Whether you are new to our college or a continuing student, we are excited to embrace you as a valued member of the Phoenix College (PC) family. Since 1920, students like you have helped make Phoenix College one of the finest urban community colleges in the nation.

Phoenix College students reflect the rich diversity of our multicultural central city community, hailing from over 100 countries and speaking over 50 languages in addition to English, they are also diverse in age and life experience, with recent high school graduates learning alongside adults returning to college or acquiring new skills. Our faculty, staff, and students take great pride in the rich history, tradition and diversity that make Phoenix College truly unique among colleges in Arizona and the U.S.

PC offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, fellowship, and creative and intellectual expression. In addition to the myriad of clubs, performing groups, athletic teams and professional organizations already found here, the 2006-2007 academic year welcomes the launch of a new student council, a college newspaper, and an internet radio club!

I am confident that you will soon fill this calendar with many rich and rewarding experiences that will make the time you spend at Phoenix College a truly memorable passage in your life.

Warm regards,
Anna Solley, Ed.D.
President
