Spring is in the air and with it comes change.
That fact is very apparent for Dean of Instructional Ser
vices Dian Connett.
Connett is being considered by the Dallas, Texas-based
Brookhaven Community College as their next president.
Connett is one of five people currently being considered
for the position, along with Dr. Patrick Leonard, Vice Chan
cellor for Academic Services, Purdue University North Cen
tral; Dr. Alice Villadsen, Vice President for Instruction,
Central Piedmont Community College; Dr. Paul Williams,
President, Penn Valley Community College and Dr. Stanley
Witt, Dean of Instruction, Pima Community College.
"I love Clackamas. There's no reason I have to go. What
I'm looking for is a position that is going to be attractive to
me, because it's going to provide some new challenge or a
new area I can move into," said Connett.
Last week, Madeline Consor, a student at Brookhaven
and part of the Presidential Search Committee, visited
Clackamas with several other committee members in an
effort to get a feel for Clackamas and what Clackamas stu
dents and staff thought of Connett.
Consor said the committee members were trying to assess
Connett's planning, budgeting and management styles along
with her student relationships and decision making processes.
Part of the committee's decision, which must be ratified
by the chancellor of the Dallas County Community Col
lege District, will be based on how the various colleges
are currently ran and how the candidate contributes to
their respective campuses.
"Clackamas students and staff have been nice, coopera
tive. Pleasant," said Consor.
Brookhaven Faculty Representative John Williams meets with Clackamas Chair of Social Sciences Don
Hartsock to discuss Hartsock's opinions and working relationship with Dian Connett. The meeting was
part of a campus-wide interview process conducted by Brookhaven while they search fora new president
Consor also stated that Brookhaven was in the final stages
of the search for their next president and that their deci
sion would likely be announced soon.
Connett said that if she did get the job, she would be focusing
more on strategic planning (as opposed to her more day to day
role at Clackamas), and improvements in Brookhaven's student
government and enrollment management.
Connett has been working at Clackamas for 18 years,
first as the Assistant Dean of Instruction and then as the
Dean of Instructional Services.
Campus starts recovery from WIP Big Al, Uncle Sam

this spring after being closed due to the water intrusion problem.

After two years of major building
renovation due to water intrusion dam
ages, three campus building are about
to re-open this month, while one has
already re-opened in Wilsonville.
Scheduling of meetings has begun in
the most nearly finished building, the
Gregory Forum, which has classroom
space, conference rooms, faculty offices
and a stage for presentations. A re-open
ing presentation is planned for later in
the term.
The new Dean of College Services,
Peter Angstadt said, “All the other
buildings are on schedule, we got ev
erybody back into Wilsonville about a
week ago. Everything is looking good.”
Modules now being used to house fac
ulty and classrooms are to be moved off
campus as soon as they are vacated.
Angstadt added, “We are going to
make a proposal to the college to keep
two modules.” He hopes to use the mod
ules for media services and classrooms.
In Randall 101, now currently used
as cl6assroom space, Associated Student
Government is regaining their game
room. According to Jacob Boenisch,
ASG president, the game room will
have pool tables, a foosball table and
video arcades for students.
Boenisch said, “Student government
is excited to get the game room back.
In working with student activities we
hope to run the service responsibly and
efficiently. A recreation area is impor
tant for students to relax and create a
sense of community.”
About the third week of April the
shelves for the books will go up in the
Dye Learning Center. The Library will
be closed for a week, excepting some
electronic research sources, including
a test of several full text data services
ongoing for the spring term. Library
personnel will move what is in the Mod
ules over to the Dye Learning center
during that week.
The moving of books out of storage
will take the rest of the spring term and
all of summer term to accomplish.
“At that point then, we will be bring
ing the rest of the books over from stor
age and get them set up,” said Librar
ian Shannon Stiles.
As classrooms and faculty are relo
cated in the buildings, the space opened
up in the other buildings such as Barlow
and Mcloiighlin Hall can be re-occu
pied by the former tenants from before
the construction began.

On April 15 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. the Community
Center and Fireside Lounge will be hosting companies and
organizations for Community Fair Day. The organizations
will have the opportunity to make themselves known and
to meet students on campus.
Army ROTC Captain Cohn is looking forward to being
at Clackamas.
“What I’m hoping is to bring an awareness of the Army
ROTC to the freshman and sophomore classes,” Cohn said.
“We have up to $16,000 per year in scholarships for stu
dents with good grades.” The deadline to turn in applica
tions for both freshman and sophomore scholarships is still
open, according to Cohn.
Along with military organizations like the Oregon Na
tional Guard, Navy Reserve Recruiting, US Army and the
US Marine Corps, independent companies will also attend.
Among these are Big Al’s Lollipops, Oregon Mint, DK Fam
ily Learning Books, Jehovah’s Witnesses and various others.
Independent owner of Big Al’s Lollipops Allan Miller
Jr. will be selling lollipops in a variety of 30 different fla
vors. Favorites include Blue Hawaii, Cotton Candy, and
Bubblegum, for under one dollar each. Miller, who makes
the lollipops in his home has refined the art of lollipop
making. Of the many visitors to Clackamas, this one will
not be recruiting.
Community Fairs only occur once a year, according to
Michelle Waggoner of Student Activities at Clackamas.
This is an opportunity for both students and faculty at
Clackamas to recognize and meet many people in the Port
land metro area.
