Glorianne Muggli of Estacada is currently completing her transfer degree and plans to double major in both Art and Graphic Design. This fall she hopes to be transfer ring to Pacific NW College of Art. At Clackamas, she is the ASG vice president and a members of the Student Art League and Phi Theta Kappa. “I want to teach graphic design at the college level,” said Muggli about her future goals. Muggli plans to get a bachelor's degree in art and then get her mas ter's degree in graphic design or painting so she can teach art at the college level. “I’ve always liked to do it (teach),” she stated. “I’ve taught a lot of community school classes in the past.” Currently, Muggli runs a small publishing company out of her home doing graphics design work for the Mormon Church. She makes puzzles and visual aids that teach morals and lessons that are used mostly in Sunday school classes for children. The reason Muggli returned to school is because her husband has cancer and she wants to be able to help support the family fi nancially. “My business is really not big enough and it would be difficult to make much money out of it,” said Muggli. “It’s fun, but I think I will enjoy teaching more.” Christina Hotze Christina Hotze of Welches is a nursing student at Clackamas. She is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and the National Nursing Student Association. Hotze will be gradu ating from Clackamas’ nursing pro gram this spring and plans to go to OHSU this fall. As part of the nursing program at Clackamas, students do 160 clinical hours each term. They get exposed to many different fields including surgical, mental health, and pediatrics. After trying other fields, Hotze still comes back to geriatrics as her career plan. “It lets me know that it was the right choice,” Hotze said. She wants to be a geriatric nurse practitioner and work with the eld erly. “I want to go to one of the rural communities in Oregon and enable them to stay in their homes,” she explained. Hotze is very grateful for the nursing program and instructors at Clackamas. “One thing about the program here is that they look at the whole picture. It has really opened my eyes,” said Hotze.
