Engine aids Emergency Services trainingStory on page 6

Great things are happening at Rogue Community College. We’re developing the tools and momen-tum to positively impact the area’s economic growth, working harder and more innovatively to provide citizens and students with the necessary skills and training to succeed. The following are a few initiatives we’re working on through the RCC Foundation.Science and allied health technology expansion

Health-related careers are a rapidly growing oppor-tunity for RCC students in Jackson and Josephine counties. Every year approximately 125 students graduate from allied health programs, move into the workforce and begin their careers. Regional health care providers have unfilled positions, and the demand is growing. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects employment in these occupations to grow by 35 percent in the next 10 years.

RCC already offers allied health care programs in dental assisting, clinical lab assistant, physical therapy assistant, occupational therapy assistant, nursing assistant, emergency medical technology/paramedic, massage therapy, and fitness technician, as well as professional health careers in nursing and pre-med.

With state support in the form of an $8 million matching grant and funding from the Department of Labor, RCC is expanding its allied health offer-ings to meet demand in areas identified by local providers. (See story on page 2.)New flex-tech lab

A flexible technology lab – with high-bay shop spaces and moveable walls – is an opportunity to strengthen and grow partnerships with manufac-turers such as the Heavy-Lift Helicopter Consor-tium and solar/renewable energy companies. It also would allow RCC to expand its automotive, diesel, electronics, welding and apprenticeship programs, providing the right training for the right people at the right time.Renovations to concert bowl

The Marjorie Holzgang Memorial Concert Bowl on the Redwood Campus is the site of com-mencement and many other community activi-

ties, including music and theater productions. Its natural, green hillside setting can be improved with tiered seating, new lighting and electrical fixtures, a modern stage and high-grade sound equipment, attracting more usage and larger productions.Justice Training and Education Center (JTEC)

A state-of-the-art training center will help RCC expand its criminal justice programs and prepare students for a multitude of careers in public safety. The center would accommodate physical combat training, computer labs, and simulation labs.Increased scholarships and endowments

Developing new funding and additional scholar-ship resources will allow RCC to secure state-of-the-art equipment for high-cost programs, especially in science and high technology. Stable funding also will enable RCC to cultivate and re-cruit top-notch instructors while providing neces-sary scholarships to students seeking financial aid.

Watch for more details on these and other initia-tive designed to spur economic development and provide our community with more opportunities. Great things are happening at RCC.

Sincerely,

Peter Angstadt, Ph.D. President, Rogue Community College 541-956-7001

Rogue Community College will receive $8 million in state capital construction bonds – an award that will boost regional job training, economic development, and health care.

“These funds will help RCC fur-ther develop our allied health and science programs and will result in more people trained for skilled jobs and a healthier economy,” said RCC President Peter Angstadt.

Approved by the Oregon Legis-lature, the funds will be used to upgrade and expand RCC allied health and science facilities at the college’s three campuses in Jackson and Josephine counties, increas-ing lab and classroom space and purchasing new equipment.

In order to receive $8 million from the state, the college will be required to raise $8 million in matching funds.

“It’s important to continue our work to secure a financial com-mitment of local dollars to match the state grant, which will require the full support of everyone in our region,” Angstadt said.

The total $16 million project will play a vital role in local economic

$8 million matching grant will enhance economic development;regional health care systems to benefit

development by training an es-timated 460 students in the first three years of operation with stu-dent enrollment projected to grow in each of the following five years. The funds also will allow RCC to expand partnerships with hospitals and other local and regional health providers.

The Legislature’s principle in providing capital construction bonds is economic development and training for high-demand jobs, according to President Angstadt.

“We anticipate 460 graduates from health care programs over a three-year period, employed in essential allied health careers, which will provide an additional $16 million to regional private payrolls,” he noted.

RCC currently offers allied health care programs in such areas as dental assisting, nursing assistant, and emergency medical technol-ogy. Every year, approximately 125 students graduate from these programs, move into the workforce and begin their careers — and the demand is growing. RCC also offers professional health care train-ing including nursing, pre-dental hygiene, pre-medical imaging, and

pre-medicine programs (dentistry, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, and veterinary).

“We continually have many more applicants than we have space to accommodate,” Angstadt explained. “In 2012, our dental assistant program had more than 50 applicants for just 24 slots, and every seat in our nursing assistant class filled within minutes after registration opened. Due to space and staff limitations, we are able to offer training for only 10 of the 26 highest-demand health care oc-cupations,” he added.

Employment in the health care sec-tor is strong and provides a good opportunity for RCC graduates. Health care providers in the area have unfilled positions, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects employment in these oc-cupations to grow by 35 percent in


the next decade. Locally, the state Employment Department reports the number of jobs available in allied health fields in Jackson and Josephine counties will grow an average of 22 percent between 2010 and 2020. Currently, approximately 90 percent of RCC students find jobs in their career area within six to nine months of graduation.

“All these factors point to a tremen-dous demand in our area – and the nation – for qualified health care graduates,” Angstadt said. “In response to this escalating need, we have worked with a local consor-tium of health care employers to develop a response. The result is a proposal to expand our allied health programs to increase the number of students we can accept and add programs in areas identified by local providers as having the greatest need,” he explained.

“In order to achieve these goals and position ourselves for future growth, expansion and upgrades to our health and science facili-ties, labs and classroom spaces are necessary,” Angstadt concluded.

RCC’s plan is to phase in expan-sion beginning with programs for Certified Nursing Assistant – Acute Care and Clinical Laboratory Assistant. Rogue also has entered agreements with two other Or-egon community colleges to give students training opportunities in physical therapy and occupational therapy assistant programs.

