Photos and story by

President Barack Obama has taken notice of PCC.

The college was one of seven state colleges or universities in Oregon that made the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. PCC is also the only Oregon community college to achieve this distinction.

The President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, launched in 2006, annually highlights the role colleges and universities play in solving community problems and placing more students on a lifelong path of civic engagement by recognizing institutions that achieve meaningful, measureable outcomes in the communities they serve.

For more information on all of the colleges recognized in the nation, visit The President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll website.
