For the fourth consecutive year, PCC had a significant presence in Newberg’s annual “Old Fashioned Festival,” which took place in the city’s Memorial Park July 26-29. College administrators and students from the PCC Newberg Center and PCC Sylvania Campus again staffed an informational booth for festival-goers and participated in the Saturday morning parade.
The PCC Newberg Center, one of the first projects stemming from passage of the college’s 2008 bond measure, opened its doors to students in fall 2011 and enrollment continues to soar each term. The center offers both credit and non-credit courses; for more information and to access the fall 2012 schedule, visit: www.pcc.edu/about/locations/newberg
