    Meliza @ Diversions and Other Distractions An Evening of One-Act Plays (Blackbox Theater)

    Amazing show. Not only were the actors absolutely amazing and hilarious, the set, stage, and lights were beautiful! This was my first time ever seeing a PGCC play, and I'm eager to see more of them soon.

    Scholarship Night #2- Fall 2023
    Scholarship Night #2- Fall 2023

    A very educational meeting that focused on ways to combat toxic masculinity and how to actively normalize healthy masculinity as well as healthy relationships/consent. I really appreciated how the speakers built a safe environment and made every student comfortable enough to share their own thoughts. I learned a lot about building healthy relationships.

    Meliza @ W.O.W. Academic Success Managing Academic Anxiety (Hybrid)

    Very educational. Honestly, I joined the meeting because I wanted to learn more about coping with anxiety, and I did. At first I thought I would get bored because I felt I wouldn't be hearing any new methods, any new strategies, or just wouldn't be able to relate because of how extreme my anxiety can get. I learned a lot of new methods to come down from a panic attack in situations like testing, or class, and most importantly, focus enough and calm myself enough to be able to finish whatever I'm working on.

    University of Maryland - Prepare for Transfer

    It was a motivating and educational meeting. I had decided I wouldn't be applying to UMD but after hearing about the MTAP program I reconsidered. They helped me get over a lot of fears I had about applying.

    Meliza @ WOW Wellness Group Session #1

    This event was really reassuring and educational. I've been feeling a lot of school-related anxiety, and it touched on many points that helped comfort and motivate me. I learned a lot about self-value, and how I can take care of myself in order to have a healthy and successful school year. I also appreciated being able to relate to other members' situations and reactions.

    Scholarship Night #1- Fall 2023

    Scholarship Night #1 was an enjoyable and educational event where we talked about credit, savings, and how what we do with our money will impact our future. I was able to ask a few extra questions and get responses that would have been hard to find without this meeting. Overall, I had lots of fun and connected with other students and some staff. I learned a lot about credit and savings, and I'm happy I attended.

    Meliza @ SheThrives: Women of Wisdom Fall 2023 Mixer

    The Fall 2023 mixer was so exciting! I met so many wonderful students that I connected with by sharing our responses to the icebreaker questions. Everyone was so nice, thoughtful, and energetic. I learned a lot about what Women of Wisdom will be doing this semester and have never felt more welcomed into a program.

    Meliza @ WOW Special Dignitary President Joe Biden on Campus

    Seeing President Joe Biden's speech in person was pretty exhilarating. Our senators and governor were also there, and watching them light up the room with smiles and applause was wonderful. Not only did I get to talk to members of the Secret Service, I also got to meet many wonderful teachers and staff members of PGCC who cared about my interests. The event was worth waiting almost 2 hours for.

    UTC vs Largo Kickball Game

    The UTC vs. Largo Kickball game was so wonderful! I met so many new amazing people and even got to play. Honestly, I'm not very good, but having fun with friends was what made this event enjoyable and totally worth the sunburn!
