Through rain and shine the Poplarville campus of Pearl River Community College was buzzing with excitement this weekend as over 750 new and returning Wildcats settled into their new homes in the dorms for the semester.

In true Wildcat Way fashion faculty, staff, and administrators were waiting for them with dollies, carts and a helping hand to get them out of the heat or rain and into their rooms.

The people of Poplarville showed up in force at Ramey’s Marketplace, Friday, August 16, for the food drive benefitting Pearl River Community College’s food pantry, The Market.

The college’s Faculty and Staff Association organized the event along with Ramey’s Marketplace of Poplarville. The faculty and staff organization made collecting donations for The Market one of its first priorities after starting off the year under the direction of the new association president, Lonnie Burchell. 

Pride. Respect. Class. Character.  The Wildcat Way. These are the principles upon which Pearl River Community College was built. Over the past year, the Wildcat Way thread has continued to weave itself throughout the culture of the institution. While many of its students face insurmountable challenges in order to make it to one of its three locations for the first day of classes, they continue not only to survive but thrive. Faculty and staff have embodied the Wildcat Way by implementing it in their instruction and embracing student’s challenges like never before. 

Pearl River Community College Hancock Center was recognized as one of Hancock County’s 2019 Businesses of the Year at the Annual Salute to Business & Industry Awards Gala, Thursday, August 8th. 

“The recognition by the Hancock Chamber of Commerce as the 2019 Waveland Business of the Year is a testament to the dedicated work of the PRCC Hancock Center Team,” said Raymunda Barnes, Assistant Vice President of the Hancock Center.

Pearl River Community College President, Dr. Adam Breerwood, welcomed the faculty and staff at the 2019 professional development session, using a team atmosphere, with the theme Fill Your Cup. 

During his welcome, he used the analogy of mountain climbing and the many team members it takes to reach the summit. Often climbers stop halfway ready to give up their goal but surrounded by a strong team an explorer can find success.

The small class of five said they had become very close during their time in the program and were excited to be celebrating together with their friends and family. 

Pearl River Community College celebrated the 2018-19 Licensed Practical Nursing graduates in the Ethel Holden Brownstone Center Tuesday, July 30th.  

Family, friends, and fellow Wildcats cheered as the students walked across the stage to receive their pins. 

“We think of it as a family degree,” said one LPN student’s mother, “because it really is a group effort to make it possible.”

PRCC congratulates all graduates and looks forward to the bright futures of these impressive Wildcats.
