Roberts takes early retirement
by Mark A. Borrelli
Editor-in-Chief
Dean of Students Jim Roberts
has announced that he will be
retiring effective June 30.
Roberts, who has served as
Dean of Students since 1980 and
has been at Clackamas since 1970,
submitted a request to retire to
the board in March, and the board
approved it, thus clearing the way
for his retirement.
“It’s time to retire. I feel like
I’m doing a good job, but I want
to devote some time and energy
to some fun activities,” said
Roberts.
Roberts cites no hard, or
negative feelings in his decision
to step down.
“I still like working here; it’s
a great place to work. The staff is
great-the students are great-it’s a
real positive environment. There
are no negatives at all,” said
Roberts.
When Roberts began work
ing at Clackamas 20 years ago, he
was the head of the Student Ac
tivities and the Financial Aid
department until 1976. When the
two departments split, he assumed
the position as Student Activities
Director, before becoming Dean
of Students. In that time, Roberts
has seen many positive changes
at Clackamas.
“When I came here there was
only Clairmont Hall and the trail
ers. I was involved in getting the
paper started, and I was involved
in student government. I really
enjoyed working with the stu
dents,” said Roberts.
Working with students is
something that Roberts has re
ally enjoyed while at Clackamas.
“Working with people, not as
much students anymore, I like the
opportunity to work with folks, to
accomplish projects and goals that
have been set,” said Roberts.
Now, with a lot more free time,
Roberts plans to take full advan
tage of that by spending time with
his wife Madeline, his five kids,
and his eight grandkids, and get
back into some activities that he
hasn’t had time for.
“I want to bicycle Oregon. I
also want to take up golf again,
and finish some unfinished proj
ects around the house,” said
Roberts.
The search is currently on for
a replacement for Roberts, but no
definite date has been set. CCC
President John Keyser said that
the selection process is getting
underway.
“We’re talking to people who
report to Jim, and talking to people
who are interested,” said Keyser.
Keyser is hopeful of filling
the vacancy by the time Roberts
steps down.
“I want to take a recommen
dation to the board in May,” said
Keyser.
Roberts feels that his succes-
sor will need to be focused before
stepping into his job.
“The person must have excel
lent people skills. Avision ofwhat
must be provided to students and
other parts of the campus. Must
have a vision, and the manage
ment skills to implement them,”
said Roberts.
