There’s a lot to do at Mt. Hood Community College this fall! • If you are interested in theatre, mark your calendars for Nov. 4, 6, 8, 13, 15 and 16 for a production of Alice in Wonderland. • Or, get your dance on and try out for a part in Footloose. Auditions will be held Nov. 19, 20 and 21; performances will be in February and March. • Come cheer on the MHCC Saints volleyball and cross country teams, get inspired by art exhibits and ooh and ah at planetarium shows. • MHCC will join National Manufacturing Day, Oct. 4, to highlight the importance of manufacturing to the nation’s economy and draw attention to the many rewarding high-skill jobs in manufacturing fields. (To reserve a space or for event details, please call 503-491-7235.)

We have classes on virtually every subject imaginable! To make registration super easy for you, we have included a list of credit courses right here in this magazine (pages 3 – 10) that will be offered this fall at MHCC’s three campuses (Gresham, The Bruning Center and Maywood Park). Once you select your courses, go online to mhcc.edu/schedule to find course times, locations and instructors. If your interests lean toward the fun and personal enrichment side, this magazine also has a complete list of non-credit courses (pages 11 - 26). Turn to page 12 for registration information. MHCC will be vibrant and colorful this fall! It’s a great place to be | your dream.

MHCC students can refresh themselves with a cup of coffee while recharging their electronic devices at several solar-powered picnic tables on the Gresham Campus. The stations were donated by Associated Student Government.

be coached for success A CASE of Right Place, Right Time A new grant from the U.S. Department of Labor helps MHCC provide even more support as students upgrade their skills and find careers. Ask MHCC student David Trusov about the CASE grant, and you won’t get a list of numbers and participating agencies. You get this, from the heart: “When my career coach CAREER PATHWAYS Wendy Lebow told me about the The CASE grant provides employment help services at MHCC, opportunities that lead to careers I was intrigued because I needed an internship credit to graduate. Full of curiosity and eagerness to find help, I entered her office with my resume in hand. It was not perfect, I’ll admit, but with a fire of confidence and landed a benefit for local businesses as the it was enough for Wendy to help me a paid summer internship as an college aligns curriculum with skills polish it up and make it stand out.” information technology infrastructure needed in the workforce and trains technician,” says Trusov. “This qualified workers.” In the meantime, Susan R.

Making College Work Student Resource Specialists help demystify college for students in MHCC’s Adult Basic Skills programs. Fact number one: In East Multnomah County, census data shows that there are more than 30,000 adults 45 years of age and older who do not have a high school diploma. Fact number two: When you don’t graduate from high school, don’t have a lot of financial resources, don’t have a family tradition of higher education and/or don’t speak English as your native language, the idea of going to college and lifting yourself up can be intimidating. That is, unless you know the ropes. Fact number three: At MHCC, “the Kellys” are ready, eager and expertly prepared to help. Kelley Keith, Kelly Love and Kellie Pierson offer resources, information, encouragement and support. Love and Pierson are Student Resource Specialists. Keith is Dean of Adult Basic Skills, a division at MHCC that serves approximately 3,000 students annu-

ally who are motivated to pursue their educational and career goals, but may not be ready to jump into college-level credit courses. “Student Resource Specialists focus on improving student persistence and success,” says Keith. “For example, we initiate student contact through proactive advising and communicate directly with students to engage them in practices that ensure their success.” Keith also says, “We provide career and vocational advising, academic planning, personal and academic goal-setting and help students identify

The Student Resource Specialists help

students to advance into college-

level coursework and earn college certificates and degrees

The Student Resource Specialists serve students who are enrolled in MHCC’s English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) and Adult Basic Education (ABE) General Educational Development (GED) programs. Those students span a wide range. They could be 18 years old or in their 50s. They may be individuals who haven’t completed high school or recent immigrants with doctorate degrees who don’t yet speak English well. They may be working toward a welding certificate or an eventual advanced degree. They share a need for help with the process of attending, learning self-advocacy strategies and succeeding at and completing their education at MHCC. “Best practices and research suggest that the tipping point is 15 college credits,” Keith says. “If a student can get that far, they have a greater chance of completing college. Our job is to show them their potential and to help them reach for it. From a professional standpoint, it’s very rewarding to see our students achieve their goals!” MHCC uses Student Resource Specialists (SRS) to help achieve CASE outcomes and college completions. For more information on the CASE grant, please see page 1. For more information about Student Resource Specialists, please call Kelly Love (503-491-7329) or Kellie Pierson (503-491-7004).

be inclusive Inspired by Difference Years in the making, a new Diversity Resource Center opens this fall at MHCC. The problem, as is often the case, was money. Everyone at MHCC agreed that a Diversity Resource Center (DRC) was a good idea and a vital support for exploring and building both diversity and the cultural fluency needed to harness it as a resource. However, finding the necessary funding to launch and staff the center wasn’t easy. But now the vision—and the dollars—have aligned. “The barrier was always financial,” says David Sussman, manager of MHCC’s Student Union and Specialized Student Support Services. “Now, the college administration and student leadership have joined together to make the Diversity Resource Center a reality.” The DRC is an opportunity for students, MHCC employees and the community to further develop intercultural interaction and fluency, which of course benefits everyone. “At MHCC, we view diversity in the broadest sense,” Sussman explains. “To help ensure it is inclusive of all people and the rich backgrounds that they bring to our learning community, we see diversity extending to everyone and touching on all the things that make each of us unique.” Sussman also says, “Examining the deeper components of how people identify themselves—the ones that often are at the heart of what brings people together or, conversely, creates division—are

all of value to the work of the DRC and MHCC as a whole. In fact, it is this dynamic, ever-evolving mosaic of individual differences that we view as one of our college’s richest resources and will drive the DRC in this rapidly changing world.” To make the dream of a DRC a reality, Associated Student Government (ASG) agreed to provide the resources to upgrade space in the Student Union for the center and the college agreed to fund a staff position, for which Melinda Bullen has been hired.

