PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We are delighted that you are interested in Pitt Community
College and look forward to serving you. Our wide array of programs,
courses, and support services will assist you, as our mission states, “for
success in life, in higher education, in the workforce, and in a global
economy.”
The high quality of the academic and co-curricular programs at
PCC provides a distinctive, learner-centered experience. Faculty and
staff are committed to student success, and students are invited to take
advantage of the wealth of opportunities offered. From occupational and
university transfer programs to professional development classes,
attention to detail and the individualization of learning are emphasized.
This catalog provides you with a detailed description of the College’s
requirements, procedures, and offerings, and you can also consult our
web site (www.pittcc.edu) for the most up-to-date information and
activities. Do not hesitate to contact our faculty, deans, counselors,
Office of Student Development, or any college employees with questions
regarding your planning and success. We are dedicated to helping you
achieve your educational goals.
In November 2004, the Board of Trustees endorsed a Master Plan
for facilities development for the next eight years. This fall the Humber
Building is being renovated for enhanced uses. We also hope to begin
work on a major addition to the Fulford Building in the coming year. A
Student Center is the first priority for new construction in the future,
and I will be asking for your support if a voter referendum is required to
secure county funding. We are committed to expanding and improving
our campus for better service and an enhanced learning environment for
you and those students who follow you.
It is my honor to serve as the leader of a talented and dedicated
faculty and staff, and we welcome you to learn more about Pitt
Community College. Make the personal commitment to explore options
and accomplish your educational and career goals.
Dr. G. Dennis Massey
