“PC and its liberal arts approach to education lets you get to the core of who you are. Each class you take, you see the interconnectedness of all the disciplines. You are the subject of everything, and that’s unique for everyone. Everyone gets something different out of their time at PC.”

“I came to PC because I wanted a college experience that would challenge me and shape me. I didn’t want to go somewhere where I’d just be a number. PC was a place where professors knew your name, where you had a chance to lead, and where I could grow into the kind of person I wanted to be.”

“I wouldn’t have had the same one-on-one opportunities with professors at a larger school. PC has given me the chance to do real research, develop relationships with faculty, and grow both academically and personally.”

“Working closely with Dr. Owens has allowed me to see what research looks like beyond the classroom. Hearing about his own experiences in graduate school and in the field has helped me shape my own career path. This work has exposed me to areas of physics I hadn’t previously considered, from basic science to robotics and medical applications.”
