Clackamas Community College
CCC foundation creates goals
by Lisa Graham
Co-News Editor
The Clackamas Community
Foundation (CCF) has establish­
ed the foundation’s goals for
1988 through 1990.
Dave Dickson, Executive
Director for CCF and Assistant
to the the President at the
Gackamas, explained the idea
behind CCF. “The CCF is a non­
profit organization whose goals
are to raise friends and funds,
dollars and support, for
Clackamas Community College.
It’s made up of community and
business leaders from the county
who support Clackamas Com­
munity and want to support what
the college does.”
Two projects that Dickson
gave as an example of what CCF
does were the student Urgent
Needs Funds and the 13 high
school scholarships that CCF
provides funds for. The Urgent
Needs Funds are grants that
“range from transportation,
books, to just putting food on the
tables,” said Dickson. This year
the funds have helped 40
students, said Dickson.
CCF’s goals for the next two
yearsinclude: ■
1. Developing a significant
community event.
2. ¡Developing an annual plan
for fundraising with a target goal
of $100,000 raised during 1989.
3. Developing a process for in­
creasing the involvement of the
public, students, and school staff
and board members in CCF.
4. Implement a Planned Giving
Program, with 10 “Pioneers”
committed by July 1, 1990.
5. Work on establishing a
satellite facility in Wilsonville by
increasing community and in­
dustry involvement in the college.
CCF’s goals are still in the idea
stage, said Dickson. Possibilities
being discussed include making
the significant community event a
bluegrass festival that would try
to emulate the success and
popularity of the Mount Hood
Community College’s jazz
festival.
Fundraising ideas are still being
planned, but two of what
Dickson called the “most ex­
citing” ideas include, a “check
off” on registration forms that
would give students the option to
donate to the CCF. Also CCF
will be extending its membership
to several hundred people, this
would increase the amount CCF
collects from dues.
Increased communication bet­
ween community and school
groups will be, said Dickson, one
of the major goals for CCF.
Ideas for increasing involvement
in CCF include a student alumni
and joint projects between the
student government and CCF.
Said Dickson, “I think the
students would be willing to get
involved in alumni association, if
they knew that there was a return
to them. They would be willing to
get involved with fundraising if
they knew that the money would
be going to help students that
face financial crisis.”
The Planned Giving Project is,
explained Dickson, a fund that
allows private individuals to
donate to the college through in­
surance, wills, living trust, land
or physical asset. This type of
funding is common at private col­
leges, said Dickson, but will be
new to Gackamas. CCF is cur­
rently seeking individuals in­
terested in the program and is
planning on having 10
“Pioneers” committed by July,
1, 1990.
The satellite facility in Wilson­
ville involves property that was
given to the foundation by
Tektronix. Tektronix gave a
deadline to the foundation that
would have the facility built by
July 1, 1990. That original goal
was too early, said Dickson, and
that CCF would be asking for an
extension on that deadline,
possibly for 1992. Currently the
foundation is working on increas­
ing the awareness of the college in
the community and industries.
CCF is “testing the waters,” said
Dickson, and will “build gradual­
ly to eventually become great
enough to build a new facility.”

Educational choices..
Will it transfer?
by Steven Ziolkowski
Staff Writer
questions and decisions. The
solution: A computer program
With over 14 community col­
leges in the State of Oregon, eight
state four-year colleges and 27
private colleges and universities,
students are faced with a wide
range of educational choices.
Choosing a career is difficult
enough, but threading your way
through the maze of transfer
credits, group and cluster re­
quirements and other general
education courses can prove to be
an excercise in Byzantine ad­
ministration. At Clackamas
Community College there are 115
transfer, occupational, certificate
and licensing programs. How
does a student know which
course will fit their choice of con­
tinued study?
Hit and miss is one chancy
method, or you can ask your
counselor. But think about it for
a minute: 49 colleges statewide,
hundreds of possible programs,
thousands of possible courses and
tens of thousands of students
with similar questions. Can your
counselor possibly remember all
of these options?
According to a study quoted in
“The Bridge,” Portland Com­
munity College’s student
newspaper, “65 percent of
students go to see a counselor for
career and goal setting informa­
tion...25 percent of the students
make an appointment with a
counselor to learn basic survival
techniques in college...”
Executive Dean of Student Ser­
vices Bob Palmer at PCC is also
quoted as saying that the college
has only 18 counselors to help
6,000 students per year with their
will answer the most often asked
basic questions. Combined with
group counseling sessions, “the
college hopes to cut down on the
counselors’ long hours,” “The
Bridge” says.
Early this month “The Print”
staff received a draft of a new
transfer agreement between the
University of Oregon and
Gackamas Community College.
While the agreement affects only
U of O general education re­
quirements, “and not school,
departmental or major re­
quirements,” there are a surpris­
ing number of options for
transferring students.
Did you know, for example,
that under the proposed agree­
ment, “Any three of the follow­
ing CCC courses, MTH 200, 201,
202, and 203, if taken in se­
quence, will meet the University
Science group and cluster re­
quirements. CCC MTH 103, 104,
106, 231, 232, 241 may also be
used as Science group courses.”
Don’t be surprised if your
counselor didn’t know this either
- it’s a new agreement and hasn’t
yet been signed by President John
Keyser at Clackamas or President
Paul Olum at the University of
Oregon.
If you’re planning to transfer,
how can you really be sure that
you’re well prepared? Check the
college catalogues, ask your
counselor, speak with qualified
personnel at the college where
you hope to transfer, and ask if
there is a transfer agreement bet­
ween Clakamas and the future
college of your choice.
