Travers plans to 'give up school schedule' by Andrea Smith The Print Staff Nancy Travers, Clacka mas Community College’s Art Department Chairperson, will be retiring at the end of Fall term, 1994, after 24 years of dedicated service. Travers is so dedicated, in fact, that she has never taken one sick day in all 24 years. Before hercareeratCCC, Travers earned a bachelor’s de gree in Art Education at the Uni versity of Oregon, then continued on for a master’s in Ceramics at Portland State University. In ad dition to her degree programs, she has participated in numerous ce ramics workshops over the years. While at Clackamas, Travers has taught classes in ce ramics, watercolors, recreational arts and crafts, folk art workshops and various other workshop courses. ft I think I'll buy groceries in the middle of the night and sleep in the daytime! - Nancy Travers Art Department Chairperson H Upon retirement, Travers wants to “give up the school schedule. I realized I’ve been on a school schedule since I was six years old. I want to go to Europe in the fall, springtime in the Rockies, and I’ll work in the winter and summer. “I think,” Travers mused, “I’ll buy groceries in the middle of the night and sleep in the daytime!” Although shewon’tmiss the schedule, she will miss the environment atClackamas. “I’ve enjoyed the people I’ve worked with, and I enjoy my work,” Travers said. “I like what I do. “I am anxious, though, to have acontinuity,”Traverscon- tinucd. “For 24 years, I’ve had to start over at the beginning level each term. I’m going to use all my skills, and all the knowledge and all the ideas I have to create some thing that has continuity that I can keep at, which I will thoroughly enjoy. I have a complete studio set up at home, waiting.” Although Travers enjoys her work on campus, it is her off- campus adventures that are some of the most memorable. She has been able to travel extensively throughout Europe, Mexico and the United States with the college and on her own. One of Travers’ most important contributions to Clacka mas has been building a thriving ceramics curriculum while many other schools have reduced or dis continued ceramics programs. Another important con tribution was establishing the Campus Art Committee, which involved the selection of new art, solidifying a procedure for im proving the quality of art in the buildings on campus. This also required the replacement of old, outdated art. Travers seems excited about her prospects for the future. “I know that the minute I get time, opportunities will come my way. I have no idea what they’ll be, and I’m open to them all,” Travers concluded.
