He’s not only the president
o f Portland Community College,
but Preston Pulliams is also a
customer.
P u llia m s , a re s id e n t o f
Beaverton, is a budding pho

“ I was ju st a point-and-shoot
kind o f guy that took pictures

so engaging.”
So how do his fe llo w class
mates and his instructors treat

“ I t ’ s been in te r e s tin g ,”
Pulliam s said. “ Students con

experience at the college and I
