Amo DeBernardis Legacy Society of PCC

Dr. Amo DeBernardis, or Dr. De as he was known at the college, served as PCC’s founding president from 1961 until 1979 when he retired. His vision of access to higher education for all still guides our work today—and many of his founding concepts remain integral to our mission. Donors who include the PCC Foundation through a bequest, life income plan, or other type of planned gift, whether intended or received, become members of the Amo DeBernardis Legacy Society.

A special thank you to the following supporters for including PCC in their estate plans.
