Phoenix College student Ashley Aguilera took part in a study abroad program this past summer, traveling to England, Scotland, and France.

“The trip impacted me greatly,” says Ashley. “After living in Europe for a month, I feel a great need to expand my knowledge of other cultural groups. I plan to travel to more countries throughout my educational journey, not as a vacation but as learning opportunities, to connect and serve. I’m still figuring out which career to pursue, as I want it to be something that matches my interests and allows me to serve people worldwide.”

The Greg M. Adams Study Abroad Fellowship is established to help Phoenix College students participate in Phoenix College and/or Maricopa Community College sanctioned study abroad opportunities: https://ow.ly/wbXj50Q9wP5

This is PC ACE Alumna Diana Lee Guzman, the Founder and CEO of Coding in Color, a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to support underrepresented students in computing.

Diana says, "Being a part of Phoenix College's ACE program has been fundamental to my college success and in turn, helped prepare me to take on a career that I love and am passionate about! When I was in ACE, I took courses such as BIO 101, CRE 101, ENG 101 and ENG 102 and they all transferred as college credits when I officially enrolled into university. Additionally, I had professors that made me excited about what I was learning and they cared about my education. My ACE professors continue to support me to this day."

How often are we really able to slow down these days? How often do we give ourselves permission to take a few deep breaths and just sit and observe what is happening around us? These are some of the questions Art faculty Jay Hardin asked when he began his sabbatical in Fall 2021. What he discovered after a six-week online mindfulness class with Holly Cluff, a Koru-certified instructor from Tucson, is that mindfulness does wonders for the creative mind.

Mindful Arts: Taiko Drumming and Drawing is being offered on Friday, November 3, 2023, from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. in PC’s Band Room, M104. The $45 non-credit workshop is open to students, faculty, staff, and community members. No experience in drumming or drawing is required.
