  • Staying Connected
    Staying Connected PCC Retirees Association April 2016 The History Department and Retirees Association Want to Tell Your Story as Part of PCC’s 100th Anniversary Pasadena City College will be celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2024, and the Retirees Association and the History Department are coordinating an effort to document every retiree’s role in making PCC one of the top community colleges in the state. Every one of you has made a significant difference during the time you spent at the college. It doesn’t matter what job you did on the campus, you were a part of the history and contributed to the success of this college. That’s why the Retirees Association would like to encourage you to tell your story so it can be a permanent part of the college’s history. When PCC celebrated its 75th Anniversary, a commemorative booklet was printed to mark the occasion. However, in the last few decades there have been numerous changes and tremendous growth on the campus. This coupled with a significant number of retirements has left the college’s institutional memory lacking. So many things that should be a part of the college’s archives are either gone or misplaced. That’s where the 100th Anniversary Project comes in. We would like to collect autobiographical information about your time at PCC. Each and every one of you has a story to tell, and we want to hear about it from you. A college is a lot more than the instructors and the students. The non-teaching staff ensures that rooms are available, classes are scheduled and books ordered for students to buy.
