Program makes
transition between
colleges easier
Portland Community Col
lege will partner up with
Concordia University to offer
a new program of dual enroll
ment and co-admission, be
ginning January of 2006. The
decision, made earlier this
month, marks the first dual
agreem ent in Oregon be
tween public and private edu
cational institutions.
“This will give community
college students more oppor
tunity and motivation to com
plete a degree. We are striv
ing to make college acces
sible,” said Preston Pulliams,
district president for Portland
Community College.
The benefits of co-enroll
ment mean students can take
courses at both schools, which
streamlines admissions, appli
cations and transcripts, and
gives students more access
to the services of both col
leges. Tuition rates and fees
will be set by the enrolling
institutions.
“The data shows that stu
dents in the Portland metro
area do not follow a single,
linear path from the two-year
to the four-year institution.
This agreement will help re
duce the barriers so students
will be better assured of a
successful undergraduate ex
perience,” Pulliam said.
Columbia Gorge Commu
nity College and Tillamook
Bay Community College will
also be part of agreement,
making Concordia University
more accessible to those be
yond Portland boundaries.
(AP) — Rapper Lit’ Kim be
gan serving a 366-day prison
sentence Monday for her con
viction on charges stemming from
a 2001 shootout outside a New
York City radio station.
The 30-year-old entertainer,
whose real name is Kimberly
Jones, was whisked into the fed
eral detention center past a
th ro n g o f m ed ia, fans and
passers-by at about 4:45 p.m.
E arlier, she issued a state
ment saying she had “unfortu
n ately” been assigned to the
concrete, high-rise P hiladel
phia facility instead o f to a
prison cam p “as discussed.”
She added: “I am not certain
that this constitutes fair and
equal treatm ent.”
H er la w y e r, L. L o n d e ll
M cM illan, said a celebrity like
L il’ Kim could be in danger in
the detention center.
“W hy should a fem ale hip-
hop artist have to spend time
in an urban concrete jungle
w hile other fem ale prisoners
are assigned to rural, subur
ban-type prison cam ps?” said

L il’ Kim will be assigned to a

that she could be out in nine

“Today begins a new saga
in my life which I expect to

said in her statem ent. “ I plan
to w rite music while in prison,

and comprehensive study materi
als avai lable. The prospective medi
cal leaders o f tomorrow get a rare
opportunity to pick the brains of
the dean and assistant deans of the
medical, pharmacy and physician
assistant schools; financial aid ex
perts; career planners; learning
specialists; faculty members and
health career students, who give
them expert advice on what it takes
to be a competitive applicant.
In addition, the students will pair
up with a faculty member in various
specialties for four hours once
weekly, learning what a day in the
life o f a physician or physician as
sistant is really like.
“A lot of students say they want
to be doctors before they know
what it’s really like. This program
either affirms that you want to do it
or not. It’s a reality check,” said
Adams. “I w ouldn't have been able
to afford the materials necessary
for preparing for the MCAT. W ith
out this opportunity, I would be
half as prepared.”
OHSU also offers a Springboard
Program to introduce students to
medical profession role models,
health care certification classes, job
shadowing and research opportu
nities.
Understanding the nuances of
various cultural beliefs and prac
tices, otherwise known as cultural
competency, is an integral part of
the program, along with interper
sonal relationshipdevelopment and
negotiation skills to enhance their
competitiveness and improve re
tention.
Follow ing high school and be
fore entering college, the students
are invited to participate in the
HCOP Early Success program ,
which offers a no-cost introduc
tion to college math and science
classes at Portland Com m unity
C ollege for four weeks during the
sum m er. Students in the program
are paid stipends to offset wages
they m ight have earned during
the sum m er w orking at a m ini
mum-wage job, and receive room
