On location with the PCC Panther: the tobacco-free video shoot

Photos and story by

Poppe the PCC Panther is on Twitter!

On Monday, Aug. 10, Poppe the Panther was the star of another video shoot at the Sylvania Campus. His new video, to be released in a few weeks, will inform the community about the college’s new tobacco-free policy.

The Panther takes a moment to find his spot while director Rose Leiker and cameraman Kevin Forrest scout the Panther’s next move during his tobacco-free PSA. No feline named Poppe was harmed in the filming of this video.

And, during Technology Solutions Services’ retreat last week at the Rock Creek Campus, Poppe’s popular Twitter page was all the buzz among technology staff. Here, PCC Web designer Gabriel McGovern, far right behind podium, shows off Poppe’s latest tweets and the power of using the service to get out information about the college in an entertaining fashion.
