Dirrim to replace retiring Ryan by Briane G Dotson News Editor Gary Dirrim will replace Bill Ryan as administrative dean of college services and planning af ter Ryan’s retirement June 30, according to Clackamas Commu nity College President John Key ser. Dirrim has wprked at the ¡col lege for the past seventeen years as the controller and has done many things having to do with the budget, food services, and the li- : brary. Keyser is happy that the college will not have to hire some one who hais not worked for CCC before. Keyser also feels that hir ing someone who already works for the college and knows the people here will make the transi tion easier. Dirrim’s new position will be called the active dean of admini stration. According to Keyser, in a year the college will take an other look at Dirrim’s position and see if he has grown into it Even though Dirrim has worked with Ryan for seventeen years he still thinks he has a lot of training ahead of him. “I’m excited, but at the same time have an amount of appre hension,” said Dirrim. Dirrim graduated from Port land State University in 1975, receiving a degree in business administration. Before going to work for Clackamas Dirrim worked for the accounting firm of Kent and Snow, of Oregon City. Dirrim claims that coming to Clackamas was something he really wanted to do because there was not as much “running around” in the Clackamas job and it gives him a chance to become better acquainted with the people he is working with. “I’m happy about the new position. There yyas too much of a routine, and the thrill and excite ment was gone. With my new position Hl get more involved with the other parts of the college,” said Dirrim. photo by Jillian Porter Gary Dirrim will replace Bill Ryan as administrative dean of college services and planning, effective June 30.
