Pierce College Alum Wins Prestigious National Award
Stanley Flemming, 1997 Pierce College Distinguished Alumni and 2008 Outstanding Alumni Award recipient for the American Association of Community Colleges, has been in more than a few places and done more than a few things.
The osteopathic physician and surgeon helped found the city of University Place, traveled the world as a decorated officer in the U.S. Army, served the state of Washington as its first elected Native American state legislator, conducted ground-breaking AIDS research and was a candidate to be surgeon general of the United States - to list just a few of his accomplishments.
"If it hadn't been for community college, I never would have gone to college at all. I would not be who I am today without Pierce College."
