Emily Mahood, coordinator of Student Activities, left PJC on Sept. 25, after she was offered a job as the coordinator of Student Development at the Art Institute of Atlanta.
Randall Broxton, sponsor of the Jared Sparks Historical Society of Pensacola Junior College, commemorated the 194th anniversary of the Battle of Baltimore at the first walking tour of the 08/09 season.
People across the world are crying for a greener society, but what does that mean to us? What does that mean to the PJC student? How can we help to make a greener world when some of us can’t even decide what major to select? The faculty at PJC was asked the same question at the beginning of this school year, and their answer was to implement a program that could involve every PJC student in every major to help green the world. The name of the program is called, “60 Seeds: Environmental and Economic Sustainability.”

The start of this new fall semester marks the one year anniversary of the newly reformed Literary Roundtable.

The club plans to release the 2008 edition of “ISSUE” Noon Sept. 4 at the pavilion outside of building 5, with additional tables set up in the Allen Liberal Arts Building (Building 4) and the Anna Lamar Switzer Center for the Visual Arts (Building 15).

At 20,000 square feet, it’s the second largest salon in all of Northwest Florida. It caters to more than 100 customers a week and continues to grow its clientele simply from word of mouth. It’s not your typical hair salon. All services are done by students.
For more than 30 years customers have entrusted themselves to PJC cosmetology students for low-cost manicures, pedicures, waxes, and hairstyles. Today there are about 4,000 customers in the salon’s database, according to Larry Gardner, department head of professional service careers.
