Crafting a partnership
Pensacola Junior College President Ed Meadows and McCollough Institute founder/chief executive officer
Dr. E. Gaylon McCollough announce a multi-faceted collaboration.
Meadows and McCollough solidified the partnership during an agreement signing and reception June 29 at the
McCollough Institute for Appearance and Health, located in the Craft Farms Coastal Golf Resort in Gulf Shores, Ala.
“This is an exciting day for me,” said McCollough, speaking to Gulf Shores officials and business leaders, a PJC
delegation and distinguished guests. “PJC’s students are among the best I have worked with, and they come into
the operating room ready to step right in.” About 20 PJC surgical tech students have completed clinical rotations
at the Institute since March.
“I am delighted to partner with a man of such international reputation,” Meadows said. “We plan to optimize
every opportunity — a comprehensive array of opportunities — the partnership provides.”
Partnership provisions include clinical site rotation internships for PJC students enrolled in medical and cosmetic
programs; collaboration with various PJC programs to engage students in work projects; Institute medical staff
providing lectures and advising the college about emerging medical workforce career training needs; PJC assisting
recruitment of graduates for employment at the Institute; collaboration with WSRE TV (the college’s PBS
station), PJC’s Continuing Education department and the Institute.
McCollough is a world renowned facial and nasal plastic surgeon. He is listed among the
“Best Doctors in America,” “America’s Top Plastic Surgeons” and the National Registry
of Who’s Who in America. He has served as the international president of the
largest specialty plastic surgery organization in the
world — the American Academy of Facial Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgery.

Board meets
The July Board of Trustees meeting is 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July
21, Building 7, room 736B, Pensacola campus.
Board nominates Andry
The Pensacola Junior College District
Board of Trustees announces its
nomination of Vincent Andry for the
2009 Association of Community College
Trustees Leadership Award.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush
appointed Andry to the PJC Board in
2003 and reappointed him in 2006.
During his six-year tenure, Andry served
as chair of the finance and facilities
committees, two terms as vice chair and
two terms as chair of the PJC Board.
Andry
Andry, supervisor of customer service
for the Pensacola electric utility Gulf Power, served on the PJC
Board during the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan, which struck
Pensacola and the Gulf Coast in September 2004. The force of
Ivan devastated all three PJC campuses; the college sustained
$18 million in facilities damage. Andry provided key leadership
in assisting with the repair and re-opening the college after only
six weeks following the hurricane.
In his second term as vice chair, Andry chaired the college’s
search committee for a new president. A 35-member committee,
composed of PJC faculty, staff and students, along with key
members of the Escambia-Santa Rosa county community, conducted
a national search for a new college leader.
Andry also provided leadership resulting in an expanded
mission and vision for the college to take steps toward becoming
a baccalaureate-degree granting institution.
In addition, he participated in ACCT legislative workshops in
Washington, D.C. and was active in the Florida Association of
Community Colleges Trustee Commission.
The Association of Community College Trustees is a non-profit
educational organization of governing boards, representing more
than 6,500 elected and appointed trustees who govern more than
1,200 community, technical and junior colleges in the United States.

Cuban American Association gives
HOSA national winners
Pensacola Junior College announces the Cuban American
Association of Pensacola awarded PJC student Mary Heuvelman
a $500 scholarship.
Heuvelman, who graduated summa cum laude from PJC in May,
received the scholarship for her art project on the Mariel Boatlift
of April 1980. The Mariel Boatlift was named for the northern
Cuban port, Mariel Harbor, from which thousands joined an
unprecedented exodus to the United States and was rooted in
Fidel Castro’s announcement that anyone who wanted to leave
Cuba could do so.
As a PJC Robinson Honors Scholar, Heuvelman studied in
Europe; she was also selected as PJC’s department of History/
Languages/Philosophy 2009 scholar. This summer, Heuvelman is
studying Spanish in Costa Rica before attending Franciscan
University, Steubenville, Ohio, as a Spanish major in the fall.

Ward at 484-1437, zward@pjc.edu.
