Come meet and talk to the two candidates for consideration as the next president of the Southeast/Extended Learning Campus this week – May 23 and May 24.
Site Plan for Southeast Center shows the bond improvements that will transform the site into a full-service, comprehensive campus.
?
The next president of the Southeast/Extended Learning Campus will oversee nearly $39 million in bond construction planned for the Southeast Center, transforming it into a full-service, comprehensive campus for more than 20,000 students in the heart of an emerging commercial corridor and urban renewal district.
Couple that investment with the doubling of student enrollment, academic programming and workforce development at all of the Extended Learning Campus sites, it becomes apparent that this next president will have an enduring influence on the PCC community and the broader community across the district.
