Congratulations to all of our Blue Hose who went Greek over the last couple of weeks! Bid Day, best day, am I right? 🎉🏛️💙

Greek life at PC is about more than joining an organization. It’s about becoming part of traditions that have been built over generations, getting involved on campus and in the community, building lifelong friendships, and holding yourself to high standards along the way.

We’re excited to welcome our newest members to the PC Greek community! 💙

📸 See photos from both events on our Flickr page! Link in bio.

What happens when the classroom moves to the river?

Presbyterian College students spent two weeks on Tennessee’s Clinch River for a hands-on field biology course. They studied freshwater mussels, fish, insects, plants and salamanders while working with professional scientists. 🐟🦎

The immersive experience gave students the chance to apply their biology education in the field, build confidence in scientific research and explore careers in conservation and environmental science.

At PC, learning doesn’t always happen inside four walls. 💙

🎓 Faculty Friday: Meet Dr. Justin Brent! 🎓

“I love my job. I think it’s a privilege to be able to teach at a place like this.”

For 25 years, Dr. Justin Brent has embraced the many opportunities that come with being a professor at a liberal arts college. From his early work as a medievalist to his current research focused on strengthening rural communities, his journey has continued to evolve alongside his passion for learning.

After discovering medieval studies in graduate school, Dr. Brent spent years researching the Middle Ages before looking for opportunities to make his work more collaborative and community-focused. At Presbyterian College, he found an environment that allowed him to grow as both an educator and a scholar.

“The smaller liberal arts college has allowed me to evolve significantly in terms of my research.”

Today, much of Dr. Brent’s research focuses on Clinton and other small, rural communities, exploring transportation, urban design, and community development. Through partnerships with nonprofits and grant-funded projects, he works to help create environments where communities can grow and thrive.

That spirit of community extends into his classroom, where Dr. Brent hopes to incorporate more service learning into his courses. He believes hands-on experiences can help students see the relevance and purpose behind what they learn.

And if you’ve spent much time around campus, you may know Dr. Brent by his bike—often riding to PC or around Clinton—or by his preference for walking barefoot. 🚲

Thank you, Dr. Brent, for 25 years of teaching, research, community engagement, and showing Blue Hose students the many ways a liberal arts education can make an impact! 💙
