A note from the

President I am quite sure that in years to come when we look back at the academic year of 2021, we will all agree it was one for the history books. Although the pandemic’s effects will be studied for decades, we know firsthand that for many of our students, the educational gaps that existed before the pandemic – in access, opportunities, achievement and outcomes – are widening. We see that many of these impacts are falling disproportionately on students who went into the pandemic with the greatest educational needs and fewest opportunities – many of them from historically marginalized and underserved groups. For better or worse, COVID-19 accelerated changes in higher education with breathtaking speed. The trends cut deep and in unexpected ways. It is safe to say that PCC experienced a decade’s worth of change over the past year. However, it is equally important to recognize that, even in these trying times, the administration, faculty and staff of Pueblo Community College are immersed in the hard work of building back better to ensure equal educational opportunity for all students. I am especially pleased with the collaborative momentum and multiple conversations that have taken place at PCC over the past year around the need to pivot the emphasis of all we do to be more intentional and inclusive of everyone. I now look forward to what is yet to come as we work to put words into action for both our employees and our students. As your peruse this annual publication of PCC Quality Highlights, you will quickly appreciate that this past academic year was filled with moments that demonstrate our unique initiatives, creativity and a unified commitment to student success. Most importantly, we recognize and celebrate the 1,900-plus students who graduated this past year as highly skilled, highly educated individuals who are ready to enter the workforce or transfer to a four-year institution. PCC has added an electronic newsletter that will be issued at the end of each month. It is yet another opportunity to connect with our community, keeping our constituents informed and up to date on our many activities and accomplishments. If you would like to be included in this mailing, please drop us a note at president@pueblocc.edu. In addition, follow our progress by visiting our website, pueblocc.edu, and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
