College Days: Thanksgiving Schedule

Special days are designed for you to experience the excitement of College life first hand! High school seniors, juniors, and sophomores, as well as qualified high school graduates may attend for only $10 per student. You’ll discover that college life at PCC is more than classes—it’s people, special events, and fun times in a Christ-centered environment.

Take a look at what you can experience at College Days in the fall:

Campus Life

Experience life as a college student by staying in Residence Halls, eating meals on-campus with students, and attending any of the classes on campus during your visit. Teachers and students enjoy answering any questions you may have.

You’ll never be at loss for what to do on campus. The Sports Center provides a bowling alley, miniature golf, in-line and ice skating, wallyball, rock climbing wall, and in-door water park in addition to the swimming pool and tennis courts.

Praise Service and Thanksgiving Dinner

A favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the Praise Service, a program of drama, music, and Scripture focused on praising God. Later in the day, a traditional Thanksgiving meal is served, offered at three convenient times so other activities can still be enjoyed throughout the afternoon and evening. Whether students have family come spend the holiday with them or are away from loved ones, they still feel at home here by enjoying a full traditional turkey dinner on campus.

Turkey Bowl Men’s Soccer Championship

College Field becomes the hub of activity for the annual Turkey Bowl collegian soccer championship. There’s something for everyone, whether or not you’re a sports fan. During the soccer action, the crowd enjoys pizza, subs, cotton candy, and a variety of beverages while fellowshipping, visiting the alumni tent, and anticipating the always exciting half-time show—all provided by the Pan-Hellenic Committee and the Public Relations class. Each year, these student groups host the event, making it an exciting success.

Fine Arts Series

Directed and performed by PCC students, staff, and faculty, the Fine Arts Series exhibits exciting renditions of plays and musicals by Shakespeare, Gilbert and Sullivan, and Thornton Wilder to name a few.

Eagles vs. Alumni Basketball Game

Every year, the PCC Eagles challenge returning alumni to a basketball game where friendly competition often provides an exciting game.

Women’s Collegian Volleyball Championship

On Friday night, the Sports Center Arena welcomes the women’s collegian volleyball championship. It’s a heated match as these ladies compete for their collegian’s name on an engraved trophy to be put on display!

Nurses’ Lamp Lighting Ceremony

This service celebrates the sophomore nursing students’ acceptance into the nursing program and the beginning of their hospital clinical work. During the ceremony, nursing students light lamps reminiscent of the lamp Florence Nightingale used while caring for soldiers at night. These lamps signify the nurses’ tireless dedication and their responsibility as Christian nurses to be a light in their field.
