Pratt Community College announces the Summer 2017 activity schedule for Club 62+ and invites eligible members of the public to participate. Club 62+ is a community organization for residents of Pratt, Kingman, Barber, Kiowa and Stafford counties who are 62 years of age and above.

There is no cost for membership in Club 62+ and benefits include access to exclusive programs and activities, free admission to home sporting events at the college, and waived tuition for any college course (fees and book costs still apply).

Two Pratt Community College employees are committing to developing their personal and professional leadership skills as a part of Pratt Leadership 2000 plus. Megan Eaton, coordinator of marketing communications and community relations, and Stacey Davies, personnel assistant, recently began the Pratt leadership 2000 plus class. Eaton and Davies will be involved in one class a month from September to March. They will then complete a three day conference at the Kansas Leadership Center in Wichita, KS before graduating in May of 2017.

The Delmar Riney Art Gallery welcomes a new exhibit to start off the New Year. Local photographer Elaine Ray is the first Featured Artist for 2016.

Ray is a native of Pratt and works from home in her own art studio. Ray is the on call photographer and social media manager for the City of Pratt Fire Department.

She studied art in high school and college, squeezing in as many art classes as possible and has continued taking classes at Pratt Community College, Vernon Filley Art Museum, attending various workshops, and online certification in interior design.

On Oct. 21, filmmaker Patrick Clement visited Pratt Community College to take part in a brown bag lunch and discussion of his film "Somewhere Between Freedom and Protection, Kansas." The lunch was attended by middle school, high school, college students, and PCC faculty and staff.
 

During the month of October, the Delmar Riney Art Gallery at Pratt Community College will display the work of featured artist Jodi Ray.

Ray’s collection features a mixture of art styles and media, including portraits, abstract images, and pencil drawings.
