Hi there! I'm Allie and my major is Associates of Applied Science in Medical Assisting. I'm starting at PPSC and planning to transfer to Pueblo Community College and attend their Sonography program. After college I want to work in a private practice as an ultrasound tech! I love the PPSC environment. My biggest advice to new students is to get involved!
I'm Juan and I am an international student. I am currently majoring in Computer Science and I plan to transfer to UCCS in about a year. My favorite thing about PPSC is how easy it is to find help if you ever have difficulties in a class whether it is through tutors or with your professor during office hours. One piece of advice that I give to new students is to always make friends because you are going to need them, especially in college!
I’m an education major and after college I want to become a high school geometry teacher! My favorite thing about PPSC are the classes. They’re small so I can always get one-on-one time with my professor if I’m struggling. I became an ambassador to get more involved on campus, to make friends - and to help provide information about Pikes Peak State!
I'm Ismael! I'm going for economics as my major. I would love to transfer to UCCS after I finish at PPSC and then go back to my country. My favorite thing about PPSC are the teachers. They take time to get to know you and I feel like they genuinely want me to do well. My advice for new students is to make use of the resources available to us at PPSC like tutors and the Learning Commons!
