Catch theWave Winter 2015
Welcome to Oregon Coast Community College! Our college vision statement is Shaping the Future Through Learning, and through the many offerings showcased in this edition of Catch The Wave, we strive to help you shape your own future, whatever your dreams may be. Created by public vote in 1987, we are Lincoln County’s college. Our purpose is to meet the needs of community members such as you. Whether your goal is to take a single class for enrichment (birdwatching or guitar, anyone?), or to complete your first two years of a Bachelor’s degree (will you be a Duck or a Beaver?), or Dr. Birgitte Ryslinge President, Oregon Coast Community College to grow your business occc.president@occc.cc.or.us by working with our Small Business Development Center, we can help you realize your goals. We pride ourselves on our award-winning faculty, small class sizes, beautiful facilities, and extraordinary support services. We are looking ahead to the future so that we evolve to meet the needs of the many com-
munities in Lincoln County. For example, we are significantly growing the offerings at our Lincoln City site with the intent that over the next few years students will be able to complete a two-year degree in Lincoln City. We have added community education classes in Turkish culture, Spanish and mussel harvesting. Our SBDC offers new classes like business law and “Winning with Google.” And, a new Community Development Block Grant through Lincoln County offers tuition scholarships for business owners across the county, based on income. If it has been a while since you have taken advantage of all we have to offer, now is the time to take another look. I also want to hear from you. What do you think OCCC should do to support the future you have in mind? I have now been with Oregon Coast Community College for five months, and lived in Lincoln County for six. Every day I am more energized by the wonderful faculty, staff and students of the college, and our many supporters in the county and beyond. It is my honor and privilege to live and work among you, and to see students shaping futures for themselves and their communities every day. Thank you to the residents of Lincoln County for your continued support of the college.

History
The Seatauqua (see- TALKwa) was a series of workshops, lectures and excursions (by car, boat and even airplane) that ran for decades in Newport. Coordinated by Oregon Sea Grant, the programs encouraged chautauqua-style discussions by all participants about arts, sciences, coastal ecology and more. This year, Oregon Coast Community College and the Hatfield Marine Science Center began the process of reviving Seatauqua, with special events this Fall and Winter terms. To suggest a topic for an upcoming Seatauqua OCCC Community Education course, or to ask about serving as an instructor, contact Shirley Hill at shirley.hill@ occc.cc.or.us.

OREGON COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT PROFILE – BREEZE POWELL
B
reeze Powell started attending classes at Oregon Coast Community College two years ago, during the Winter term of 2012. She had decided to pursue a career in nursing, and her first step was to complete the pre-requisite courses needed to enter into the nursing program. After completing the program, Breeze plans to continue her education and complete a master’s degree in nurse midwifery. “I have even considered taking it a step further and working toward a doctorate degree,” she said. “This would allow me to work toward identifying problems and finding solutions in the midwife profession. I have always been very passionate about midwifery and childbirth and a lot of my drive stems from wanting to provide teaching to mothers, families, and the community at large.” When asked what she tells her friends and family about her time at Oregon Coast Community College, Breeze says her family and friends have had the “joy and burden” of hearing about her personal accomplishments and trials during her time at Oregon Coast. That said, Breeze notes, “I cannot begin to express how supported I have felt by the faculty and my fellow students here at OCCC. I feel that I have been able to accomplish a great deal in a short amount of time, and in my opinion that is a direct reflection of the quality that exists here at OCCC. I am extremely grateful that this is where I am creating my foundation for the future of my career.” “I have had a lot of wonderful times here, Breeze said. “A few that stick out would be my time in Anatomy and Physiology with Mr. Nash, turning in my application to the nursing program, getting accepted to the nursing program, followed by a nice quiet summer attending mixed media in the art lab, and most recently getting to practice injections on my fellow classmates!”
BREEZE AND HER SON, IZAIAH
Taking an important step like heading back to school isn’t easy for anyone, as Breeze could tell you. If you think you’re ready for that challenge, and that adventure, it’s time to set up an appointment with an academic advisor at Oregon Coast. They’ll help you decide what direction is best for you and your goals, as well as answer questions about financial aid, placement and much more. “I am sure there will be many more memories made over the next couple of years,” Breeze says, “and I am looking forward to all of them.” Start making your memories today. Call 541-8678501 to schedule an appointment with an advisor.

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.

