As with most building projects, plans to expand the campus have been in the works for quite some time. College officials are planning to construct a third building across from the Library/Science building in the sport court area. The new building’s plan will have three floors with the first floor being mostly devoted to computer labs and classes. The second floor will be for students. There will be a student lounge, a recreation room where students will be able to play pool and foosball, along with other activities. A new, larger cafeteria area will be available for students to eat and visit. There will also be a child care facility. The third floor will be for teachers’ offices and general classrooms.

This year’s Pierce College Work Study Student of the Year is Tami Silva. Silva works in Puyallup’s Financial Aid office where she helps students who have questions or need help. She has worked in the Financial Aid office, under the supervision of Financial Aid Advisor Pam Bott, since last fall quarter. Silva was chosen by the Washington State Associated Student Employment Administration out of all the nominated work study students at both campuses of the Pierce College. Nominations were sent out to supervisors, who then nominated one student for the award. “I’m overwhelmed and very appreciative,” said Silva after receiving the award.
And the winner is: Work Study Student of the Year Tami Silva, left, and Financial Aid Advisor Pam Bott celebrate Silva’s success.

Calling the shots: Students, friends and family had the chance to chalk up the cues and partake in pool on April 4. The billiards bash was sponsored by Student Programs.
Have you ever wanted a fresh, hot cup of coffee or a quick snack between classes but didn’t have any cash in the pockets? Well, the Daffo Deli now offers students and staff an option — a new countertop ATM. The system costs 40 cents per use, compared to $1.50 to use the cash machine in the hallway. It’s also flexible. For example, say you would like to purchase three meals but want to pay for it in advance. Perhaps you would appreciate paying up front for a

week’s worth of coffee. The versatility is as unique as the diverse population on campus. Daffo Deli Manager Susan Hawkins explained that the machine is in response to the tremendous request for such a service to Student Services. A machine was purchased for the Fort Steilacoom campus and now Puyallup also will enjoy one. There are options of credit or debit, however customers will not be able to get cash back. Daffo Deli does not accept checks or credit cards that can’t be used with the new cash machine.
