A message from Mary Waterman, Alumni Association Chair - I derive my strongest sense of purpose from working and interacting with people to help improve conditions and promote wellness in my local—and global—community.
Locally, I volunteer with several organizations, including Hospice, where I share my time and aromatherapy and neuromuscular massage skills with terminal patients to help provide comfort in their final months. I serve as Secretary-Treasurer of the Boone Neighborhood Watch program and in the Boone Ladies Auxiliary, where our members help to generate funds for the town’s Volunteer Firefighters. At school, I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa, and I have served as Vice President and President of the PCC chapter. I also currently captain the Radiology Technology’s ‘Relay for Life’ fundraising team, and am Chair of the PCC Alumni Association.
I am incredibly excited as I finish my senior year as a Radiology Technology student, here at Pueblo Community College. In the years to come, I will maintain my professional edge and continually develop my skills and knowledge, by returning to PCC to satisfy standard required continuing education credits for my profession.
Whether it’s “fund”-raising or “friend”-raising, the newly organized Alumni Association serves the campuses of Pueblo, Fremont County, Durango and Cortez through keeping alumni, donors and other friends connected to the College.
We plan to support new projects that will affect a wide range of students in many different and important ways. Our organization invites all of you...young, old, male, female, married or single, graduate or friend of the College...to join us and be part of something important. Your investment will have a direct impact on our students’ lives and reward you with a feeling of accomplishment.
Some of the Alumni Association’s proposed activities are to sponsor the Annual Student Leadership Recognition Luncheon honoring those students that demonstrate leadership abilities; sponsor the Annual Outstanding Awards honoring individuals and organizations that have provided notable contributions to the College; support student scholarships through the College’s PCC Foundation; print and distribute the bi-annual PCC Alumni Association / PCC Foundation LEGACY magazine; support the College’s various student activities during the academic year; and conduct fundraisers throughout the community to increase awareness of PCC, its Foundation and Alumni Association.
