Jarett Gilbert has been the director bf health and sciences at Harmony campus
since January, 2016.
The Clackamas Print: You were in New York for a w hile, so how did you
come to Oregon?
Jarett Gilbert: My wife is from Clackamas and she’s a nurse. I was at New
York University doing a graduate program (2009~20f2) and I met her while 1
was over there; she went there to take her nursing program. She was applying
for graduate programs in New York City and back here in Portland, and she
was accepted to both, and we decided that we were going to be back here.
TCP: What are some things that you have accomplished or that you would
like to accomplish as director?
JG: In my role, I do a lot of things.What gives me the most pride is when
out program directors are able to create programs that support the
community and the students, not to mention educate them
to graduate and to workT Anytime we can create another
opportunity for our students, that is the achievement that
I’m looking for.
TCP: You were once part of a band called Bury Me A Lion
from 2009-2014. Can you explain how the band formed?
JG: When I got to New York, I did my first year of
the graduate program and that summer I was feeling
particularly creative. So, I was looking at Craigslist for
bands that were seeking vocalists, and I stumbled across
this one guy that was looking for a bandmate. LateE
on, I met up with him at a recording studio in Chelsea,
New York. We ended up playing music and literally
that session we started working on one of the songs
that we ended up recording. We started writing music
togetherand then we incorporated the drums into it
and we looked for a bass and then started touring.
TCP: Your Linkedln Profile picture show s you
shaking hands w ith someone who looks important.
Can you elaborate on that?
JG: When 1 got out of my grad program, I got hired
at New York University College of Dentistry. During
my career there, in one of my roles I was organizing
international events. NYU has a campus in Abu Dhabi,
United Arab Emirates. There was a connection that was
made between us and the largest health care provider in
the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The United Arab Emirates is a
collection of Emirates that are ruled by Emirates or princes.
One of them is the Sheikh, the big guy.His name was Sheikh
Nayahan and he Was the head Of United Arab Emirates’
Ministry of Culture, Youth and Social Development. He was
one o f the princes and he would kick off the conference.
He would come in with his entourage and he would shake
hands With all of the lecturers.
