Angstadt hired as Dean of College Services
BRAD ZIMMERMAN
Co-Editor-in-Chief
Clackamas' new Dean of College Services, Peter
Angstadt, officially started his job at Clackamas Jan. 5.
Angstadt, originally from Colorado, has a bachelor's de
gree in Biological Sciences, a master's degree in Educa
tion and an MBA with an emphasis in Information Sys
tems from Colorado State University.
However, Angstadt did not immediately get to put his
education to use. During high school and throughout his
college years, Angstadt was a whitewater rafting guide.
After college, Angstadt and a friend opened a whitewater
rafting business.
"We ran trips all through the western United States. We
did that for a number of years but as I started settling down
and getting married, I realized that it's so contingent upon
the weather."
In 1989 Angstadt had been working for Idaho State Uni
versity in Pocatello for three years when he decided to run
for city mayor.
"There was a lot of turmoil going on in city govern
ment and community-wise. They were having prob
lems. So, what I decided to do was run for mayor...
and won."
When Angstadt had originally campaigned he had told
the residents of Pocatello that if he was reelected he would
limit his stay in office to only two terms (eight years total)
because he wasn't interested in a career in politics.
While in office, Angstadt said he made jobs and the
economy of Pocatello his main concern.
"I had a big focus on good-paying jobs so if people wanted
to stay in the area, they could. Jobs for students so they
could work part-time and go to school. Economic devel
opment was the main concern."
When asked how being mayor might have prepared him
for his new job at Clackamas, Angstadt said that there are
a lot of similarities between local government and com
munity colleges.
"You can walk in to the Oregon City mayor's office and
ask to see the mayor and then see him. It's the same thing
with community colleges. It's closest to the needs of stu
dents."
Eight years and two terms in office later, Angstadt started
applying for various jobs at colleges and universities around
the country.
Now that Angstadt is officially at Clackamas he has sev
eral problems he's already starting to deal with.
"The big issues now are the buildings that are being re
paired and getting those repaired on schedule, and getting
classes and folks moved back as soon as we can."
Angstadt's long term vision for Clackamas is simply to
make it easier for potential students to get an education.
"I think that will take changing a lot of the long-term
thinking of people. Right now you have all these property
tax initiatives ...Paying taxes is part of being in society
and a part of a community. As long as that money is being
used wisely, so much the better."
Peter Angstadt, Clackamas' new Dean of
College Services, was officially hired on Jan. 5.
Angstadt was formerly mayor of Pocatello, ID.
CCC closes due to storm FRC shuts down

The Family Resource Center closed down after water
damage was found in siding by an employee before win
ter break.
“We had initially done air quality testing and found
no problem there; [but] further testing by Western Build
ing Diagnostics verifies inner wall damage,” said
Clackamas spokesperson Dan McCue.
Due to extensive water intrusion problems in three
other buildings on campus, it was feared again another
building would be plagued by high spòre counts.
Gregory Forum, the Dye Learning Center and Streeter
Hall all suffered damage to exterior walls and interior
wood framing from water intrusion and are now under
extensive reconstruction. The FRC, however, was built
at a different time.
To be on the safe side, FRC programs and personnel
were moved to other locations until the problem is taken
care of.
“We will keep people out during the reconstruction
phase so that we can get it over with quicker,” said
McCue.

The stormy weather that has been
causing problems all over the country
finally touched down in the Portland
area last week, causing millions of
dollars in damage.
The college was not spared in the
ice storm. School was cancelled Jan.
12-13.
Most of Portland had to deal with a
few inches of snow. The Oregon City
area was able to escape this, but got
more than its share of ice. Freezing
rain fell intermittently for two days,
giving the landscape a glassy coating.
Driveways and streets were slick, mak
ing travel impossible for most people.
Most of the steep streets separating
upper Oregon City from downtown
were closed.
Even though the campus was not hit
too hard, many areas in which students
live were. Opening school even on
Tuesday, as the thaw began, would
have been impractical because many
students and instructors still had a lot
of ice to deal with.
Oregon City was in a state of emer
gency for a time because of several
