Student Engagement
Purpose
Empower all students to build community and a sense of belonging at PCC.
Vision
Every PCC student discovers community, belonging, purpose, and success.
Mission
Student Engagement supports a sense of belonging and holistic growth through leadership development and engagement opportunities. We enrich student life outside the classroom by offering meaningful programs, such as:
- Academic honor societies
- Events and activities
- Student Clubs and Organizations
- Leadership experiences
Values
- Social Justice and Belonging – Acknowledge the value of each member of a mutually-created community. Foster a sense of agency and responsibility to disrupt the systems of oppression that create barriers.
- Equity and Access – Ensure equitable access for all abilities and lived experiences. Extend beyond the broader meanings of compliance to confront implicit and explicit structures and policies that bar access.
- Curiosity and Growth – Encourage brave engagement and life-long learning. Offer co-curricular activities for personal development rooted in critical thinking.
- Collaboration and Humility – Acknowledge the value of partnerships with students and campus groups to elevate marginalized experiences. Recognize the limitations of our positionality within systems of power and the need for many perspectives to enact meaningful change.
- Community and Fun – Promote playful experiences and spaces to cultivate connection and creativity.
These values guide both the goals and processes of Student Engagement through education, support, awareness, integrity, advocacy, and allocation of resources.
