Your Gift Made an Incredible Difference on PCC’s Big Give Day! 

Thanks to your support, we’ve strengthened and expanded scholarships and programs at PCC — including the ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program.

We were able to fund over 46 academic noncredit ESOL classes and provide over 7 scholarships to ESOL credit students.

Many of our ESOL students are new to the country and juggling jobs, family, and school — all while navigating a new language. Your support is helping them gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed, support their families, and contribute meaningfully to our shared community.

As we build on this momentum, your involvement remains essential. Whether through advocacy, volunteering, or continued giving, you play a vital role in removing financial barriers for Portland Community College students. If you’d like to learn more about the impact of your support or ways to stay involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the success of our students and programs. We truly appreciate you!

With gratitude, 

Luciana Diniz
ESOL Instructor
Sylvania/Newberg ESOL Department Chair

P.S. We have BIG news — our next Big Give Day is moving to March 4-5, 2026. Save the date and stay tuned for more updates.
