Posted by briana.stansbury
When we said that PCC could take you places, we meant that both literally and figuratively. PCC Community Ed offers several travel trips each year – and 2020 is no exception. These aren’t your run of the mill classroom excursions, either (though we do offer those, too)! Join us as we travel – actually truly physically travel – to locations from Baja to Jaipur – and places in between. Go global with PCC!
