While we took part in our first week of school, we also celebrated the final week for a beloved member of Paradise 💙

After 22 years of amazing service at Paradise Valley Community College (PVCC), Student Life Director Mike Ho retired last Thursday from the institution. Mike was the ultimate connection for our students, helping them discover themselves as well as opportunities both on and off campus. The events and programs that he helped create will continue to benefit students for generations to come.

We send out a heartfelt thank you to Mike for everything he did to positively impact our students and our campus, and we wish him only the best in his next chapter!

The first week of school was magic ✨

We were so excited to see all of the smiling faces back on campus this past week. It was a blast to put on New Student Orientation, greet students at welcome tents, serve waffles, and so much more during the first five days of the semester.

We have a feeling that this will be one of the best school years yet - welcome back Pumas!
