President's Message

Pierce College continues its transformation, with the opening of three new buildings during the 2009-2010 academic year.  These buildings include the Student Services Building, the Center for Sciences, and the Child Development Center.  In addition, the main pedestrian walkway through the middle of campus has been extended and completely rebuilt, with new landscaping and special features for gathering and just enjoying the scenery. 

We are busy planning for a new Library/Learning Resources Center, Green Technologies and Digital Arts instructional buildings, as well as a new Horticulture area, Food Court, and Maintenance and Operations facility. 

Pierce has an outstanding academic reputation, and remains the smart choice for generations of students.  As we enter an era of budget tightening, we will strive to make the right decisions to maximize the instructional offering and offer critical services to students.  Pierce is committed to student access and success, and we welcome all students to join us in a positive and supportive learning environment that values diversity, and helps students to reach their educational and career goals.

If you are ready to make the commitment to change your future, we are ready to help you get there.  Welcome to Pierce College!

Dr. Joy McCaslin
Pierce College President
