Thanks to all our vets & good luck in your new pursuits! We're happy to have you at PCC and to help you get where you want to go next! Veteran benefits for college can often be used for study abroad through PCC's international programs (in Italy, Spain, England, Costa Rica & Mexico) and we'd love to help vets investigate these opportunities. There are additional scholarships available, but usually have deadlines at least 6 months in advance of the program --- so plan ahead! Visit PCC's study abroad office or make an appointment at: http://www.pcc.edu/about/international/study-abroad/ PCC Study Abroad 971-722- 7152

A BIG Thank You!!
You all are very helpful and informative. I am a student in the Welding program and had lots of questions about what benefits I had. They not only answered all questions, but connected me to the right network to increase my educational success at PCC.

As a PCC Disability Services (DS) Counselor, my interactions with Matt Blankenship about veterans’ issues at Cascade campus have always been mutually beneficial for our students. I stand amazed and grateful for the trust, willingness, sacrifice, and sense of duty our veterans have given us. I will never forget the increased sense of security I felt in New York City when I saw fighter jets flying overhead in the weeks following 9/11. Wounded veterans are very welcome at DS and can find out more at www.pcc.edu/resources/disability.

As the former wife of a Viet Nam vet, who returned with unrecognized PTSD, one who was spit at and cussed out as he returned to the US, I am thrilled that PCC is doing something positive for our returning vets. My heart goes out to these men and women who sacrificed their lives for us.

Thank you Zach and Narce for setting this up. If I can help, let me know.

Regards,

Sue Swain