Succeeding at OCCC
‘‘
‘‘
OCCC student Joy Lee is currently under consideration for a coveted Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship. Oregon community college scholars are honored each year at the capitol, when two students from each college are recognized by highranking public officials and offered scholarships to participating four-year institutions to continue their education. The students chosen represent excellence in the classroom, intellectual curiosity outside the classroom, evidence of substantial development of their talents and the ability to share this development with others. This is a very prestigious Phi Theta Kappa award and honor. I hope that I can be a role model “I am so glad that I made the decision to complete my educafor these students, to let them tion at Oregon Coast Commuknow at no matter what age nity College,” Joy said. “So many wonderful events have happened they are, they can still go back to since I first started. I have met school and succeed. some wonderful friends, and – Joy Lee the staff and faculty have always been very supportive of me. I have learned more than I ever thought possible. I am doing things that I have always wanted to do. I have joined Associated Student Government where I do events like BBQ’s and community events like beach clean ups. My biggest accomplishment is joining PTK (the Phi Theta Kappa honor society). I was so elated when I was accepted into the club. “Going to college has helped me believe in myself. I have had students my age tell me that I am an inspiration to them because I am finally finishing something I started 15 years ago. I hope that I can be a role model for these students, to let them know at no matter what age they are, they can still go back to school and succeed. “This nomination is one of the best things that has happened in my life. It’s like a breath of fresh air. All of my hard work is beginning to pay off, and it helps me to stay focused on my goals and dreams.” Congratulations and best wishes, Joy, from all of us at Oregon Coast! winter 2015 • @occcsharks • 11

Big news for Small Businesses!
Tuition scholarships available for businesses county-wide Thanks to tremendous support from Lincoln County officials, and diligent effort by the SBDC staff, the Oregon Coast Community College Small Business Development Center has secured a Community Development Block Grant that will help cover the cost of tuition in most SBDC classes and programs for Lincoln County business owners with five or fewer employees, and who meet certain income criteria. Most Lincoln County business owners would qualify for grant support if they request it. The process is simple: Just call the SBDC at 541-994-4166 to request a meeting with an SBDC advisor. They’ll provide a few forms to determine if you’re eligible, and then will work with you to determine what courses and support are necessary for you to reach your goals, whether it’s simply to ramp-up your online marketing efforts, or to more broadly improve your business operations across many areas. Lincoln City grant continues And, for businesses located within Lincoln City’s Urban Renewal District, economic development grant funds are still available from the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency. These funds can underwrite the cost of tuition for certain SBDC classes and programs in an effort to improve the health and vitality of the district’s business community. For details on all of these programs, call us at 541-994-4166 or visit www.oregoncoastbusiness.com.

Eager to start a new career? Readiness, Set, Go!
Oregon Coast Community College began offering the National Career Readiness Certificate Assessments in November 2014. There are a total of three WorkKeys assessments, two of which help meet the essential skills requirements for high school graduation: reading for information and applied math. The third assessment gauges skills in locating information, and completes the requirement needed to earn the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC). The NCRC is an industry-recognized, nationally normed, evidence-based credential that certifies essential skills needed for workplace success. The three assessments evaluate many skills, including: problem solving, critical thinking, reading and using work-related text, applying mathematical reasoning to work-related problems, locating, synthesizing, and applying information presented graphically. Individuals can earn the NCRC by taking the following three assessments, and scoring a level bronze or higher:
Take the NCRC To take the National Career Readiness Certificate assessments, visit the Newport employment office at 120 NE Avery St., or register online, at imatchskills.org or for more information, call the testing center at 541-867-8505.
• Applied Mathematics • Locating Information • Reading for information
The NCRC Certificate is utilized by thousands of employers and job applicants. The NCRC Certificate provides an accurate measurement of what an individual can do, rather than what they know. It is a portable, industry-recognized credential that verifies “work readiness.” Earning a NCRC Certificate can help candidates obtain a job, keep a job or earn a promotion. Having NCRC Certification also looks good on a resumé. Oregon Coast Community College is committed to providing its students and members of the community every opportunity to obtain gainful employment. The NCRC assessments can assist in that endeavor. Anyone interested in taking the NCRC assessments must first register with the Work Source Oregon Management Information System (WOMIS) and to use the Job Seeker ID number that system generates as the NCRC Examinee ID number when taking the NCRC assessments. Registration takes most people between five and ten minutes to complete. Examinees may register at a WorkSource Oregon physical location or remotely from any computer. NCRC participants do not have to complete the entire Welcome process. CCWD encourages all NCRC participants to complete the Initial Skills Review (ISR), as it is an indicator for potential success on the NCRC. If you are interested in taking the NCRC assessments, you can either contact the Newport employment office at 120 NE Avery St. to complete the Welcome process, or you can go to www.imatchskills.org to register to take the NCRC assessments. Once registered, you can call the OCCC Testing Center at 541-867-8505 to make an appointment to take the NCRC assessments.
