The Campaign for Opportunity
"My vision – and that of the PCC Foundation – is that one day everyone will have the opportunity to go to PCC and have the support they need to succeed, regardless of their ability to pay. Before I retire from PCC in July 2013, I want to ensure the next plank is laid in the road to student success. I'm calling this my Campaign for Opportunity. Please join me in making this a reality." - Dr. Preston Pulliams