“We see diversity

extending to everyone and

touching on all the things that make each of us unique”

“This is a work in progress among students, faculty and the community,” says Bullen, who carries the title Diversity Resource Center coordinator. “The center can act as a meeting place, figuratively and literally; a space that serves the campus as a cultural learning library; a safe space for dialogue and a venue for events and workshops.” “Diversity expands social development,” adds Laura Aguon, ASG president. “The ability to learn from people of different backgrounds encourages collective inspiration and fosters pivotal innovation that will benefit students across the three MHCC campuses.” “Diversity is about much more than color or culture,” concludes Sussman. “The Diversity Resource Center will offer engagement, along with awareness, understanding and conversation—which of course all translate to education.” For more information on the Diversity Resource Center, please contact Melinda Bullen at melinda.bullen@mhcc.edu.

College + Community • Fall 2013

be a community asset Community College, Community Partner One of the most powerful examples of MHCC’s mission of partnership with the community is the Customized Training department within the Economic and Workforce Development division. These are two words that stand for a lot: community college. Most people can readily visualize the “college” part…a campus, students taking classes from faculty, earning degrees. It’s the “community” part that is less clear—probably because it covers so much ground, lots of services and partnerships, a variety of opportunities and means many things to many people. One of the strongest and most effective of those community partnerships is all about making the people and businesses of our region

more skilled, more competitive and more successful. In a nutshell, that’s the Customized Training department. It provides instruction in a range of areas, from computer systems to on-the-job safety to industryspecific topics.

When it comes to powering employers’ workforces with new skills and opportunities, MHCC provides continuing education and customized training to support professional development, licensure and assist businesses with their workforce needs.

“We up-skill workers, with the goal of a better workforce to serve the needs and fuel the success of local business and industry,” explains Marc Goldberg, dean of Economic and Workforce Development. “This is where serving students and supporting the needs of businesses intersect. The department becomes the eyes and ears of MHCC when it comes to the type of skilled workforce that’s needed and what kinds of efforts and programs will get us there.”

“We take pride in being responsive and receptive to our customers, who are our students, regional businesses and the entire community,” says Jarrod Hogue, manager of workforce development. “We can quickly build a course or training program to fill a need.” Hogue manages a team of three workforce training coordinators, each of whom serves a sector of the local economy. Robert Weinman works with manufacturers; Paul Wild serves healthcare; and Dawn Loomis

handles food processors, information technology providers and all the other various industries that find a home in East County. “We design and implement custom training for employees,” says Wild, “and it’s the client who drives what we offer. The end result for employers is a smarter, more skilled, more productive workforce. For employees, we provide high-value training that makes them more competitive in the job market. It’s a win for both sides, and what we do helps power the economic development of the entire MHCC district.” Like Wild, Loomis brings a background in workforce development and a desire to work in what may well be MHCC’s most

entrepreneurial division. “I’ve done employee training myself,” she says, “and its value is very clear. The best and most successful employers know how important it is to invest in their workers—as the skills of the employees grow, so grows the company.” Weinman, who brought his experience in the private sector to MHCC nearly a decade ago to work at the vital interface between business and industry and the community college mission, agrees. “A lot of employers have common needs and challenges, but the approach we take to answering those needs is always customized for the specific company. We go on site, we listen, we create a tangible connection so MHCC can be the best possible resource for these businesses,” says Weinman. “We are a conduit for the entire college to understand and help provide what will best serve both students and the employers for whom they hope to one day work. “Our Customized Training department makes MHCC a true partner in the success of the people we teach and the people who need their skills,” continues Weinman. “MHCC is the definition of a community college, which is to be a complete and engaged community partner.” For more information, please contact the Customized Training department at 503-491-7235; workforce.training@ mhcc.edu.

be oriented Gettin’ It Together in the O.C. Suppose you’re a new student at MHCC, just figuring out how to navigate the campus, how to get the classes you want—how to get lunch, for that matter. Or, you are a current student, interested in how to use the online registration system. Maybe you’ve been out of school for awhile and are restarting your education, with financial aid questions or veteran services questions, or… What you need is a convenient place on campus with all the information and answers, and maybe with a cool SoCal TV show nickname. OK, that last part isn’t really important, but it just so happens that MHCC’s new O.C.—Orientation Center—is opening this fall in Gresham 97030 in Room AC1002. “The O.C. is designed to be a line-free, customized, ‘sit down and let’s talk’ center for new, restarting and current students,” says Sydney Eustrom, MHCC’s manager of Student Outreach. The center will house 20-plus computers and serve as the go-to site for students to get oriented or reoriented on the registration process, MyMHCC (the college’s online gateway for students), support

services, general financial aid procedures, online payments and more—all via one-on-one support. “The O.C. improves on a system in which new students had to complete 11 steps in up to seven different locations in a process that took anywhere from four days to four weeks. The O.C. will reduce the steps to just three, locations to three or fewer, and time to 48 hours or less once a student’s admission form has been processed,” Eustrom continues. “For many, the college-going process isn’t an intuitive thing that automatically makes sense. It’s a process with its own vocabular y, ever-changing procedures and a road map of options,” says Eustrom. “The O.C.’s purpose is to walk (or run) students through the starting points, thus setting the tone for a successful kick-off to their educational journey.”
