40 years:
Has it been
that long?

For Clackamas, there is no such thing as
r-the-hilL.
Clackamas will be celebrating its 40 years
college this Saturday from noon to 5 p.m.
hroughout campus.
The celebration will be a five-hour smor-
bord of activities and entertainment,
tiding student and alumni musical groups,
national plays and songs, ballet perfor-
ices, prize giveaways and tours.
The thing I am most looking forward to

e Shelly Parini, dean of college advance-
it and an executive producer of the event,
spent the past nine months trying to con
former students, faculty and staff.
We’re doing all kinds of things to reach
to alumni. We’ve even started a site on
ipace.com,” said Parini. “We’re looking
Clackamas alumni with traditional and
traditional avenues.”
ler efforts have already paid off; former
tats and employees have been slowly but

They’re starting to come back and share

campus.
‘It’s exactly what we wanted it to do.
It was perfect”
Alumni aren’t the only ones welcome
at the birthday bash; any interested com
munity members are encouraged to par
ticipate. Community involvement has and
always will be die source of Clackamas’
strength and uniqueness.
“The reason [community col
leges] were created is to create a place
for American citizens who were falling
through the cracks, and access to either
an affordable education that took them to
an advanced degree or a good job,” said
Parini.
It will be exactly 40 years ago, on May
24, that 62 percent of voters approved the
formation of the District, a, victory that
made it possible to start building the col
lege.
In recognition of Clackamas’ long path
to collegehood, Parini has been pouring
over many of the college’s archives and
mission statements from the very begin
ning,
“What was very pleasantly surprising
to me is how consistent the college has
been since its beginning in keeping the
main thing the main thing and the focus on
student access,” she said.
The day’s events will culminate in
the actual birthday bash at 3 pm. in the
Osterman Theater, where there will be
speeches, an Oklahoma vignette and
an announcement of prizes for the vari
ous contests (See Page 8 for the last Art
Mystery clue).

As part of the Sustainability
Project here at Clackamas, Bill
Bradbury, Oregon’s Secretary of
State, will be presenting a mul
timedia version of Former Vice
President Al Gore’s controversial
film, An Inconvenient Truth.
The presentation will include a
discussion of climate change and
what the effects of global warming
may be in the Pacific Northwest.
Bradbury has been Oregon’s
Secretary of State since November
1999. He also served in Oregon
Legislation for 14 years, from
1981 to 1995.
During his time as a legislator,
Bradbury was involved in many
environmental issues. For instance,
in 1989, he helped pass measures
which prevented offshore oil drill
ing and planning for state-owned’
ocean resources.
On his page on myoregonstory.
com, Bradbury states:
“As a legislator, I had the
opportunity to encourage the com
plementary
Oregon val
ues of envi
ronmental
protection
ana econom
ic develop
ment.”
He con- .
tinues to do
this today.
He is now BRADBURY
involved in the
Climate Project, which seeks to
identify development paths and
actions linked to positive climate
outcomes.
Bradbury was one of the first to
complete a program led by Gore,
in which he received training that
enables him to present the slide
show.
Beginning in November 2006,
he has offered the show in many
different areas in Oregon, and has
said that he will go wherever there
is a group of 50 or more people.
The multimedia presentation
will be held in the McLoughlin
Auditorium, from noon to 1:30
p.m. on Wed., May 23.

the event, students may call ext.
