Letter from the President

Dear community,

As I write this letter, we are getting ready for the start of another academic year at LBCC. Many of us took time this summer to recharge with our family and friends, taking advantage of the beautiful weather and a slower pace to allow some respite from our busy lives. I am proud to share how LBCC is launching a new one-year certificate in community health this fall, helping grow our public health workforce to help fill the many needed positions.

LBCC has a long history of investing in our communities health occupations needs, educating our future Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Medical Assistants, and Dental Assistants, to mention a few. Responding to the community’s workforce needs is at the forefront of our mission. Like much of the nation, our region is facing significant challenges with mental health and addiction. Our local agencies and organizations are eager to partner with us in offering programs that equip students with job-ready skills to help serve in our public health sector. The Community Health Certificate is an innovative program structured to be a three term pathway preparing students for roles in health agencies, healthcare setting and community based organizations. All courses within the certificate can be applied toward an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree in public health.

In addition to covering a broad range of topics including foundation of health, first aid and health promotion strategies, our students will gain hand-on experience through placement in our local agencies for Cooperative Work Experience. This “real world” experience is essential for students to be successful in their future careers. The courses will be available in-person at the LBCC Albany campus and there are no academic prerequisites beyond a high school diploma or GED. Additionally, local investment by our health community will allow for scholarships specific to this certificate. (add Foundation blurb?)

I hope you will share this information about the new certificate program with friends, grandkids or your neighbors looking to start their path in public health. LBCC continues to open new opportunities for our students while serving our community through Education for All.

Thanks,

Lisa Avery Linn-Benton Community College President

Colleagues create endowment in memory of Bruce Moos

high schools before becoming LBCC’s first full-time Animal Technology (later called Animal Sciences) instructor, joining the college in 1975.

Having been with the Marine Corps Reserve, Moos had a tough side, Weber recalled. But it was the way he provoked laughter that put people at ease.

CLAY WEBER & RICK KLAMPE

Clay Weber once heard a student refer to Bruce Moos as “the godfather of livestock judging for the state of Oregon.”

Weber figured that was appropriate. Before his retirement in 1998, Moos taught agricultural sciences at LinnBenton Community College for 23 years and is credited with developing its livestock judging program into a nationally-recognized force. Even after retiring, he spent about 15 years helping to tabulate judging contests.

In his time at the college, Moos was an instructor, mentor, colleague and friend to hundreds of students and faculty. Now, Weber and former colleague Rick Klampe are working to make sure his influence continues through an endowment they are creating in his memory.

“He was an amazing, amazing human,” said Klampe, who was enrolled at LBCC from 1979 to 1981 and had Moos as an instructor before returning to the college as an instructor himself in 1988. “It was all about the student, it was never about him.”

Clay Weber joined as an instructor in fall 2001, after Moos’ retirement, but

“He knew how to walk in the room and he had a joke for every situation. He made people feel comfortable using humor,” Weber said. “And he was always in good spirits. Even at the end - Rick and I went up and visited him - he was always in good spirits.”

often traveled with Moos during studentrelated trips. Weber was coaching the livestock judging team while Moos was traveling with Benton County 4-H.

“On these trips he was my roommate much of the time, so I got to know him really well,” Weber said. “He was such a unique individual. Kids loved to be around him, adults loved his sense of humor, and he was a very successful person.”

Klampe and Weber are working together to create the Bruce Moos Memorial Endowment. It needs to be funded with at least $15,000 to begin providing scholarships, and they figure they are about halfway there. To contribute, visit linnbenton.edu/give

Moos died of heart failure in 2022 at age 82. He grew up in Lodi, California, and majored in animal husbandry at Fresno State College. He also served in the Marine Corps Reserve during that time.

After college, Moos worked for a while in the hog operations industry, then obtained his teaching credentials from the University of California at Davis. He taught in both California and Oregon

Klampe agreed. “He was a master teacher. To get his points across, he was as funny a guy as you’d ever want to meet,” he said.

Livestock judging is the art of evaluating production animals against the standards considered to be ideal for the breed. At LBCC, Klampe said, Moos took judging teams to a new level.

By Moos’ second year, Klampe recalled, LBCC’s team competed at a national contest in Louisville, Kentucky. “They were second in the nation their first big time out,” Klampe said. “It kind of shocked the world: ‘Who is this guy and where are they from?’”

People in the ag sciences department tend to stay on, Klampe said: Moos for 23 years, himself for 33. It’s that kind of legacy that he and Weber want to help perpetuate through the endowment, which is why it makes sense to name it after the man who helped provide that legacy.

“I can honestly say - the last time I saw him, I told him this - outside of family, there’s no person anywhere that influenced me or impacted my life more than he did,” Klampe said.
