Trees rejoice: College stops printing 1/2 million schedules
, BY LAURA CANIDA
NEWS EDITOR
This year the college stopped mailing the schedule
of classes to all the residents in the college district,
which stretches from Milwaukie to Colton, and
Wilsonville to Estacada. The decision means more
than a half million schedules a year won’the
printed. Clackamas Community College was one of
the last remaining community colleges in the state
to still mail printed schedules to the community.
According to the college;, a mailed printed
schedule was no longer affordable or sustainable,
due to the steadily increasing costs of paper.
The college performed extensive work about five
years ago to get community and college ihput as to.
whether or not to discontinue-mailing the physical
schedule. They spoke with community education
partners, college leadership and key stakeholders
about moving from mailing the print Schedules in
favor of a community newsletter.
The funds for printing the schedule come from
the College Relations and Marketing Department i
~ t that money is now being used to print and mail ,
¿1 new newsletter, as well as funding increased
marketing for the college.
According to Lori Hall, CCC’s Public Information
Officer, more than 545,000 schedules were mailed
over the course of the 2017-18 academic year. On
average, each schedule is 136 pages, for a total of
more than 74 million pages. The new community
newsletter is just four pages, so, that is a savirigs of
more than nearly 72 million pages of paper. With
the mailed community newsletters costing about
$40,000 a year, the college says it’ s saving around
$120,000 a year. The schedule is still distributed on
our campuses and mailed by request.
