PCC Hosts Luncheon for Endowment Donors
PCC held its annual meeting of
bi-weekly donors to the PCC Endowment Fund on December 28, 2006 at the PCC
Courtyard. The turnout for this once-a-year event was tremendous as over 100 plus
people joined PCC in celebrating the dedication and support of so many donors
who donate to the College on a weekly basis. During the event, bi-weekly donors
were greeted by Dr. Patrick Tellei, PCC President, who thanked all the donors
for supporting the College. Afterwards, donors were treated to a delicious
lunch and raffle drawing with many of them leaving with wonderful prizes and
smiles on their faces as the event was filled with cheer and warm laughter.
This annual meeting hosted by the College is an opportunity for PCC to express its
gratitude to all donors who have made |

As we move towards the beginning of a wonderful new year full of opportunity, PCC would like to take a moment to acknowledge the exceptional students who have excelled academically throughout the 2006 school year. The College would like to congratulate the fourteen (14) students who made the 2006 President's List with a Fall semester Grade Point Average of 4.00, the two (2) students who made the High Honor List with a GPA of 3.80 3.90, and the twenty-nine (29) students who made the Honor List with a GPA of 3.50 3.79. It is a testament of your hard work and dedication that you all have achieved such an academic accomplishment and have thus set yourselves as role models for your peers to emulate during the upcoming new year. The College congratulates all of you for a job well done, and we are all very proud of you! |

PCC Conducts Recruitment Drive The PCC Recruitment Team launched
its recruitment tour or visit to all the high schools in Palau during the month
of December 2006. The recruitment team comprised of personnel from
Admissions & Financial Aid and an Associate
Dean from Academic Affairs. The purpose of the visit was to meet with seniors
and discuss programs and services and distribute admissions application forms
to prospective applicants. We then assisted interested students in completing
their admissions application forms. Because of this, we were able to immediately
collect a total of one hundred-fifty eight (158) applications for admissions during
our recruitment visits. Therefore, 65% of the total seniors (244) from all the high
schools in Palau have shown interest in attending PCC during the coming School Year
2007-2008. We will continue to contact those students who have not filled
applications and encourage them to enroll at PCC.
The table below displays a summary of the applicants from each high school
within Palau.

It was stated that Ms. Peggy Hanser works at the Division of Job Placement, however, she currently works at Ngardmau State Government. Also, on the December 29, 2006 issue of Mesekiu, there was an error on the Alumni Section. Ms. Sorch Meyar did not graduate from PCC with a Certificate of Arts, but with a Certificate of Achievement in Criminal Justice. |
(Continued from page 1) such an incredible investment in the future of Palau's children. As of now there are over 1,000 bi-weekly donors who have collectively donated $110,753.25 to the PCC Endowment Fund for 2006. This is a very unique group of people and perhaps the biggest of its kind in Palau. As individuals, they donate a certain amount directly out of their paycheck to the PCC Endowment every two weeks. They do this because they believe that as the only institution of higher learning in Palau, PCC must receive the support from the community so that it can continue to provide for the educational and training needs of the nation and the surrounding region as well. PCC raffled away some wonderful prizes that had been donated by some very generous local corporate sponsors.

Some of the prizes that were given away included a Round trip ticket to Guam, an
air conditioner, a DVD player, hotel getaways, cell phones, beauty packages, and
much more. The Grand Prize Winner was Becheseldil Nakamura who won a round
trip ticket to Guam donated by Continental Airlines and a $250 cash prize. |
