Faculty Spotlight
This week, we’re celebrating Dr. Anne Macy and her 20 years of teaching at Pacific Coast Banking School.
As the instructor for Financial Markets and the Economy, one of our most popular electives, Anne has inspired generations of banking professionals through her expertise, energy, and commitment to learning.
When reflecting on what keeps her coming back to PCBS each year, Anne shared:
"PCBS is a special place. I look forward to it every year because of the people. Over the years, I’ve built meaningful relationships with faculty, staff, and students, and those connections are what make the experience so rewarding. I always try to make a connection with as many people as I can."
Some of Anne’s favorite memories come from the creativity and camaraderie of her students.
"One year, my class surprised me with a skit and a rendition of 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling.' Another year, after a lively discussion regarding Wells Fargo, a group of students presented me with a giant Wells Fargo horse named Nelly. She still has a place in my office and continues to spark conversations."
When asked about memorable moments with fellow faculty and staff, Anne reflected on the countless conversations, walks, hikes, and shared experiences that have created lasting friendships over the years.
"There have been so many meaningful moments and friendships that it’s difficult to choose just one. What stands out most is the sense of community and the opportunity to spend time with such remarkable people year after year."
After 20 years, Anne's perspective on PCBS remains simple:
"To me, PCBS is an exceptional summer learning experience where professional development, industry knowledge, and lifelong relationships come together in a truly unique way."
Thank you, Anne, for the impact you’ve made over the past 20 years. Your passion for teaching and dedication to our students continue to strengthen the PCBS community.
