Are you interested in exploring your future career plans and what PCC has to offer?  

We understand it might have been a while since you were on campus or you may have been fully online. In either case, we would like to invite you for a day of empowerment and exploring resources on campus. We will have career guest speakers, counselors, success coaches and many more support systems in person for you. Our network of care will introduce themselves and have fun activities to help with career inquiry. We will have prizes, swag bags, scavenger hunts, photo booths, vision boards and so much more to remind you of the joys our campus has to offer. Lastly, you can expect to have a follow up conversation with at least one PCC representative to help guide you through your career inquiries.

Guest Speaker: Natacha M. Cesar-Davis, PHD

Fusce lacinia arcu et nulla. Nulla vitae mauris non felis mollis faucibus.

Dr. Cesar-Davis is a committed practitioner and scholar with over ten years of experience in higher education. Natacha has been a counselor, academic coach, professor, researcher, and administrator across several institutions that ranged from community colleges to large research universities. Beginning her work at her Alma Mater, Boston College, Natacha has worked to address the omnipresence of structural racism in most post-secondary institutions. Natacha has diligently sought to foster environments where students like her can find support and success in their quest for self-actualization. Coming from another country at 10, Natacha experienced early in her life different forms of racism that exist in the educational system in the US. This unjust reality has fueled Natacha's passion for demanding that institutions bolster their commitment to Black and Brown students and not only meet their needs but continue to strive to dismantle destructive policies that can inhibit their success. As a practitioner, Natacha has advocated for holistic services that center on the need for community and all students' physical and mental health, particularly historically underserved students. In her scholarship, Natacha uses contextual frameworks to examine how ethnic identity development impacts Black/Latinx students' search for their vocational identity and, in turn, how institutions can help them along this process. In her recent role as grant administrator, Natacha has allocated funds to develop workshops that examine pedagogical biases embedded in STEM classrooms. In doing this, Natacha aims to eliminate the barriers that can threaten the entrance of minoritized students into STEM paths. In addition to her professional endeavors, Natacha is a dedicated mother of two boys, wife to her college sweetheart Wesley, daughter to her beloved parents, and sister to six wonderful human beings.
