2012–13 Pcc Foundation Annual Report on the ROAD to OPPORTUNITY Who’S Ready for a Road Trip? 2012–13 PCC FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT ON THE ROAD to OPPORTUNITY Who’s ready for a road trip? REMEMBER THE DAYS when the family piled in the car for a cross country driving vacation? The Portland Community College Foundation is taking you on a ride across Portland and our region where you’ll stop along the way to meet the supporters who make opportunity happen for thousands of students every year. These donors are driven and committed to send first generation, low-income students to college and all those seeking career training, allowing them to live out their dreams. For many students, this begins the journey of a lifetime. The PCC Foundation believes the key to student success is giving not only financial support but coaching and guidance for students to finish their degree or certificate. We believe that all students in our region should have access to an excellent education and the support needed to succeed. Founded in 1982, the Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding PCC priorities. To achieve its mission of enriching lives and strengthening communities through the College, the Foundation mobilizes donors to support scholarships, curriculum and faculty and staff development. THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS DEAR PCC FRIENDS, It’s an exciting time for Portland Commu- nity College — one filled with anticipation as together, we envision the future. The PCC Foundation is delighted to welcome our new college president, Dr. Jeremy Brown. A former physics instructor, Dr. Brown knows the classroom and the needs of faculty and students. He is an experienced institutional leader, serv- ing as president and provost at both two and four-year degree-granting institutions. He’s thrilled that PCC demonstrates every day what he champions: innovative workforce training and career technical programs; partnerships PCC President Jeremy Brown with Chris Neilsen, that engage high school students with a desire PCC Foundation President for 2012–13 for college; access to higher education for those who thought college was not possible; a diverse to programs like Jefferson Middle College and student body reflective of our community; and PCC Future Connect, which you can read more faculty and staff committed to academic excel- about in this report.
