Students to lobby for drop-in daycare International Women's
MAGGIE JIRASEK
Feature Editor
In hopes to establish a drop-in
daycare program at Clackamas,
students Chris Henry, Samantha
Griffin, Kim Dullea and Ombe
Makano designed a questionnaire
to get feedback on student inter
est before presenting the idea to
the college board.
When assigned in his group com
munication class to choose and
solve a problem, Henry decided to
take a closer look at daycare pro
grams being offered at various col
leges.
“It sounded like a good idea. I
found out that they have daycare
drop-offs at Mount Hood as well as
Portland Community College,” ex
plained Henry.
Having a daughter living in Los
Angeles who visits him often, Henry
knows how hard it can be for par
ents to find good daycare. His plan
is to poll everybody on campus, find
out how they feel about a daycare

“She was a real shaker and mover
in the International Educational pro
gram,” said Keyser. “She helped pro
mote it.”
According to Meiser, the reason
for Kirkpatrick’s interest in the In
ternational Ed Program stemmed
from her personal travel experiences:
she has traveled to 25 countries in
cluding Indonesia, Australia,
Mexico and Fiji.
“She would often donate her
clothes to someone else, and bring
home a bag full of new clothes from
another country,” explained Meiser.
“She would always have some new
necklace on that was from another
country and a story behind it about
the man who made it or the women
who put it together.”
Kirkpatrick’s job at the college was
not her whole life.
“She worked very very hard, but
when she played she also played
hard,” said Dickson. “1 think that if
you asked her, in her last days, what
the most important thing was in her
life, it would be her grandchildren.”
Corky is survived by her husband
Jerry, who works at the Northwest
Regional Educational Lab; three chil
dren: Mary, Paige, and Scott; and
six grandchildren.
A service for Kirkpatrick will be
held Friday at Cornwell Colonial
Chapel in Willsonville, located
across from Oregon Advanced
Technology Center, at 29222 Town
Center Loop East. A viewing will be
held from 8:30-10:30 a.m. and the
