He was also instrumental in craft-
ing college policy that would en-
sure that minority-owned, women-
owned, and emerging small busi-
nesses would be able to participate
in the college’s construction
projects.
Williams was again a driving force
behind the passage of the college’s
second bond measure in 2000, and
led the effort to expand Cascade
Campus once again.
The Cascade Campus that we
know today, which serves more than
24,000 students each year, exists in
large part because of his vision.
Williams also worked diligently
to ensure that educational opportu-
nities were again extended to an-
other underserved part of town, the
area now served by the PCC South-
east Campus.
He was also known for his pro-
motion of alternative programs for
at-risk students, such as his “Suc-
cess Academy,” in which local com-
munity and faith leaders assisted
Portland Community College stu-
dents who had come into contact
with the criminal justice system.
