POPLARVILLE - A grant from the Lower Pearl River Valley Foundation will allow Pearl River Community College to present two free programs to students and the public during the 2017-18 year.

The $30,000 grant funds the Dr. William A. Lewis Honors Institute Lyceum Lecture Series, beginning with an Oct. 17 presentation by undersea explorer Dr. Robert Ballard.

“The Lower Pearl River Valley Foundation has provided outstanding opportunities for our faculty, staff and students over the years,” said Dr. Adam Breerwood, PRCC president. “The Dr. William A. Lewis Honors Institute lecture series is one of the most anticipated events on our campus each fall and would not be possible without the support of the LPRVF.”
