English Division Mission Statement
 The primary mission of the English Division is to provide a core curriculum
for students to be successful in attaining their educational goals.
The Division's longstanding commitment to student excellence and success
is exemplified in all five of its programs: The
Writing Center, Literature,
Reading, Composition,
and Creative
Writing . The Division provides the core language curriculum
for all certificate, degree, and transfer students at PCC and incorporates
an appreciation and understanding of diversity in all of its five major
programs. In alignment with the college's mission statement, these
Divisional programs are instrumental in assisting PCC's students in achieving
success and furthering their scholarship at four-year colleges or universities,
attaining professional and vocational careers, and/or pursuing activities
of personal creative development. The Division is also committed
to providing equity for all student populations by addressing the many
learning styles of students through various pedagogical approaches. Finally,
through composition, reading, and literature, the Division works to develop
and enhance the critical thinking skills of all students in English programs.
I
hope you will take some time to explore our website and get to know more
about what we can offer you. As the Division Dean, I am very proud of
what we provide our students and our community, and I am committed to
supporting the English programs, students, and faculty. Let us be a resource
for you.
