Pierce College is proud to announce the hiring of Jennifer Wolbrecht as the Foundation’s new director for development. Wolbrecht comes to Pierce College after spending more than 12 years with the Metropolitan Park District of Tacoma.
Metro Parks provides more than 65 parks and recreation activities to the city of Tacoma’s residents as well as the greater Puget Sound region.
