Clark College-Eastern
Washington University program awards Clark graduates degrees
Nine Clark College
graduates this year completed coursework to earn bachelor of
science in technology degrees without leaving the Vancouver
community college campus.
The program is designed
for students seeking a bachelors degree based on applied
technology skills. The program meets the needs of local
employers in computer and other technology related fields,
according to program coordinator
Philip Robertson.
To earn the bachelors
degrees students take additional community college coursework
and complete 60 hours of upper division credits, which are
offered through an interactive “Live Video Classroom” at Clark.
In addition, local adjunct faculty teach some of the liberal
arts and technology classes that make up the program.
The nine students who
graduated June 12, most of whom now have jobs in their field
with local companies, are as follows,
Charlie Chappelle,
Des Denis,
Shauna Holder,
Alicia von Leeb,
Keith Thompson,
Cornell Vladic,
Alan Yang and
Elver Zelkanovic.
Open houses will
provide information on county’s capital facilities planning
The Clark County Long
Range Planning Division offer public information on county plans
for capital facilities, including water service, sewers, roads,
schools, and police and fire services, at open houses,
Wednesday, June 30, and Thursday, July 8.
The capital facilities
planning is part of the county’s requirement to complete an
update of its Comprehensive Growth Management Plan, due by the
end of the year.
The growth management
plan sets the boundaries for urban growth outside cities and
towns and thus determines zoning and development rules.
The open houses will be
from 4 to 7 p.m. The first will be in the Public Service Center
lobby, 1300 Franklin Street, and the second, in the Dollars
Corner Fire Station, 21609 NE 72nd Avenue, Battle Ground. Pubic
hearings on the plan begin in mid-July.
Additional information on
the plan is available at the county website:
www.clark.wa.gov/longrangeplan/review/index.html.
