    ReFresh Session (4th session)

    The three advisors(they are not advisors but more like coordinators) went over the same thing they went over my first year, and they told me about the changes to the promise scholarship.

    End of Semester Meeting [Mandatory] (Friday)

    The end of semester Special Scholarships Program meeting was helpful and informative. I learned the key requirements to stay in good standing, including maintaining a 2.5 GPA or higher, avoiding any failing grades or withdrawals, and completing at least 15 engagement hours. I also found the reminder about submitting hours within 7 days important. It’s hard to believe the semester is already over it went by quickly. Congrats to all the graduates, and I’m looking forward to staying on track for next semester.

    Spring 25 End of Year Kickback

    I didn’t really know what to expect going in, but the kickback turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought. I ended up playing Jenga and even joined a group of people I hadn’t met before. It pushed me out of my comfort zone in a good way, and I’m glad I went. The food was great, the vibe was super chill, and it gave me a break from all the school stress. I’d definitely go to another one if they host it again.

    Borrow Smart, Succeed Big!: Funding Your Education Wisely (mini-session)

    This session really helped me understand how student loans work and how important it is to pay attention to the interest rates. I learned that even a small percentage can make a big difference in how much you end up paying back over time. It was eye opening to see examples of loan breakdowns and it made me realize how important it is to explore scholarships and other financial aid options early on. Overall, it was a useful and informative event.

    Buck Lodge Middle School AVID Campus Tour

    It was hard leading such a large group of 25 students, I learned that I am not adapted adequately to dealing with 6th graders. All around I showed them the campus, took them to lunch and took them to the Culinary Arts building then took them to the buses.

    SGA Town Hall/ Q&A meeting with PGCC's President

    Attending the SGA meeting with the president of PGCC schools was a valuable experience. It provided insight into ongoing initiatives and the direction of the college. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from leadership about student concerns and future plans. The discussion on campus resources, budget allocations, and student engagement efforts was particularly informative. Being part of a space where students could voice their questions and receive real-time responses helped me better understand how decisions are made. Overall, it was a great chance to stay involved and connect with the college community.
    Thanks for reading. -Gavin Fogwe
