The session helped students manage academic stress, improve time management, and maintain a healthy balance between studies and personal well-being.

I learned that choosing the right degree at PGCC can help me reach my career goals faster.

It was a very nice and informative meeting.

STRIVE Academy Meeting by Dr. Stephanie Paireeting, impacted me by showing me the different opportunities available to help me grow academically, socially, and as a leader. I learned about college tours, community service, team-building activities, and tutoring. It encouraged me to stay involved, take advantage of these opportunities, and become a more responsible and confident student.

Attending the “Let’s Talk! Freedom of Expression at PGCC and the Constitution” meeting as a College-Wide Forum Senator was a valuable and informative experience. The discussion strengthened my understanding of students’ First Amendment rights, the college’s responsibility to remain viewpoint-neutral, and the policies governing protests, petitions, tabling, and other forms of expression on campus. This meeting will help me better inform and support my fellow students while encouraging respectful and responsible participation in campus activities.

“Resume Workshop: Making Your Resume More Impactful”
I attended a resume workshop presented by Alicia Jackson-Warren from PGCC’s Internship/Career Development team. During the meeting, she taught us how to make our resume bullet points more impactful by starting them with strong action verbs and focusing on accomplishments instead of just listing our duties. She explained the “action + context = result” formula, which helped me understand how to show what I did, why I did it, and the results of my work. She also emphasized keeping our resumes clear, concise, and free of grammar and spelling errors. After attending this meeting, I feel more confident about improving my resume and presenting my experiences and accomplishments in a way that shows my impact.

The GivePulse Demo Training was a great and informative meeting. Although I was already familiar with how to use GivePulse, the session was a helpful refresher and a great reminder of how everything works. It was good to review the features and refresh my knowledge of the platform.

The Refresh Session was informative and helpful. I learned important reminders about the Promise Scholars Program and what is expected. It was a great opportunity to reconnect, ask questions, and stay prepared for the upcoming semester.

Promise LAUNCH! Orientation Group Leads - Wed Aug 5 8:30am-4:00pm EDT

Being a Group Lead for the Promise LAUNCH Orientation was an amazing and fun experience. We welcomed new students, shared our experiences as Promise Scholars, and presented important information about how to stay on track and secure their scholarship. I enjoyed helping them feel more prepared and confident for this new journey.
