COCC Madras celebrates 10 years
Central Oregon Community
College this spring is commemo-
rating a decade of higher educa-
tion opportunities and community-
focused partnerships at the Ma-
dras campus. The Prineville
COCC campus is also celebrating
10 years.
The Madras campus, at 1170

urday, May 14 from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m.
The day will include the annual
Salmon Bake feast, held for the
first time at the Madras site.
This is a traditionally prepared
salmon lunch, co-presented by the
First Nations Student Union, which
also includes a silent auction to
benefit the First Nations Scholar-
ship Fund, together with dancing,
drumming and vendors.
The doors to COCC’s Madras
campus opened in fall term of
2011, with construction supported
by a voter-backed bond, together
with generous land donations from
the Madras-based Bean Founda-
tion.
The Madras and the Prineville
campuses have grown into essen-
tial learning hubs in the region, pro-
viding access, enrichment and a
range of offerings and resources,
with hometown class options, com-
puter labs, meeting spaces and an
adult basic skills program.
“As Central Oregon continues
to grow, COCC is proud to be an
active partner in supporting indus-
try development, from health care
to high tech needs,” said Dr. Laurie
Chesley, COCC’s president.
