REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2009-20

10Clatsop Community College

It is my pleasure to greet you and to join this community of individuals and businesses that care about Clatsop Community College and its students. And clearly I’ve arrived here at a significant point in time for the College and the community.

The new and renovated buildings on campus have created a dynamic learning environment and renewed energy for the work we do here. As Fall term begins and students fill the new classrooms and labs in Columbia and Towler Halls, the reward for the public and private investment in the campus becomes abundantly clear. Our students are learning in an environment designed to help them achieve their educational goals and assume their responsibilities as future citizens and leaders.

At the same time, Clatsop and all of Oregon’s colleges are facing extraordinary challenges. At a time when nationwide attention has focused on the importance of community college’s to the nation’s economy and community college enrollments have increased significantly, public funding for community colleges has not kept pace, in fact, in Oregon it has declined.

In the next few years, Clatsop expects a budget shortfall that will pose significant challenges. We are already planning how to meet those challenges. With creativity, hard work and disciplined choices, we will continue to provide the educational services our students and community need and deserve.

Just as the importance of community colleges to the nation’s economic strength will continue far into the future, funding community college operations will remain a challenge. Clatsop Community College confronts our challenges. In the same manner that we financed our redeveloped Jerome Campus – a combination of public support and private philanthropy. I’m convinced that this combination will be the basis of future success for community colleges, just as it has been for the nation’s universities.

Throughout this year, I hope to meet as many of you as possible, to discuss this and other ideas about how the college can continue to serve the community’s needs for educational opportunity, workforce training and lifelong learning. In the meantime, keep an eye out for CCC’s new web site coming this October, and you can follow my activities as your community college president on Facebook.

Message From The PRESIDENT

Did You KNOW?Dr. Larry Galizio is CCC’s 7th President. Since his appointment July 1, he and his wife, Janice O’Malley Galizio and son, Giovanni, have moved to Warrenton, Oregon, and are already becoming immersed in life on the North Coast. Even before coming to CCC, Dr. Galizio’s commitment to Oregon’s community colleges was well known, earning him the prestigious Howard Cherry Award in 2007 for his support of community colleges during his tenure as a state representative.

Throughout the year, the steady stream of equipment coming and going from CCC’s Jerome Avenue campus has made it pretty obvious to local residents and visitors that the college is busy building for the future. Visitors to our website have been able to follow construction progress via our webcam. Everyone who visits the campus agrees that the transformation is remarkable.

At the same time, in the background of all this noisy activity, the business of transforming lives through education has quietly continued. The everyday activities of building a learning community and serving students’ needs aren’t usually as obvious and rarely as dramatic as the events involved in the construction of a campus – no big, heavy equipment, no overnight landscaping, no hard hats and yellow tape – just the steady work of students dedicated to learning, faculty dedicated to helping them learn, and staff dedicated to supporting those efforts. But the transformations that result are just as remarkable.

n the pages that follow, we’ve turned our camera on those everyday activities, just as we turned a webcam o construction of our campus. Long after the construction crews have gone, this is the work that will continue to build futures. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into a day in the life of Clatsop Community College.

Helping a Student Can Make Twice

the DifferenceThis year, when you make a new contribution

to CCC Foundation for scholarships, or increase your usual contribution, it will be matched dollar-

for-dollar by the Miller Foundation. This is the third and final year of this amazing challenge

by the Miller Foundation to help Oregon’s community college students.

More than ever, our students need your help. Financial aid applications have risen sharply, just

as public funds for financial aid are dwindling. You can help! And your help can go twice as far by helping us meet the Miller Foundation

Scholarship Challenge.

THANK YOU TO OUR 2009-10 DONORS:

CCC Foundation extends a heartfelt THANK YOU to the many donors whose contributions this past year provided scholarships for students, funding for the campus, and support for programs and other needs. You truly made a difference!
