Two Pratt Community College employees are committing to developing their personal and professional leadership skills as a part of Pratt Leadership 2000 plus. Megan Eaton, coordinator of marketing communications and community relations, and Stacey Davies, personnel assistant, recently began the Pratt leadership 2000 plus class. Eaton and Davies will be involved in one class a month from September to March. They will then complete a three day conference at the Kansas Leadership Center in Wichita, KS before graduating in May of 2017.

Pratt Community College received a new truck for its Electrical Power Lineman Program. During the summer they found a 1999 Freightliner Fl70 4x4 with an Altec TA41M bucket unit that will be used to assist students in gaining the skills needed for the workforce. Dave Campbell, Electrical Power Technology (EPT) instructor, purchased this truck through a company in Tennessee because of its great condition and lower mileage.

“Did you know that every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood?” said Natalie Bagley, American Red Cross representative. Bagley presented to Pratt Community College’s Phi Theta Kappa who are gearing up for their annual community blood drive to help fill this continuous need.

After working at the college for six years as a nursing instructor, Kim Hansen has been promoted to Director of Nursing.
 
Hansen is a graduate of Pratt Community College’s Nursing Program. She graduated from PCC in 2008 and has worked at Pratt Regional Medical Center before switching to nursing education in 2010. Hansen says that she truly enjoys the art of being a nurse and wants to help future nurses achieve their goals.
 

Pratt Community College is gearing up for the 2016 Relay for Life and invites all faculty, staff and students to participate. The event is scheduled for Friday August 19, 2016 at Zerger Field (Pratt High School) from 7 p.m. till 1 a.m.
