We’re proud to share that Pasadena City College has been named a 2026 Pathway Champion of Transfer by The Campaign for College Opportunity! ❤️💛

Today, PCC was recognized for awarding the greatest number of Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs), helping students pursue bachelor’s degrees through a streamlined transfer pathway.

During the 2024–25 academic year, more than 1,500 PCC students earned an ADT and moved on to a four-year university. This achievement reflects the dedication of our faculty and staff for helping students navigate the transfer process, overcome barriers and reach their goals.

We’re honored to be recognized during National Transfer Week and will keep working to make transfer pathways clearer and more accessible for Lancers!

We are incredibly proud of Ducien, who will be speaking at tomorrow’s event to share his story and the impact that support systems like PCC and United Way can have on students working toward a better future.

United Way of Greater Los Angeles continues to be a valued partner in PCC’s Skills to Rebuild Initiative, helping provide critical resources and financial support for our students and community.

Thank you to United Way and the Los Angeles Rams for shining a light on stories like Ducien’s and for supporting students across our region. 💛
