Leader Chosen for PCC Cascade Campus
Karin Edwards, dean of student development and services
at Three Rivers Community College in Norwich, Conn., has
been chosen as the next Portland Community College Cascade
Campus president. The position became vacant last fall when
Algie Gatewood left to be the next president of Alamance
Community College in his home state of North Carolina.
Edwards will start in her new position on July 21.
At Three Rivers, Edwards serves as chief student affairs
officer, overseeing marketing, public relations, admissions,
recruitment, financial aid, veteran affairs, records and registra­
tion, counseling, advising, placement testing, career services,
student activities, childcare, off-campus operations, and stu­
dent discipline. She was responsible for developing and
implementing strategies that foster student success and par­
ticipates in college-wide planning, budgeting and assess­
ment.
“I am looking forward to coming to Portland to join the
students, staff and faculty of the Cascade Campus of PCC,”
Karin Edwards,
a dean at Three
Rivers Commu­
nity College in
Norwich, Conn.,
has been hired
as the next
president o f the
Cascade
Campus of
Portland Com­
m unity College
in north Port­
land.
Edwards said. “The level of concern, commitment and
connection to the community this campus has demon­
strated is so impressive. I ’m absolutely honored to serve as
the president.”
Prior to her current position, Edwards held several posi­
tions at Orange County Community College in Middletown,
New York. She holds a doctorate in Educational Leadership
from Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island, and a
master’s degree in Higher Education Administration and
bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of
Albany-SUNY.
“Throughout the hiring process, Karin impressed the
search committee with her depth of knowledge based upon
many years of community college leadership experience,”
said PCC President Jeremy Brown. “I believe she will be a
great leader for our students, staff and faculty at Cascade
and an excellent partner with the Cascade neighborhood
and community.”
Fugitive had
'Moveable
Dungeon'
Grand jury transcripts
reveal man \ plots
(AP) — Authorities say a man fatally shot by a Portland
officer last month had been stalking young women in a van that
he converted into a "moveable dungeon" with chains and
handcuffs after one of his victims managed to escape from it
in January.
Grand jury transcripts released Monday say Kelly S woboda
kept handwritten surveillance notes on about 20 women. He
rated the women and marked whether they were alone.
Officers confronted the 49-year-old Swoboda near a high
school last month after getting reports of a suspicious van
following students. He died in an exchange of gunfire, and the
grand jurors met to decide whether the shooting was legally
justified. They determined it was.
Swoboda already was wanted by
police because he was the suspect in
bank robberies as well as a January
kidnapping at a tanning salon south­
east of Portland.
A 23-year-old woman was working
alone at the salon when a man beat her,
o
.
.
forced her outside to a van and bound KellY S w o b o d s
her ankles and wrists with duct tape. The woman escaped by
jum ping from the moving vehicle. She suffered a fractured
skull and other injuries.
When investigators examined Swoboda's van after the
March shooting, they discovered chains mounted to the floor
in back and items used to tie a person, including ropes and zip
ties. The woman who escaped had not noticed such items,
leading a prosecutor to ask whether Swoboda had later con­
verted the van into a "moveable dungeon."
"I'm thinking exactly that one victim got away, and he wasn't
going to let the next one get away," said Detective Mary Nunn
of the Clackamas County Sheriffs Office, according to the
transcript. Our discussion at my office is that he was coming
up with a better way to restrain somebody in his vehicle."
Among the surveillance notes discovered by police were
ones about a brunette near the Oregon Episcopal School
tennis courts that he rated an eight, and a ballerina spotted
outside a Eugene dance studio. At least one young woman
was in Klamath Falls.
"Some of them have license plates, so he has seen them
driving and follows them," Portland police Detective Erik
Kammerer said in response to a question from a grand juror.
