PCOM is proud to celebrate 125 years of service through a whole-person approach. As we count down our final 125 days of our anniversary year, we're celebrating the momentous achievement with three months of community service.
Through the end of the year, PCOM offices and student groups will be hosting a variety of community events that not only demonstrate our commitment to serving our local communities but also underscore our mission of igniting outreach and change throughout our city.
