Welcome from Associate Director

P.R.I.D.E. Mentoring Program (PMP) students are engaged in an interactive and holistic development program designed to support them throughout their matriculation at the college. Working with (PMP) students is very rewarding. My goal is to serve as an advocate and motivate students as they develop action plans for the rest of their lives. Over the past few years, the program has grown tremendously and our students are immersed in the life of our campus. There are not many places you can go on campus and not encounter a PMP family member. As a staff member, I am committed to Preparing Remarkable Individuals Determined to Excel!
