Did you know that Paris Junior College – in Greenville, Paris, and Sulphur Springs – plays a role in your life, even if you do not have a child nearing college age? All the ways PJC affects local people, businesses, and the regional economy have led the College to ask them to attend an upcoming listening session for their views on the future of PJC.
“Paris Junior College trains the people who save your life in an emergency, take care of you and your loved ones at the hospital or nursing home, manage local businesses, run manufacturing facilities, fix your air conditioning, work on the airplane you fly in, or weld the trailer you use,” said Dr. Stephen Benson, Paris Junior College president. “There are so many ways PJC affects your life, and that’s why we want you to help shape PJC’s future by attending one of listening sessions.”
Paris Junior College will hold three listening sessions at 7:00 p.m. to gather ideas from the public. The first is on Tuesday, February 11 at the PJC – Greenville Center at 6500 Monty Stratton Blvd. in Greenville; the second is on Tuesday, February 18 at the PJC – Sulphur Springs Center at 1137 Loop 301 East in Sulphur Springs; and the third is on Wednesday, February 19 in the Math and Science Building on the Paris campus at 2400 Clarksville St.
“We invite you to come enjoy light refreshments and share your ideas,” said Benson. “We want to make PJC even better – together.”
There is also still time to take a very important online community survey prior to attending a listening session. Those responses are helping to shape the listening sessions. Please go to https://www.parisjc.edu/strategic-plan-survey.html and tell PJC what you think.
