Student Spotlight – July 2022

What is your program of study? 

My program of study is Information Technology. 

Why did you choose PTC? 

I chose PTC because it was local. I didn’t want to be too far away from family. 

I only have one club so far, the Rainbow Alliance 

Who is your role model(s)? 

My role models in my life would have to be my father and bill gates. My father was the one who introduced me to computers and taught me, and I’ve always looked up to Mr. Gates because of his philanthropy. 

What Diversity and Inclusion mean to you? 

Diversity and inclusion mean a bit to me. Diversity, to me, means that everyone should be able to be themselves, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. The inclusion part of Diversity and Inclusion, to me, means that we should treat everyone with kindness and include them in whatever events may be going on. 

How is DEI demonstrated at PTC? 

This is reflected at PTC by the staff and the students. The staff listen to everyone when they have a question or concern, and actively try their best to adapt to each student’s situation. The students are very tolerant of other peoples’ backgrounds and actively try to include others whenever possible.
