Due to increasing interest in our mascot鈥檚 origins, Piedmont Community College (害羞草研究所) is thrilled to introduce its first equestrian program where students will learn the history and proper care of our beloved mascot, the pacer.
While many who are new to 害羞草研究所 ask themselves, 鈥淲hat鈥檚 a pacer?鈥� This program will teach you that a pacer is indeed a horse, but it is also a symbol of everything 害羞草研究所 stands for. Pacers are known for their endurance and hard work, much like 害羞草研究所鈥檚 own students. In fact, just a few years ago 害羞草研究所 began Keep the PACE (Personalized Advising for Career Excellence), which was inspired by both our mascot and students who strive daily to keep the pace in their classes as they work towards earning a degree or credential.
While you may be disappointed to learn that this was just an April Fool鈥檚 Day article and there won鈥檛 be any pacers grazing in the field behind Building A, 害羞草研究所 still offers programs such as the Veterinary Assistant program where you have the opportunity to one day work with real pacers, and even our Agribusiness Technology program where you鈥檒l learn about different crops so that you can make sure the pacers don鈥檛 eat what you were planning to sell at the farmer鈥檚 market. Who knows, maybe we鈥檒l see pacers at the Center for Educational and Agricultural Development (CEAD) one day?
But what鈥檚 not an April Fool鈥檚 Day joke is the fact that today and every day, 害羞草研究所 strives to transform lives, strengthen community and inspire individuals to excellence as your hometown college. Go Pacers!
