PSC’s ambitious ‘Your Community-Your Legacy’ capital campaign raises $12.6M, surpassing $11M goal

It’s a staggering figure ─ $11 million. That was the goal of Pensacola State College’s second-in-history capital campaign. The final tally was more staggering, more tremendous ─ $12.6 million, $1.6 million over goal.

And it took 1,329 generous and visionary donors to bring that $12.6 million to PSC.

Student Excellence Awards Ceremony honors PSC’s best and most d edicated students

P SC Charter Academy set to welcome high school students beginning Aug. 8

Principal Karen McCabe is eager to welcome up to 150 high school juniors and seniors to the new Pensacola State College Charter Academy on Aug. 8.

“There’s still a lot to do to get ready, but we’re excited,’’ said McCabe, who was selected to lead the new academy after nearly five years as director of the College’s South Santa Rosa Center.

“It’s going to be more technology-based and interactive than many other high schools and will allow these students to pursue their high school diploma and associate degree at the same time.”

PSC Visual Arts Students showcase best work at 2022 Art Student Honors Exhibition

Vogue magazine would be fortunate to have a cover as striking and visually compelling as the mock cover created by Pensacola State College graphic design student Aubrey Dean.

Dean’s three digital paintings that were then transformed into a mock cover and advertisements for Vogue won “Best in Show” at the 2022 PSC Art Student Honors Exhibition Award Ceremony.

The ceremony was held on April 14 in the Anna Lamar Switzer Center for Visual Arts. Twenty students won awards, all coming with some sort of cash, product prize or scholarship. Dean won $300 for Best in Show, which is voted on by PSC Visual Arts Department faculty.

Title III grant provides PSC with study pods, charging stations, video conference rooms, new advisers

They look a little like telephone booths. (Consult an elderly person or encyclopedia if you’re not sure what a phone booth is.) But instead, they’re portable study pods – places of individual academic refuge where students can study alone and use personal computers for online classes.

There are 10 study pods across Pensacola State College campuses and centers. The study pods are part of a $2.2 million U.S. Department of Education Title III Strengthening Institution grant that enhances the existing Pirate Path to Success initiative.

Lisa Payne to leave PSC after 43 years of service, all on Warrington campus

Lisa Payne admits that sometimes she still slips up and says “PJC” instead of “PSC,’’ even though Pensacola Junior College became Pensacola State College in 2010. You can’t really blame her.

She has worked at the College for 43 years – and for more than 30 of those years, it was PJC, so it is understandable. And before she came to work at the College as a 19-year-old, she was already a student, earning a career certificate in stenography in 1979.

Ceramics Instructor Micah Cain

The crumbs and remnants of Micah Cain’s work and toil are caked across his apron, and often, on his well-worn jeans and t-shirt.

Cain is Pensacola State College’s ceramics instructor, coming to the College in fall 2019.

He teaches Ceramics I and Ceramics II to students ranging from art to business majors who want a cool elective and to learn an awesome skill. And even if Cain wasn’t deep in the clay with students, he’d most likely still be going home each day with soil, clay and maybe mud coating his skin.
