Pearl River celebrates Wildcat Awards

POPLARVILLE, Miss. — Pearl River Community College is celebrating its students through annual awards. 

“Pearl River Community College is happy to be able to recognize these well-deserving students,” Senior Vice President for Instruction/Provost Dr. Martha Lou Smith said. “While we might not be able to do things in the traditional manner, we are still honored to have these students become a part of the tradition known as PRCC.”

The inability to gather together didn’t stop the celebration as instructors created personalized videos that were sent to the students congratulating them on their achievements.
