Mark Hopkins has been with Pensacola State College for 21 years and counting. Before joining the college, Mark served in the U.S. Navy for 20 years and loved every day of it. Not only has he made an impact as the Graphic Design Program Coordinator in the Visual Arts Department at PSC, but he also served as the Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach and has volunteered his time on various committees. Mark has generously donated to PSC for 20 years because he loves and believes in our students. Here’s why Mark chooses to give back:
“My time spent as Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach for Coach Swanson, taught me how important it was to spend time with the players and get to know them outside of basketball. An example of that is advising players on what college to attend after their time with us. Serving others has always been important to me. Within the Visual Arts Department, taking students on field trips to learn more about the profession of graphic design is always time well spent. The students come back with a different approach to their classroom assignments. Most will email me letting me know how important their time was in the classroom and how it relates to their current jobs. I love it!”
