Thirty-two Pan Am students attended a 3-day leadership-training weekend at Mo Ranch February 14-16.  The training was part of the Environmental Leadership Program (ELP), a hands-on outdoor environmental education program. 

The goals of the ELP Program are to promote growth in group cooperation and leadership skills, to promote a sense of community involvement, to develop environmental awareness and an understanding of responsible management of our natural resources and to provide an opportunity for spiritual growth through reflection in a natural environment, free from many of society's daily distractions.

 Students participated in a variety of fun team-building activities, including the ropes course.  Thank you, Mo Ranch staff, for everything you did to make this opportunity possible for our students!

  

The PPAS Board of Trustees met on campus for the first meeting of 2015 on February 6-7.  Patricia Hsu Payan (PPAS Class of 1986) will serve as Board Chair, with Kim Warner

 Board members also welcomed their newest

member, Robert "Rob" Uribe.  Rob is a 1966 graduate of Pan Am, and he and his wife, Aurora live in San Antonio.

In addition to routine business and committee meetings, board members toured the student center construction site and also enjoyed a BBQ dinner together in Kingsville on Friday evening. The Board of Trustees will meet on campus again in May 2015 in conjunction with graduation ceremonies.
