College Updates

Board of Governors’ Meeting Update
At the March 12, 2009 Board of Governors’ Meeting, the Board heard reports from PCCEA, AFSCME and ACES. 

Additionally, the Board renewed contracts with the College’s current dental and life insurance companies.

Volunteer to Serve on a Standing Committee
PCC employees interested in serving on a Standing Committee for the 2009-2010 academic year must complete the Standing Committee Interest Form online to be considered.  Individuals currently serving on a Standing Committee whose terms have not expired do not need to reapply.

Please note that this process is the only way that employees can indicate their interest and willingness to serve on a Standing Committee next year. 

The deadline for submitting the Standing Committee Interest Form is Tuesday, March 31, 2009.  Volunteers will be notified via email by May 15, 2009 regarding new committee assignments.

Previous PCC Calendars Available
Media Production & Publications has a few dozen framed calendars from previous years available. The calendars are free and limited to two per person. For more information or to make an appointment, contact Grace English in Media Production & Publications at 206-4924.
