Karen Young already had more than 10 years of nursing experience when she joined the U.S. Navy Reserve as a commissioned officer in 1994.

By the time Young joined Pensacola State College’s nursing faculty in 2007, she had already served in numerous leadership positions in the Navy Reserve. Still, her greatest professional achievements wouldn’t come until she was well-entrenched at PSC.

What’s the most important number in existence? Some will default to Pi, others to Euler’s number and maybe a few might even go with 137, a number some smart folks have theorized could help physicists unravel the grail-like grand unified theory long sought.

(And, of course, there’s 42 for all the fans of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”)

Pensacola State College political science instructor Robert Thead goes in a different direction.

The artist statement for Pensacola State College sculpture instructor Jimmy Rhea’s upcoming art exhibition tells us “I am fascinated with finding the evidence of existence by drawing from the lines of our past. Objects that have absorbed a previous life or history visually attract me.”

It’s not too late for rising high school juniors and seniors to enroll in the new Pensacola State College Charter Academy, which begins classes on Aug. 8.

The College will host PSC Charter Academy information sessions from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on June 2 and June 7 in Room 3204, Building 3200, on the Warrington campus. 

The PSC Charter Academy is located on the bottom floor of Building 3400 on the Warrington campus.

The Charter Academy will accept 75 high school juniors and 75 high school seniors for the first two years of operation.
