our primary learning management system, and saving students over 3 million dollars on textbooks by using open educational resources,” said Joseph Mold, Executive Director of Online Learning and Instructional Design. “We invite you to celebrate your wins, too.”
The WIN-TER Celebration is open to all and encourages participants to share their own successes—big or small—while enjoying a free lunch and connecting with colleagues and friends. In the spirit of community and celebration, organizers also note the festive overlap with Mardi Gras, adding even more reason to gather and celebrate together.
The WIN-TER Celebration reflects Bay College’s commitment to innovation, student success, and community engagement. By embracing renewal, gratitude, and shared achievement, the event aims to inspire continued progress across campus and beyond.
