Today at PAC

Here are some of the latest happenings by the fabulous faculty and staff at Palo Alto College:

Students enrolled in PAC’s Upward Bound Program received a presentation from author and Holocaust survivor Hanna Davidson Pankowsky, 78, in the Performing Arts Center today. The students are currently reading and discussing “The Diary of Anne Frank” and “Freedom Writers,” and the presentation offered a unique opportunity to gain insight into the books and the World War II atrocities from one of the few survivors of the Holocaust now living in San Antonio.

PAC adjunct Jackie Dansby has been named the new president of the San Antonio Women’s Celebration and Hall of Fame. The San Antonio’s Women’s Celebration began in 1984 as a result of then-Governor Mark White’s “Women in Texas Today” week. The San Antonio program was formalized in 1987 to recognize and honor outstanding women in the San Antonio community in various categories. Dr. Guzmán, PAC President, was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame in 2006.
