CCC seeks community input to plan for future

More than 500 people have taken part in Clackamas Community College’s (CCC) online survey since it launched in November. Input and ideas gathered from the Imagine Clackamas community survey will help shape the future of the college.

“People have told us they want more online classes, more lights for student safety and more options for achieving a four-year degree close to home,” said Shelly Parini, dean of College Advancement, who is leading the Imagine Clackamas campaign. “We’ve also heard inspiring stories about the difference CCC has made in the lives of our students and community.”

As CCC approaches its 50^th year of service to the district in 2016, the Board of Education is seeking input from the community to shape the future. The Imagine Clackamas survey asks community members, as well as students, what they value most about CCC and how the college can best meet training and education needs in the future.

The college is seeking input from all corners of the community – current and former students, parents, businesses and residents. People who complete the survey may then be entered into a drawing to win prizes including an iPad, book store gift certificates, theater tickets and more.

The Imagine Clackamas survey is available at the college’s homepage, www.clackamas.edu. The survey will run through Feb. 15. Once the results of the survey have been reviewed, the college will begin a series of community focus groups.

Hard copies of the survey or surveys in languages other than English will be provided by calling 503-594-3015.
