CCC hosted an Hispanic Leadership Institute on Saturday in the Gregory Forum. This college
outreach mentoring program was initiated by the Oregon Council of Hispanic Advancement to
reach out to high school kids from 14 different schools extending from Gladstone, Estacada, on
down to Gervais. Coordinator Guadalupe Martinez, Latino student services counselor, says the
goal of the program is to teach students education and leadership skills combined with history
roots and culture. In the above picture, students learned leadership and cooperation skills as
they successfully turned a tarp completely over while the group remained standing on it.

The Galapagos Islands will
be the focus for the first Social
Science Colloquium of the
Winter term which will take
place Feb. 8 from noon-1 p.m.
in Pauling Center,101.
The recent oil spill a half mile
from the western islands could
affect some of the most bio
logically diverse species
known. Bob Misley, CCC life
science instructor, will be pre
senting the lecture and slide
show.
“I will be talking about the
ecological impact, and I want
to be showing slides and be an
swering questions about the
Galapagos,” said Misley. ’’Why
are people interested in it?
What makes it so unique? And
why would a tanker spill there
be of more interest or environ
mental concern than off the
California coast?”
Misley will also be discuss
ing the tour he’ll be leading to
the islands this summer.
Students Glorianne Muggli and
Christina Hotze were chosen as
Clackamas’ representatives for the
USÀ Today scholarship and as
Clackamas’ Oregon Comntunity
College’s scholars.
According to Becky Carnahan,
administrative assistant, dean of in
structional service, staff nominate
students in the fall who they be
lieve are outstanding in the class
room, and have a GPA of 3.5 or
higher. From the nominees, they
select a final 10 to fill out the appli
cation. From those applications,
two were chosen.
“We send those applications off
to the national level,” explained
Carnahan. “We will not know until
March how the results came out.”
Although they do not know who
won the USA Today scholarship,
as chosen applicants, Muggli and
Hotze are automatically chosen as
Clackamas’ scholars and will re
ceive a $ 1,000 scholarship from the
Oregon Community Colleges As
sociation.
This scholarship can be used to
go toward any higher education
and will be awarded at a luncheon,
held in May with Governor
Kitzhaber.
Glorianne Muggli
Life Science instructor Bob Misley will
lead a trip to the Galapagos islands this
summer. A forum will be held to
discuss the current oil spill on Feb. 8
from noon to 1 p.m. in Pauling 101.
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.
