Dear Professor Clackamas,
Why is the CCC campus in the middle of
F&#@ing nowhere?
- Where The Hell Am I?
T
nteresting question, Where. The thought of brain-numb college kids being close to me is a
day ruiner, because I myself live close to the campus. Fortunately, the placement of
Clackamas Community College has its own unique history.
The college was founded in 1966 by president Roy Mikalson, according to “Transforming
Lives: The History of Clackamas Community College” by Dr. John Keyser. The original
classes were held in Gladstone High School, but in 1968, they broke ground for the
Clairmont building, and have expanded ever since. The placement was made through a pro
cess of five different sites, then whittled down to three, says CCC spokesperson Janet Paulson. It was then
left up to voters, who chose this site on Feb. 13,1968.
It’s one of the largest community colleges in Oregon, with the main Oregon City campus and two satellite
campuses in Wilsonville and Clackamas.
And if that isn’t impressive, your favorite college newspaper used to have a mobile home as an office and
got a room when a sports editor stepped through the floor.
Sincerely and always irritated,
Professor Clackamas
