“Western continues to work to fulfill its mission of serving the higher educational needs of the state of Washington.�
SABAH RANDHAWA President of Western Washington University 6
Western’s Role in Expanding Access to Higher Education
In the next decade, an estimated 67 percent of the jobs in Washington State will require some form of post-secondary education. Yet only 51 percent of adults in Washington have a two- or four-year degree.
I
n a growing, competitive job market, degrees are more than a line on a resume; they are a minimum requirement. “There are about 700,000 adults in Washington who have earned some college credit, but haven’t completed a degree,” says Sabah Randhawa, president of Western. “We need to be closing that loop and providing resources and opportunities for those 700,000 people to invest in their futures, and really all of our futures, as citizens of the state of Washington.” Access to education in one’s community can be difficult, especially with urban sprawl and placebound restrictions due to family or work, and Western
is committed to answering the call. Addressing the state’s critical needs and promoting lifelong learning for success in an ever-changing world are ingrained in Western’s mission. “One of the goals in Western’s new strategic plan articulates our desire to further our understanding of, and engagement with place, broadly conceived,” explains Brent Carbajal, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. “Beneath that goal lies the objective of increasing and enhancing connection between the university and people across the region and state.”
“Our Outreach and Continuing Education unit is poised to assist us in realizing various aspects of the aforementioned objective by providing the educational resources and professional services sought by communities and groups not necessarily associated with our Bellingham campus or even located in the city.” - Brent Carbajal, Provost & Vice President for Academic Affairs

Educational Administration Crossing Borders In early 2018, Western’s Educational Administration Master’s Degree Program expanded its offerings online into British Columbia, increasing access and flexibility for more students in the Northwest.
30
W
hen Warren Aller, Educational Administration program adviser, started working at Western in the 1990s, about one-fourth of educational administration students were Canadians. After immigration changes in the U.S. and Canadian currency changes, attendance of Canadian students started to decline, Aller explained. Western’s Woodring College of Education sought to find a solution, launching online courses in conjunction with the Abbotsford School District in a highly relational and collaborate format. This customized program is designed for aspiring teacher-leaders who wish to focus on school leadership. The program is also tailored for aspiring
principals who wish to satisfy requirements for the Washington State residency principal’s certificate. Unlike the traditional program, participants in the B.C. program will not earn a principal certificate through the program, as B.C. does not require the certification. “ Western’s program fills a unique need in British Columbia,” says Aller. “We offer a degree in administration that blends Canadian and United States educational systems and philosophies. It is this more global perspective where classes are taught by a blend of Canadian and U.S. professors that makes the program unique. It is an advantage for the Canadian leaders to hold a Master’s in Educational Administration with a broad based perspective.”

Western Collaboration Brings Pervuian students
During the 2019 winter quarter, Western hosted ten exchange students visiting from their homes in distant Peru.
T
he enthusiastic Peruvians attended classes during the quarter, but they also soaked up the Pacific Northwest’s winter splendor. Although playing in the snow for the very first time – snowshoeing, skiing, throwing snowballs and making snowmen – wasn’t part of their curriculum, they made the most of being the first group of students participating in a new academic program launched between Western’s Mountain Environments Research Institute and the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina in Lima. The program is a collaboration between the two universities with the purpose of establishing a long-term research and education exchange program in which students study conservation, biological diversity and ecosystem management,
32
as well as hone their English language skills. It aims to enhance exchange students’ educational and personal growth through a campus experience founded on academic and social interactions. Participating students were selected based on their interest, academic standing and English skills. With majors ranging from business and economics to forestry and fisheries science, seven women and three men were chosen to form a diverse group that included rural students and native Quechua speakers. “On one hand, the focus of the program is conservation and management of natural resources,” said Raúl Pacsi, a forest engineering major. “On the other hand, it’s an opportunity to study in the United States, where there are
many conservation programs and experiences and many things can be learned.” To make the most of their journey to the U.S., they participated in a weekly Intensive English class. On the social end of the educational spectrum, the Peruvians experienced an exchange of cultural insights with a diversity of Western students as well as Japanese students attending the Asia University America Program (AUAP). Social highlights included what was believed to be Western’s first “Peruvian Culture Night” celebration. Essential social experiences were appropriately balanced with the spirit and intent of the exchange program’s focus. Instructors and students took to the road on a number of occasions for field trips
to some of the most diverse environments Washington has to offer, including Olympic National Park, North Cascades National Park and three national forests. Park and Forest Service staff were enlisted to speak to the students about their resource management experiences.
Over the years, his visits to Peru with Western graduate and undergraduate students found success in the field and helped forge important relationships with university administrators and government agency officials from both the U.S. and Peru.
The idea for the program and its ultimate realization was that of John All, director of the Mountain Environments Research Institute in Western’s Huxley College of the Environment.
“When we would go out in the mountains, I would have Western students with me and I would also take five to ten students from Peruvian universities with us,” All said, adding “They were getting to know each other, but it was a one-way street.”
As a geoscientist, All first visited Peru in 2009 while on a Fulbright Fellowship. His acclaimed, welldocumented studies made in the Peruvian Andes and other high-altitude environments focus broadly on fragile, indicator environments where changing climate has profound consequences.
Wanting to reverse the norm and bring Peruvians to the U.S., All set out to find interest and funding, some of which the Peruvian government soon provisioned. “We then looked at the costs and it was still a little beyond what we could afford,” he said. “So I approached the U.S. State Department and we found a program called ‘100,000 Strong in the Americas.’” Considered a success by all involved, the exchange program’s first group of students returned to Peru with memorable, if not life-changing experiences. Taking home new skills and greater awareness, they can look at their country’s natural environments with a fresh and responsive eye on the future. Exchange student Aracely Meza said she learned a way to manage the ecosystem and try to protect the maximum number of endangered species, habitats and ecosystem processes. “I think what I learned here gives a new perspective of managing ecosystems,” Meza said, adding that more research is needed for “good management of the natural and human resource, which my country possesses.” Learn more about Western’s Study Abroad Programs at studyabroad.wwu.edu

