While National Popcorn Day technically falls on Jan. 19, Dr. Hunnicutt and his team took the opportunity to spread joy a little early by visiting various areas of campus and handing out bags of gourmet popcorn to students and employees alike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPopcorn is a simple pleasure, but today, we used it as a way to connect with our campus community, share some smiles and show appreciation for all of the hard work that happens here at Nash Community College,\u201d said Dr. Hunnicutt. \u201cWe are so proud of our students and staff, and it\u2019s important to take moments like this to celebrate together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The campus-wide celebration was met with excitement as Dr. Hunnicutt made surprise visits throughout the day, offering popcorn and engaging with students and faculty.
