See NOTES, Page 5B Clatsop Community College President Chris Breitmeyer A Columbia Forum Presentation Chris Breitmeyer started his career in education as a high school biology instructor in Bloomington, IL. After a few years his interest in learning more about the world around us led him to enter graduate school to study ecological genetics. Eventually his passion for teaching led him to a faculty position at Yavapai College in Arizona, where he taught and learned with students for ten years. Looking to challenge himself he made the transition to academic leadership with a job at Saint Charles Community College, eventually becoming Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs. He now feels like he has the best job in higher education as the president of Clatsop Community College. He is an advocate for the mission of community colleges, the change they can bring to their students, and their communities.
