Upcoming Events

A panel of volunteer students will discuss their academic journeys before and during their time at Peninsula College, highlighting achievements, obstacles, and the barriers they've navigated—with or without the support of accommodations.

Join us on Zoom: Meeting ID: 892 6765 4239

Local cougars on the Olympic Peninsula are among the most inbred and genetically impoverished in the Pacific Northwest. They are also among the most conflict-prone populations in Washington, resulting in high levels of lethal removal by state wildlife agents following losses of poorly protected livestock in people’s backyards. How then, can we improve the conservation status of local cougars?

The annual ASC Pumpkin Carving Contest invites PC students to come to the PUB and carve a pumpkin to put on their porch and possibly win a prize. The pumpkins and tools are provided. When you've completed your pumpkin, the ASC will take a photo and will judge the photos after 3 p.m. and then notify the winners.

Special thanks every year to Sunny Farms in Sequim for donating the pumpkins!

Go Trick Or Treating between classes and enjoy the American tradition, even as a grown up! Start at the ASC Office, where they'll give you a map of participating offices. Have fun!

Break out your costume and wear it to school, or throw it on just for the event. It's fun to see all the costumes and three of them will go home with a gift card for $50, $30 or $20! We'll have snacks for everyone. Happy Halloween!

Join us for a presentation with artist Molly Troxler, who is Jamestown S’Klallam, Skokomish, and Squaxin Island. Molly is the current ʔaʔkʷustəŋáw̕txʷ House of Learning, Peninsula College Longhouse Guest Artist. During this artist lecture, she will share her inspirations, artistic style, and connections to family. 

All all are welcome to view a collective of her artwork, which will be exhibited in the Longhouse. 

My Heart is Good is an oral history of treaty rights told by Port Gamble S'Klallam elder and former tribal chair Ron Charles in his own words, with historic context and background provided by anthropologist Josh Wisniewski. My Heart is Good follows the history of the Port Gamble S’Klallam people from treaty signing, through the 1974 Boldt Decision and the subsequent 1994 court decision affirming the shellfish harvesting rights (Rafeedie Decision), to the growth of the modern S'Klallam commercial fishing fleet today.

Roundtable discussion with Peninsula College faculty, staff, and administrators on their experiences in the military.

It's one of our most popular events of the year. The balls are light and squishy, you'll be on teams of 6-8, and you'll have a blast. Register at the ASC Office the week prior. Come early to put on your blacklight paint and tape.

Several decades ago, Alice Derry and Fred Sharpe began a project to write text for drawings of native plants he had inked over many years. They hardly knew each other when they began, and although they both tried to make the partnership work, they eventually realized that both their lifestyles and their goals for the writing were too far apart to continue. More years passed.
