PCC’s Internationalization Steering Committee also made it possible. Last week,?Wanna Prayukvong of Thailand visited to discuss international business issues.
Folks gathered in the Community Hall at the Southeast Campus to listen to Liu and enjoy the Asian Studies Focus Awards program which included folk music, dancing and community awards. These events tie into PCC’s Strategic Plan, which envisions the college as?a nationally renowned culture for diversity, equity and inclusion.
