Voices of the World Unite
“Voices of the World,” a series of events to
honor International Education Week, will take
place Monday, Nov. 15 through Friday, Nov.
19 at Clark College in Vancouver, 1933 Fort
Vancouver Way. All events are free and open
to the public.
The ability to identify, analyze and demon­
strate how culture shapes world perceptions,
values and behaviors is one of Clark College’s
educational priorities.
This year, 71 international students are at­
tending Clark. They represent countries in­
cluding Canada, France, Japan, Korea, Mexico,
Portugal, Romania and Vietnam. More than
800 Clark students are currently studying En­
glish as a Second Language. Nearly 150 immi­
grant students learned English as a Second
Language through corporate and continuing
education classes because of Clark College.
The upcoming events are being coordi­
nated by the Clark College Office of Student
Life and Multicultural Student Affairs, Clark's
Service Learning Program, and the Clark Col­
lege Office of International Programs.

Finding the
Right College
High school students and
their parents are invited to an
inform ative program at the
Kenton Library on choosing
the right college.
A successful college expe­
rience happens when a stu­
dent is well placed academ i­
cally and socially.
But m any students discover
only after enrolling at a par­
ticular institution that it does
not match their personal pref­
erences and academic needs.
This unhappy situation can be
a v o id e d by c o n d u c tin g a
thoughtful search for the right
college.
Saturday’s session, from 2
p.m. to 3 p.m. will review the
steps involved in a responsible
search process. The Kenton
Library is located at 8226 N.
Denver Ave.

It’s common knowledge that
there’s a national shortage of cer­
tain types of health care profession­
als. For example, not enough physi­
cians are going into the field of
primary care. The nursing popula­
tion is aging; many nurses will be
retiring in the next 5 to 10 years.
Kaiser Permanente Northwest is
partnering with the Oregon Health
Career Center to help remedy the
situ atio n by h elp in g stu d en ts
achieve their dreams of becoming
health care professionals.
For the third year in a row, Kaiser
is funding more than 100 college
scholarships of $2,000 each for high
school seniors in Oregon and Wash­
ington planning to go into the medi­
cal or dental field.
The scholarships will be focused
on students who demonstrate fi­
nancial need or are first-generation
college-bound, bilingual or from
ethnic or racial minority groups cur­
rently underrepresented in health
professions.
