Hero images
  • Must be horizontal and cropped to 1000 x 563px.
  • Require signed media release forms from all identifiable students.
  • Ideal photo content:
    • Shows PCC students actively engaged in the typical learning environment for the program.
    • Allows prospective students to picture themselves in the program.
    • Accurately represents our student population.

Additional photos, such as student work samples, can be incorporated into other places on the program site.
