New students enjoy OCCC’s welcoming atmosphere Over the past two years I, along with other Oregon Coast Community College employees, have hosted local radio shows. These shows broadcast up and down the coast, inland, and even into the “cloud,” as podcasts to be retrieved by any online listener. If you do not believe in the relativity of time, host a half-hour radio show by yourself and time passes quite slowly. But if you add a guest the time passes incredibly fast. Students as well as community professionals have shared about their OCCC experiences. Their response to the invitation is typically an enthusiastic 2 • oregoncoastcc.org • spring 2014

“Sure, I’ll be on the show!” During these interviews, common themes emerge about their OCCC experiences. One shared experience is “being nervous over the first few days.” This feeling is soon replaced by, “I wasn’t nervous anymore,” and “During the week, I’d see the same students and instructors.” This transformation is evidence of the positive and embracing learning environment present at OCCC. Credit established students for being inclusive and engaging with new faces on-campus. Also, credit the instructors and staff for building positive relationships that support student endeavors.

One guest shared that his OCCC experience started 18 years after high school and that he wants to be a positive role model for his daughter. Imagine the degree of nervousness that this individual experienced on his first day of class. Now he’s only two terms away from completing a degree at OCCC and being that role model of persistence! What a huge accomplishment. If you know an OCCC student, give that person an encouraging word about completing their course of study. That endorsement is a vote of confidence. Hope to see you on-campus soon. Bruce Koike Interim President Oregon Coast Community College

Exploring Oregon’s Marine Intertidal Environment

occc photos

The dynamic environment known as the intertidal zone holds many surprises for those who take the time to explore the harsh marine habitat that is both covered with water as well as exposed to air. The class begins the evening before the field trip with an indoor orientation session. The orientation takes place in the college’s Aquarium Science building (Newport). Participants will then meet the following morning at a local site. Participants must be able to walk across uneven surfaces for an extended period of time, bend and kneel. Proper attire includes clothing that could get wet, and all-weather, non-skid footwear. Each participant will complete a field trip waiver form. Proceeds benefit student success programs at OCCC. Limit of 20 individuals. See you on the beach! Orientation Time: 6:30-8pm Exploration Time: See Table Start Date: June 14 End Date: July 14 Location: Central County Campus: Aquarium Science Building Tuition: $35 per person or $100 for a family of 4 or more.

Birding Basics

Do you notice and enjoy the birds in your world, but wish you knew more about these clever and busy neighbors? This is just the class for you!

Use of Social Security Numbers: The following is Oregon Coast Community College’s official disclosure statement regarding use of social security numbers: Official Disclosure Statement: AR 581-41-460 authorizes Oregon Coast Community College to ask students to provide their social security numbers. The number will be used by the College for reporting, research, and record keeping. Numbers will also be provided by the College to the Oregon Community College Unified Reporting System (OCCURS), which is a group made up of all community colleges in Oregon, the State Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development, and the Oregon Community College Association. OCCURS gathers information about students and programs to meet state and federal reporting requirements. It also helps colleges plan, research, and develop programs. This information helps the colleges to support the progress of students and their success in the workplace and other education programs. OCCURS, or the College may provide social security numbers to the following agencies or match it with the records from the following systems: • State and private universities, colleges, and vocational schools, to find out how many community college students go on with their education and find out whether community college courses are a good basis for further education; • The Oregon Employment Department, for analysis which helps state and local agencies plan education and training services to help Oregon citizens get the best jobs available; • The Oregon Department of Education, to provide reports to the state and federal governments. The information is used to learn about education, training, and job market trends for planning, research, and program improvement. • The Workers Compensation Division, to track the successful training of injured workers. • The Oregon Department of Revenue and collection agencies only for purposes of processing debts and only if credit is extended to the student by the College. • The National Student Loan Clearinghouse for student financial aid processing and/or research on transfer. • The American College Testing Service, if students take the ASSET placement test, for research purposes. • The Internal Revenue Service, to provide required information related to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. Oregon Coast may also release social security numbers to firms or agencies under contract with the College to provide instruction or research services. Social security numbers will be used only for the purposes listed above. State and federal laws protect the privacy of student records.

OCCC grad returns to campus Paul Robertson works as the Lake Manager for the Devils Lake Water Improvement District, and is responsible for (among other things) the regular monitoring of, and protection of, the water quality of the lake. Robertson has a long list of educational accomplishments to his credit, including a master’s degree in environmental science from Imperial College London. Before crossing the Atlantic for graduate school, though, Robertson got his start right here at Oregon Coast Community College, where the Taft High School graduate earned two associate’s degrees. Earlier this year, the Devils Lake Water Improvement District moved into the North Campus of OCCC, at 3788 SE High School Drive in Lincoln City. On campus, the District has ready access to the college’s new science lab. During the spring and summer, when the District conducts periodic water testing from Devils Lake, the public will be invited into the lab to watch and ask questions of this accomplished OCCC Shark.

Business Law This Spring, the Oregon Coast SBDC is proud to deliver brand-new business law courses to business owners throughout Lincoln County. Held live on the Newport campus of Oregon Coast Community College, these two sessions will be simulcast live via two-way videoconference to the Lincoln City campus, allowing business owners from all over the Central Coast to participate, ask questions and interact with the instructor. The two courses will be led by Richard Huntpalmer, an attorney recently relocated to the richard huntpalmer Oregon Coast. Huntpalmer’s wife, Bryn, is the new development director of the College. Below are the tentative agendas for these two sessions. The instructor, however, plans to tailor course content to the registrants’ needs. When you register online, at www.oregoncoastbusiness.com, you can complete a brief survey requesting that certain topics be covered.

This workshop, designed for employers and independent contractors, will help students understand their potential liability in various contexts by understanding basic legal principals and the tests BOLI commonly uses to distinguish business relationships. Additionally, students, with guidance from the instructor, will examine basic contracts and business practices to help them achieve their goals.
