I love people and I love to deal with people.” What is one thing you would like to change about Pierce College, but you know you can’t? “While working on the activities board and student programs this year I found bureaucracy. Given the size of the school, I understand the need for bureaucracy, and that’s one thing that can’t be changed.”

What is something you would like to change at Pierce and you know you can? “There is one thing I would like to change but don’t know how to go about it. That is the spirit and the attitude of the students. It’s not a bad attitude, but it’s one where we can’t connect with students because they are so busy with other things.”

I would like there to be more student involvement on campus. Plus, I haven’t really thought about what I am unable to change.” What would you like to change at Pierce College and you know you can? “Since we did get full campus status I will be serving on the committee for the new building.

Finally, full campus status has been achieved! The state Legislature allocated $2 million for Pierce College—Puyallup, and students, faculty and staff will begin to see the results in the fall. Some of the changes will include: eight new faculty members, increased library hours, increased student services, and a larger selection of classes offered. This additional money will also free up the pre-design money for the planning and construction of the phase three building/student center.
