Repost 📚✨ Big shoutout to the amazing .library and its incredible staff! PCC Geography students are kicking off their undergraduate research projects, and we couldn’t do it without the library’s support.

From research sessions, instructor reserves, and access to scholarly databases, the library offers so many resources to help all students succeed. 🙌

Special thanks to librarian Josh Hughey for guiding our Geography students and helping them dive deep into research that matters. 🌍💡
