Why you allow cell phones and music to be played in the classrooms, computer labs and even the library is completely beyond comprehension. This is a place where it is to be quiet to concentrate on studies and for computer work, this is not your car, fellow students! Why am I paying for computer labs when I can’t even use them because someone can’t live without their noisy devices between breaks?!! The teachers and lab administrators at all campuses need to put a stop to this. They should take a page from Dr. Sandlin’s book and completely forbid electronic devices and speakers from the classrooms, labs, and library. I should be able to find a quiet study area on the campus at least indoors!!! Have courtesy for everyone around you not yourself! Jeremy needs to step in on this immediately! If someone needs their devices that badly then that’s a disability and they need to get their devices surgically implanted in their “brain” so only they can hear their “music” and phone calls! I shouldn’t have to hear their garbage.

It is on behalf of those, and still due to being far from the United States have no chance that I write. Can they be given an individual meeting with the President of the college? If so, I remain counted, for I am travelling away from the States and hopes to be back long after the “Wednesday July 31, Southeast Center’s Community Hall” meeting by the same.
Thank you.

Why did President Brown choose to visit campuses during the summer when there are so few students and faculty on campus? I would think that if he wants to see the true experiences of students and faculty at each unique location, he would want to visit during the terms with regular enrollment.
This was nothing more than a photo-op for a President whose appointment was met with mediocre enthusiasm (by students AND faculty) at best.

Will there be upcoming opportunities for Jeremy Brown to socialize with student leadership (ASPCC, Multicultural Center, Women’s Resource Center, Roots, Transitions, etc.)? Excited to meet the new president and work together in the mutual interest of serving PCC students well

This was a great article, and the pictures are great. I think this also shows off our wonderful programs and new buildings. It looks like it was an exhausting day, but what a good welcome.

Hi Kyle, thanks for the comment. All of the PCC Shuttles run on Bio Diesel so it was a very green transportation for Dr. Brown. Having him and his tour group (which consisted of 10-15 people getting on and off at each location, not five) broken up in about 5-6 hybrids would have been a bit of a dilemma logistically and probably wouldn’t have been a much greener commute. Plus, the larger shuttle provided space for him to chat with various staff about each campus, allowed our video production staff to store their equipment and have access to him during the journey for footage and interviews. In addition, it provided us free wi-fi to blog and take notes. For his first day, the bio-diesel shuttle was just the best option.

It’s good to see Dr. Brown out meeting PCC’s great staff but why did he take a huge shuttle with five people on it around the entire district? There are PCC Driver Education hybrids I see all the time at several different campuses and centers; couldn’t he have used two of them and promoted PCC’s sustainability goals while on his tour?
