In-memoriam tributes for our colleagues
Celebrating the lives and legacies of those who shaped Portland Community College.
At PCC, our greatest strength has always been our people. This space is dedicated to remembering the faculty, staff, and retirees who dedicated their careers to student success and community growth. Though they are no longer with us, their impact remains woven into the fabric of our campuses.
We invite colleagues, friends, and former students to help us keep these legacies alive. If you would like to notify the college of a passing or share a tribute for a departed colleague, please use the In-Memoriam of our PCC Colleagues form.
- Names will be listed in alphabetical order by last name – last, first (job title, department).
- Photos are optional.
Supporting our community
When we lose a colleague, the loss is felt in our classrooms, our breakrooms, and our shared goals. We encourage all members of the PCC family to prioritize their well-being and reach out for support.
Immediate support resources
For many, the workplace is where the reality of a loss first hits. We have compiled these resources to ensure no one has to navigate these feelings alone.
