Emily Mahood, coordinator of Student Activities, left PJC on Sept. 25, after she was offered a job as the coordinator of Student Development at the Art Institute of Atlanta.
“In the last 5 years, I’ve felt like I’ve become a part of this big PJC family, and it breaks my heart to go,” Mahood said.
She said it was hard for her to hold back the tears when she said “goodbye” to her students and co-workers.
During her time at PJC, Mahood took on the Rape Risk Reduction program to educate students on rape and what to do if it happens. She was also the volunteer facilitator on campus. In May 2008, she took on the role of Student Activities coordinator.
Mahood said she learned a lot while working at PJC and had experiences that could never be replaced.
She attended Florida State University, and received a bachelor’s degree in education. After that, Mahood received a master’s degree in education from the University of West Florida during the spring of 2008.
Angie Jones, the assistant coordinator of Student Activities, said
Mahood will be missed and “no one can ever replace her drive to help
students.”
Mahood said, “I might be moving on to bigger and better things, but nothing can ever replace my time here at PJC.”
