Pierce College joins ranks of national nonprofit

The Pierce College District, which comprises Pierce College Puyallup and Pierce College Fort Steilacoom, recently was inducted into the ranks of the Achieving the Dream nonprofit organization — a compendium of 200 colleges nationwide dedicated to closing the achievement gap at colleges and increasing student success.

“We are excited,” said Michele Johnson, chancellor of the Pierce College District. “We care about what happens to our students, and this is just one more opportunity."
