PCC Praised for Diversity Contestant First Runner-Up
Portland Community College
has received the National Equity
Award from the Association of
Community College Trustees for
hiring a more diverse workforce
and promoting educational op­
portunities for women and stu­
dents of color.
"Diversity has been one of the
board of directors' top goals,"
said District President Preston
Pulliams. "It has been one of my
top priorities, too. W e're thrilled
to bring home this honor.”
Portland Community College
is the most racially and ethni­
cally diverse institution of higher
education in Oregon.
Preston Pulliams
When Dr. Pulliams arrived at
PCC in 2004, he formed internal
and external diversity com m it­
tees charged with assessing
whether PCC was meeting the
needs o f its students, staff, and
multi-ethnic com m unities and
partners.
The result has been an increase
in the percentage of part-time
faculty, full-time faculty and man­
agers who are people of color,
increased investment in staff de­
velopment that improves cultural
competency and enhanced pro­
gramming to better serve PCC's
diverse communities, both inter­
nally and externally.
Joelle Rankins Goodwin, a Portland native
who has spent most o f her career as a military
intelligence officer in the U.S. Army, was
named first runner-up in the Mrs. Oregon
America Pageant at Clackam as High School
on Saturday.
It was the second straight year that Goodwin,
43, has com peted for the crown and the second
time she was named first runner-up. Taryn
Stastny won the pageant, representing W ash­
ington County.
Goodwin, a form er Rose Festival princess
from Lincoln High School, currently holds the
title o f Mrs. Eugene America 2007.

Interim ID Valid for Alcohol
O regon's new interim black
and white paper driver license/
ID card is considered legal iden­
tification, and those over 21 may
use it to purchase alcoholic bev­
erages, says the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission.
Some liquor licensees have
refused to accept the docum ent,
as is their legal right, but that's
likely to change as the interim
ID becom es more com m on­
place, explained Linda Ignowski,
O L C C ’s E n fo rc e m e n t and
Com pliance Services director.
The interim cards are valid up
to 30 days after issuance, but it
usually takes only five to 10
Professional ~ Courteous - Dependable
days for som eone to receive
their permanent plastic driver
license/ID card, says the O r­
egon D epartm ent o f M otor
Vehicles (DMV).
"Liquor licensees may balk at
accepting the interim cards now,
but sooner or later every driver
will have one, so store and res­
taurant personnel will become
more com fortable with accept­
ing them ,” Ignow ski noted.
“Also, the paper licenses w on’t
work in some age verification
equipm ent, so those licensees
are in the process o f updating
their equipm ent to read the
barcode.”
