Thank you Alumni!

Many thanks to all of you who made the 2011 Alumni Weekend a complete success!

On Friday, October 7th, PNCA held its Fifth Annual Alumni Weekend celebration. With well over 70 guests attending the dinner, and over 100 alumni and community members attending Malia Jensen’s Homecoming Address, it was a truly memorable event!

Thank you all so much for coming back to PNCA to reconnect with old friends and the school.

We also provided an oral history booth to record alumni memories of their times at PNCA, as well as the opportunity to sign up for our new Alumni Mentorship Program, which connects alumni mentors with PNCA students seeking guidance from those who have gone before them. We still want your oral histories! Please email or call us to let us know if you are interested.

It is not too late to sign up as an Alumni Mentor, and we would love to get as many interested alumni involved as possible! It’s a great way to stay connected to PNCA and to provide a valuable growth opportunity for aspiring professional artists. For more information, go to:
