After 26 years of service,
David Dickson is stepping down
from his positions as Dean of
College Advancement
and
Executive Foundation Director.
“It’s been most exciting to
me to hear the stories of stu
dents whose lives have changed
because of the college,” Dickson
said.
Dickson, who stomped on the
scene at Clackamas in 1980, will
be retiring from his post on June
30.
“At one point I received an
award for the person whose job
changed most,” Dickson said.
He has done work with com
munity development, small busi
ness development, strategic plan
ning for grants and economical
development.
“Those were the roles I had
prior to dean/foundation director
in 1988,” Dickson said. “For me
to go cold turkey from the college
would be like losing an arm.”
“My job [as dean] in an over
view is that I’m a cheerleader for
the college,” he added. “I raise
friends and funds for the col
lege.”
“The friendships I’ve built
with donors who have been
inspired to give gifts to the col
lege, they give money but they
get so much more from the gifts,”
Dickson said. “I have developed
some great friendships with some could reach kids in the commu
nity. I believe wholeheartedly in
of the donors.”

repairs
underway
Men were busy outside
Rook, on the side near the
bus turn-around, scraping off
the siding^ll last week.
The reason?
According to Dean of
Campus Services Bill Leach,
with all the rain this Winter,
water got behind the coating
on the side of the building
and caused the paint to blis
ter and bubble.
“The building is new,” said
Bill Leach,- “and still under
warranty.”
So the building contractors
had to pay the college a visit
and remedy the situation.
Leach estimates that the
repairs on the building will
be finished in the next few
weeks.

was a top community college, and
it was an opportunity I couldn’t
turn down,” Dickson said. “Once
I landed at Clackamas I figured
that’s where I’d stay my whole
career.”
Dickson considers completing
different campaigns as his biggest
accomplishment at Clackamas. He
listed the campaign for the arts,
building the child resource center
and winning the bond election in
2000, which brought a number of
new buildings to campus.
“These were tremendous high
lights,” Dickson said.
With only one term left at
Clackamas, Dickson said he has
also been recruited to work on the
College Board when he is done.
He said he looks forward to stay
ing involved at Clackamas.
