Favorite thing about Pikes Peak: I absolutely love the community that PPSC has to offer. From seeing the student perspective to working here - the students, staff, and faculty have a strong bond. I love seeing the interactions students have with each other and seeing the support staff offer to students is amazing.

Advice for students: Please use the resources offered to you, don't be afraid to ask questions, and throw yourself out there to new challenges. As a first-gen student myself, I understand the struggles of navigating college. However, PPSC has helped me in so many ways because of the resources offered and the activities that happen on campus!
Hello! I'm a studio art major here at PPSC and I plan to transfer to UCCS. I decided to become an ambassador to get myself out of my comfort zone, and my favorite thing about PPSC is how kind and ready to help everyone is. My advice for other students is to not set yourself up for failure! For example, if you know you're not a morning person, don't take morning classes (if possible, of course)!
I'm Desirae and my areas of study are Phlebotomy and an Associate in General Studies. I love reading, and I want to go to Ireland at least once in my life.

My advice to others is to be as informed as possible! Try to learn everything you can about what you want to do and what you want to learn.

I'm a Paralegal Major and I plan on going to Law School in the future. I want to work in Native American Law and Environmental Law.

I am a nursing major, and after college, I plan to become a travel nurse and explore new places. My favorite place in Colorado Springs is Old Colorado City- I love the small shops and local restaurants. I became a student ambassador because I want to help support others since I didn't have guidance at first. College can be tough, but there's always help available if you know where to look.My favorite thing about PPSC is the welcoming community and the support the students receive.
Hello! I am a business major, planning to transfer to pursue marketing and project management. I enjoy connecting with and helping others start with their academic journey! My goal is to grow as a leader and build a future where I can bring creative ideas to life with passion and curiosity.

College comes with challenges, but progress happens when you take things one step at a time.
