RE-ELECT JIM HARPER TO THE PORTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD
Portland Community College has much to offer our community. It provides a place where students can earn an associate degree and get started on their pursuit of a four year education. PCC caters to individuals who are interested in professional technical education, helping them both to learn different skills and to improve existing ones. The College can be a lifeline for displaced workers starting new careers and a second chance for adults to gain basic literacy skills. PCC is also a wonderful asset for those who view learning as a never-ending journey.
“I have the experience and dedication to insure the College continues providing accessible and affordable education opportunities.”
Jim is endorsed by community leaders, including Vera Katz, State Senator Margaret Carter, and Roy Jay.
