''I am PSC'' 2025: Supporting Arts & Culture

Enriching Lives Through Creativity, Expression, and Shared Cultural Experiences

Celebrate Pensacola State College Founder’s & Giving Week! Each year, the “I am PSC” campaign brings together alumni, friends, faculty, and community partners to support the mission of Pensacola State College.

Your support reaches across the College, helping students succeed and programs thrive. Every gift—no matter the size—brings us closer to our goal.

This year, we invite you to make a direct impact by supporting Culinary or Arts and Culture—a vibrant part of our student experience and community engagement.
