PCC Foundation | Future Connect 15th Anniversary Celebration
Future Connect at 15
Celebrating 15 years of Student Success
Join us as we celebrate 15 years of Future Connect and the extraordinary community that has helped shape its success.
Since 2011, Future Connect has empowered thousands of students to pursue higher education with the support, guidance, and resources needed to thrive. What began as a bold partnership between Portland Community College and local cities has grown into a nationally recognized model for student success — one that continues to transform lives and strengthen communities across our region.
This special anniversary celebration will bring together alums, students, coaches, educators, civic leaders, and community partners to honor the impact of the past 15 years and look ahead to the opportunities still to come.
Throughout the evening, guests will hear inspiring stories from Future Connect alums, reflect on the program’s lasting impact, and celebrate the people whose vision and commitment have helped generations of students realize their goals.
