Due to unforeseen circumstances, all members of the Pima Community College (PCC) Governing Board will be attending the Board's March 8, 2023, Regular Meeting remotely. At the discretion of the Board Chair, PCC administrators and others making scheduled presentations to the Board may also be appearing remotely. Tonight's meeting will otherwise be conducted in a hybrid format as previously noticed, and members of the public may still attend in person at PCC's District Office, room C-105. During the "Public Comment-Call to the Audience" portion of tonight's meeting, public comments may still be made either remotely or in person. PCC staff will be on-site in room C-105 to assist members of the public attending in person who wish to address comments to the Board.

In an old love duet, a couple comes close to breaking up because of tiny differences in how they communicate: “You say tomato, I say to-mah-to . . .” (Spoiler alert: They vow to stay together.). The lyric humorously illustrates how subtle distinctions in communication can have a potentially big impact.

Or, for a more serious example, Google “Peloton wife.”

Pima’s Communication pathway is designed to teach aspiring communicators – in marketing, social media, corporate offices, and in the public sector – the importance of knowing and respecting their audiences. You will learn why cultural awareness and sensitivity is a necessity in crafting effective communications. Also, you’ll learn how to effectively speak to individuals and to groups, be they 10 or 100 people.
