HOW'S YOUR FUTURE STACKING UP? Clackamas is currently negotiat ing to purchase the newly remod eled wing of the Oregon Institute of Technology to provide a better service to students living in North Clackamas. Four years ago, the college agreed to financially help OIT re model a portion of its facilities. In exchange for this aid, the college was granted the use of nine new classrooms and office space. All of this was done under a lease/pur- chase agreement. Within the last year, Clackamas has decided to purchase the por tion of OIT being used as a more cost-effective method of using this space. With the addition of this new wing, the college has been able to expand both the number of classes offered for credit and the manufacturing programs. “The number of classes offered has doubled, and student enroll ment has jumped from 850 to more than 1000 students,” said Debbie Baker, chair of the community edu cation department at Harmony. Students are now able to work towards their Associate of Arts Or egon Transfer degrees without set ting foot on the Oregon City cam pus, with the exception of lab sci ence. The benefits of this purchase are immense and highly antici pated, and Clackamas expects ne gotiations to be finalized before winter term. War won’t affect financial aid Corithuedfrocri pagel available including talent waiv ers and department intern ships. “The waivers are basically monies that are the college has allowed a department to utilize in order to help a student who is assisting them in a lot of dif ferent ways,” informed Jack- son. “Talent waivers are sort of like a scholarship. Usually they are given out to students in the athletics, theater and music de partment.” According to Jackson, the fact that the United States is at war will not affect the college’s scholarship base or financial aid support in any way. “Scholarships are based on monies that are raised by the CCC Foundation. So, that money is guaranteed. It’s a re ally solid, firm basis,” explained Jackson. “We were informed that the House of Senate de cided not to cut back financial aid money. Instead, they are thinking about an increase.” Scholarship andTinancial aid applications are available in the Community Center at the fi nancial aid display.
