The future of education cometh to CCC- Wilsonville. The possibilities of fiber optic linkage and microwave TV reception are scheduled to become a part of the educational experi ence at Oregon Advanced Tech nology Center. Soon, Wilsonville’s capability for edu cating will be expanded to two- way, interactive telecourses from around the country. This technology will pro vide for an information “sharing” between institutions around the country, greatly expanding the number of classes our institution is capable of teaching. If OATC wished to teach a class in Machin ing Fundamentals X, for instance, yettheyweren’tproperly equipped, all they would have to do is contact the appropriate school and par ticipate in their classes via the two-way TV link. This vast resource is brought to us by the CCC Founda tion board, a group of volunteers who raise money for various pro grams and projects the school is interested in pursuing. The on going campaign to equip and fur nish tiie Wilsonville campus is nearing completion, thanks to The Murdock Trust’s Challenge Grant. The Foundation made a proposal to Murdock Trust to pro vide a grant of $136,000. toward technological advancement at the OATC, particularly for two com puter labs, microwave television access and a fiber-optic distance learner system, “all of it the new est technology for distance learn ing,” according to Corky Kirkpatrick, directorof grants and special projects. Unaccustomed to such a large grant proposal from a com munity college, Murdock Trust opted for the cautious approach; if our school raised half of the de sired grant, or $68,000 from other contributors, and maintained the proposed equipment improve ments, they would indeed match the accumulated half with a gift of $68,000. The Foundation raised the needed half, thanks to gener ous support from the private sec tor, and largely to the contribution of Larry Cole, director of Canby Telephone/North Willamette Telecom, who provided the dis tance fiber-optic link to the school. “The promotion of tech nical advancement in Clackamas County” is the bottom line, ac cording to the Foundation’s presi dent, David Dickson. “Compa nies demonstrate a keen interest in OATC because our programs are better suited to training work ers for the smaller, more local industries of Clackamas County,” he said. These improvements at Wilsonville will likely improve the reputation of the technical schooling and eventually employ more people residing in Clacka mas County. Today's students will probably miss out on the improved technology. Two years is the ex pected development span, accord ing to Kirkpatrick with “fiber optic linkage in the fall.” Memory Hints: IVfren was the War of 1812? by Sett Kemp ' pertinent chapters.
