Green Fee?

Did you know you pay a Green Fee?

In 2010 students voted on a .31 per credit hour green fee. This fee is used to fund PPCC’s first sustainability coordinator. This position was created entirely by the students, and is uniquely housed in Campus Life. This effort shows what a group of people can get done with a common goal.