Western’s Intensive English Program Provides Skills for Success
English is not an easy language to learn, especially for foreign-language speakers, many of whom concede it’s the grammar side of the equation that can give them fits.
B
lanca Granados de Cruz says the most difficult challenge she faces today is learning English grammar. This coming from a woman who was confronted with far more serious challenges in her homeland of El Salvador, where grammar was the least of her worries. Blanca and her husband, Enio, made a life-changing decision–as challenging as it was courageous–thirteen years ago to escape and immigrate to the United States. Along with their two young sons, Nelson and Alex, the couple found their way to the San Francisco Bay area, a place they called home for the first few months of their passage. During that time, a fellow Salvadoran and family friend living in Blaine, Washington convinced them to move north and plant the roots of their new life in Northwest Washington. They did and haven’t looked back. A skilled elementary school teacher by trade, Blanca wanted to find her way back into the profession in Bellingham, where the family, which now includes a daughter, Fatima, calls home. It’s also where she currently attends the Intensive English Program (IEP) at Western Washington University.” “I first went to community college to take the class English as a Second Language (ESL),” she said, adding “I found the class very helpful, but I knew I had to learn more,” she added. With the goal of teaching again, Blanca understood the need to become far more familiar with English than she was, so she sought to take the next step and visited Western’s website, where she found what she needed. IEP, a program supported by Outreach and Continuing Education’s Language and Culture Programs, offered
34
a pathway to study English for business, as well as preparation for degree study at Western. To accommodate an engaged learning atmosphere for students, class sizes are small and provide a highly immersive American language and cultural experience. It was exactly what Blanca was looking for and needed to move ahead. Working to attain Level 5 certification, she attends school four to five hours a day, five days a week, and will achieve her certification in a few short weeks. “The program has made a positive impact on my life,” says Blanca. “It has improved my English language skills and will allow me to someday get a teaching job.” IEP Director of Studies, Paul Mart, offers insight about Blanca’s quest to fulfill her dream of getting a teaching position. “Blanca and I have learned a lot about the Washington Educator Skills Test—Basic exam, the WEST-B,” Mart says. “Since October 2018, we have been working on reading and writing exercises to build her confidence and pass the exam. I’m impressed with Blanca’s resolve to achieve her goal.” The two have spent time on the telephone with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to clarify the steps that Blanca will take in the upcoming months. After those steps have been completed, Blanca’s progression through IEP will come to fruition and her hope of once again teaching elementary schoolers closer to reality. “I think this program is building a good understanding for me of English and gives me great opportunity in my life. I will first be a teaching assistant and then would like to get a teacher’s job.”
This summer, Blanca takes the next big step in mastering English, volunteering to read aloud to students of all nationalities attending the program using a M Reader. M Readers allow students and teachers to better understand what they read and what they have learned digitally, essentially helping to track a student’s progress.
“I get practice teaching and I get confidence from the program,” she said. Nodding her head with a humble, grateful smile, she lifted her eyes and added,“ The program is very special to me.” For more information about Western’s Intensive English Program, visit oce.wwu.edu/intensive-english-program
Every Sunday at her church, Blanca practices her teaching skills, providing Spanish lessons to English speakers.

Cybersecurity Training Expands in Poulsbo Responding to the growing need for trained cybersecurity professionals, Western on the Peninsulas is offering a new cybersecurity certificate.
T
his 16-credit certificate provides a means for students from all disciplines to become knowledgeable about the challenges and potential solutions to cybersecurity problems. Students will learn to apply cybersecurity principles across all aspects of an organization. “The certificate provides a strong background in cybersecurity issues for all students. It introduces them to a technical understanding of cybersecurity, but more importantly delves into management and administrative
38
aspects of cybersecurity such as risk management, policy, planning, ethics and privacy,” said Erik Fretheim, director of Western’s cybersecurity program. This certificate option will be available to all Western on the Peninsulas students not currently enrolled in the Cybersecurity Bachelor of Science degree track. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with quarterly enrollment available. Staff believe the certificate will appeal to business administration students especially, as they are preparing themselves for careers in management. Those students could take cybersecurity courses as electives to earn both the cybersecurity certificate and a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration upon graduation. Not all jobs in cybersecurity require a deep knowledge of technology. There are a variety of positions that have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their organization’s
computer networks and data. People in those positions do not do the reverse engineering of an attack or write computer code to safeguard their network but may manage the technical staff that does, or may be responsible for outsourcing the work. These positions don’t need to have a deep knowledge of the technology; they need to know about cybersecurity issues. Courses will be held at Western’s Poulsbo location on the Olympic College campus located at 1000 NW Olympic College Way.
