Please join Portland Community College between 1:30-3 p.m., Tuesday, March 7 at Room 122, Building 7, Rock Creek Campus for Holi, a festival of colors.

So, come visit and enjoy a cultural program along with snacks. If you plan to play with organic colors please wear clothes you don’t mind getting? colored and bring your inner kid along, too. This event is cosponsored by the Rock Creek Multicultural and Women’s Resource centers, and the Math Program
These events give students, faculty and staff a sense of belonging and helps to engage them on a deeper level. PCC is transforming the college’s learning culture toward creating a sense of belonging and well-being for every student.
