Clackamas Community
College’s Counseling Depart­
ment is now using video tapes.
J. Lee Turpin, Vocational
Career Counselor said, “I
have worked with the counsel­
ing center gram brochures
which cover 33 vocational pro­
grams and have found that
these brochures have limita­

“Sometimes I have so many
people asking me questions all
I can do at that point is give
out a brochure, which is a
complete turn off. With the

wile viewers see students per­
forming career-related ac­
tivities. Viewers will also see
finished products and places
within their community that
have hired graduate students.
The video gram brings out a
greater awareness of what a
explain the particular voca­
particular career entails. “As
enrollment is dwindling we
need something like this,”
Turpin said. He also said the
college is limited in regards to
the material going out. The
videos can be used for high
school counseling services by
describing the program of­
fered at the College.
The College presently has a
counselor who visits the sur­
rounding high schools on a
regular basis. Through this
visit the College has become
aware that high schools are
not familiarized with what the
College has to offer.
“It is important to have a
marketing tool such as the
video career gram in our
counseling department and
now is the time to use it,” Tur­
pin said. High schools will
eventually have a set of the
videos of the College’s
renowned professors and pro­
grams.
“Video is classy, jazzy and
has pizzaz.” Turpin said, and
he added Boby Wynia and
Steve Johnson from the Col­
lege’s Television Learning
Center, who are coordinating
the videos, are doing an ex­
tremely good job.
These videos could be used
at seminars, talks, fairs and
carnivals, and they could be
viewed during registration by
students waiting to see a
counselor. The College will
use the videos mainly for pro­
motion. The counseling
department eventually would
like to make videos on all Col­
lege vocational and transfer
programs.
The next video to be pro­
duced is on English. The video
will define English programs
at the College and oppor­
tunities as an English major.
The tapes run no longer
than 15 minutes and Turpin
said they are easy to update
because of the short duration.
“All it takes to produce a
video is brainstorming. The
only obstacles to getting it off
the ground are to identify a
person from each area, to be
able to have the time since this
is on a volunteer basis, to
come up with creative ideas,
getting people to get materials
developed, and the timing
with people to go out with the
video crew in the industry,” he
said.
