From the Board of Trustees Chair
As a Pitt Community College graduate, serving on the Board of Trustees is an honor. PCC is a special place that has given me and many others in the
community an opportunity to improve our lives through higher education. In a little more than a year, PCC will celebrate its 60th Anniversary. The college
has expanded since 1961 in terms of enrollment, employees, facilities and programs, but its mission to educate and empower people for success remains
unchanged. Today, Pitt Community College is continually demonstrating the power of education to transform people’s lives for the better. We’re a major
player in the region’s economy, and this Annual Report to the Community is testament to our contributions toward development of a skilled workforce that
attracts new business and industry to eastern North Carolina and ensures our current employers thrive.
