PASCO-HERNANDO STATE COLLEGE
From the President Spring 2024
Dear Friends :
It is with joy and a great sense of responsibility that I greet you as the new President of Pasco- Hernando State College . It is truly the honor of a lifetime to lead this great institution and follow the good works of the prior presidents of PHSC . It is rare in American higher education to find an institution that has had only four presidents in more than five decades of service . The stability and dedication indicated by this fact are among the many reasons why my wife , Nayeli , and I are delighted to put down roots in this area and why I am honored to serve the PHSC community as president .
Having arrived as President-Elect on January 8 and commenced my duties as President on February 1 , the Spring 2024 semester roughly aligns with my first 90 days in office and the deliberate , strategic and comprehensive listening upon which I am focusing during this period . My “ Listening Tour ” will give me the opportunity to hear directly from most College employees , many students , donors , alumni , elected officials and other community leaders from across Hernando and Pasco Counties . The goal of this effort is to deeply comprehend the essence of the College : its past , present , strengths , challenges , opportunities and culture . From the vantage point of this acquired knowledge , I will be positioned to work collaboratively with others to plot PHSC ’ s course forward .
I could not be more grateful to those who have entrusted me with this great responsibility . We have a highly dedicated and adept District Board of Trustees whose oversight is critical and whose support I felt from the first day . The students , faculty and staff welcomed me generously , and their warmth has been uplifting .
I look forward to meeting you all over time and linking arms in the great and noble work of higher education for our communities .
Sincerely ,
Jesse Pisors , Ed . D . PHSC President
