Service
PC's motto, "Dum Vivimus Servimus," or "While we live, we serve,"
is as distinguishable as the Blue Hose mascot itself.
"Dum Vivimus Servimus" gets at the heart of what the college is all about: the giving up of one's self for the good of another. With nearly 85% of the students participating in some type of service, the spirit of volunteerism lives on in the PC community.

Biology students help Ecuadorian schoolchildren
In the spring 2009 Maymester term, fourteen biology students, along with professors Drs. Troy Nash and Mike Rischbieter, went on a Maymester tour of the Amazon. While on the trip, they visited a school in Ecuador to have a cultural exchange and to help the school by providing school supplies such as paper, crayons, pencils, and scissors.
