This academic year, our theme is “Teamwork and diversity.” One of the wisest

history
stated,
“A
cord
of
three
strands
is
not
quickly
broken.” In other words, there is strength in numbers and in teams. COVID19 is one of the greatest threats to our world. It has made it abundantly clear
that
we
need

and
that
positive

is
indispensable. In that regard, students will be challenged to understand more

Therefore,
we

are
this
year,
committed
to
helping each student to make the most of their time in PEP. The program is not meant to compete with the academic and professional responsibilities of
participants.
We
wish
to
provide
each
student
with
the
skills
and
resources that will help them succeed in their future career. In short we are committed to stand with them and work with them as teammates.
Sincerely, Lulrick Balzora, PhD Dean of the Social Behavioral Sciences & Human Services Broward College

MAXIMIZE THROUGH "TEAMWORK & DIVERSITY" THEME A wise man taught, “A cord of three is not easily broken.” In other words, each individual strand is stronger when bound together in unity - into one cord. That is a great metaphor for the power of "team diversity".
