Today, our Equity Alliance response team kicked off the first Book Club meeting of the semester. What a powerful and good discussion about @BDTSpelman's book Why All the Black Kids Sit Together in the Cafeteria. Thank you @coachbhen_phcc for spearheading the discussion!
What are our advisors doing now that classes have started? They're actually quite busy helping students whose classes were dropped due to nonpayment and students who are making the last-minute decision to come to PHCC.
Yes, your class has started, but it's not too late to join!
Worried dorms will close?
Worried classes will move online & everyone's sent home?
Worried you won't get a true college experience?
Worried you're taking on a debt that could take decades to repay?
Why do this to yourself? Start at a #CommunityCollege; save $$$ & breathe easier.
College degrees aren't the only way to get high-paying jobs. Almost half of openings in Virginia require some education beyond high school, but not a degree.

Classes have already started, but it's not too late to join your friends in pursuing a bright future!
Q: Is it safe? A: We've spent all summer creating a plan to have as normal and as SAFE a semester as possible.
Q: Is every class online? A: No, we have many in-person classes!
For Virginians who've lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is funding (and a stipend!) to get training for in-demand work!

A recent national study revealed that a large majority of Americans believe higher ed offers pathways for upward economic mobility & is a good return on investment and #Communitycolleges, in particular, are a worthwhile investment.

Congratulations to Connor Frye on his commitment to play baseball at California University of PA. A great student athlete who will continue to excel on and off the field !! #RunIt
Virginia's Community colleges will all hold the line on tuition - opting not to raise tuition while many of our students are experiencing a time of uncertainty. https://t.co/0i5niwxW7z
I’m excited to announce that I will be furthering my academic and baseball career at Patrick Henry Community College. I thank God, my family, and my coaches for guiding me through this process even when it seemed like it was the end of the road. Go Patriots💙💛 @PHCC_Baseball
Graduates, don't forget to send us your cap photo by Monday at 5PM!
We've received some really great submissions so far and can't wait to see them all together on Saturday during our virtual graduation!
An online portal that enables Virginians to find high-quality and affordable remote-learning courses that best meet their needs?
We've got just the thing.
Welcome to https://t.co/BJszISYKh6.
Participation in the virtual grad (5/16) @PatrickHenryCC
has far exceeded expectations! (Maybe it’s the free cap & tassel being provided to participants). 😃
I deeply appreciate the innovation and “can do” spirit displayed by our marketing, PR, and Student Activities staff!