The college also has plans to pro-vide training for highly skilled po-sitions in many other areas and is working with industry partners to build a 50,000-square-foot flexible technology lab. A $500,000 state matching grant, already in hand,

would be used to develop the flex tech lab: high-bay shop spaces with moveable walls that would allow quick reconfiguration for different types of training. The lab’s design also would make it easier to add new programs quickly as demand arises.

“We are working with employers to develop the skilled employees they need to succeed,” Angstadt said. “We are creating the right train-ing for the right people at the right time.”

RCC’s allied health programs will train hundreds of students over the next three years.


The Morris Family Founda-tion received the Rogue Community College 2013

Outstanding Citizen Award.

Given in appreciation of the hundreds of student scholarships the foundation has provided over the years, the award was accepted by Gary Rosenberger, chair of the Morris Family Foundation Board of Directors, and by board member Eric Lieder. Since being estab-lished in 2006, the Morris Family Foundation has given more than $1.9 million dollars in scholarship support to RCC students through the RCC Foundation.

“Nearly 320 students have received approximately 350 scholarships for over 20 different majors,” said RCC President Peter Angstadt in presenting the award June 15 at RCC’s 42nd annual commence-ment. “These scholarships have allowed high school students access to college, which allows them to

Morris Family Foundation wins RCC’s Outstanding Citizen Awardearn RCC certificates and creden-tials toward degrees before they complete high school,” he told the audience.

“Upwards of 200 Morris Family Scholarship recipients have contin-ued their education at RCC, and over 100 others have gone on to other community colleges or four-year colleges,” he added.

The Morris Family Foundation provides three scholarship funds:

• The Earl Morris Scholar-ship aids RCC students who attended any public Jackson County high school in pursu-ing a career and technical certificate or degree.

• The LaRue Morris Scholar-ship is awarded to students graduating from Butte Falls, Crater, Eagle Point and Rogue River high school pursuing a career and technical certificate or degree.

• The John and Lillian Morris Scholarship is for students currently attending Butte Falls, Crater, Eagle Point and Rogue River high schools who also enroll in RCC career and tech-nical programs, earning both high school and college-level credits. The funding pays for students’ courses and materials and has even funded the cost of transporting students from their high schools to RCC.

RCC’s annual Outstanding Citizen Award was initiated in 1987 by the RCC Board of Education to honor those who have provided distinguished service to the college and its community. Past recipients were Alan DeBoer, 2006; Dean and DonnaJean Wendle, 2007; Bob and Barbara Bean, 2008; Mark Knouff, 2009; Dick Rudisile, 2010, Dr. David Trump, 2011; and Glen E. Guttormsen, 2012.

RCC is where it all started for Amanda Holbrook.

“If it weren’t for Rogue, I don’t know where I’d be. Now I have all these hopes and dreams for my future,” she said.

Holbrook, who graduated in 2009 from RCC, went on to Southern Oregon University, graduating in December 2011, and is now pursu-ing a master’s degree in social work at Portland State University.

Speaking about her life now and her goals for the future, Holbrook expresses her gratitude.

“Thank you, RCC, for keeping true to your mission,” she said.

Before attending Rogue, Holbrook worked two years at a Medford manufacturing plant. “I realized I wasn’t getting anywhere with no benefits and no career goals,” she

Amanda Holbrook’s road to success began at RCCrecalled. “But I had a lot of fear around having dropped out of high school. I wasn’t sure I could handle a univer-sity.”

The small classes and one-on-one interactions with instructors and counselors at RCC put her at ease.

“The best thing about RCC was gaining confidence in myself and an academic foundation in writing, math, social studies,” said Holbrook, who graduated with a 3.7 GPA. “I felt very prepared for SOU.” She also settled on a career.

“Being a student worker in the RCC Counseling Department provided me with strong role models who are professional and compassionate,” she explained.

Holbrook’s goal is to do social work in the medical field, “so I can give back to the com-munity,” she said.

Taking RCC workshops on scholarship writing and interview skills also paid off when Holbrook received a Ford Family Foundation scholar-ship, providing up to $10,000 a year for her

undergraduate education. And by maintaining a 3.6 GPA, she has remained eligible for the same sup-port during graduate school.

While continuing her studies at PSU, she works at OnTrack Addic-tion Recovery Programs where she advocates for RCC with clients.

“I tell them Rogue’s a great place to start rebuilding their lives.”

During the past 25 years, RCC Discovery Programs have pro-vided support and guidance

to countless students in Jackson and Josephine counties.

Now, in an effort to provide bet-ter front-door services at RCC, Discovery Programs serve students in a variety of new ways. Where the program once served a core group, any student can access services at the Riverside Campus in Medford and Redwood Campus in Grants Pass.

Discovery Programs help new and returning students build skills for college success. Here’s how:

New Student Orientation This one-hour session provides enough information for students to start strong at RCC, understand what to expect next, and know where to get the answers needed to progress. The message focuses on these “how to” points: register, pay, attend, and complete.

Registration Assistance Labs In conjunction with new student orientation, time is set aside to help students with the registration process.

Start Strong CohortStudents can earn nine college-level

credits while exploring living-wage careers, financial planning for edu-cation, and strategies for reaching academic and career goals. Courses address decision-making, education plans, career exploration, and expe-riential learning in science, technol-ogy, math and computers.

SOU Counseling InternsSouthern Oregon University interns work in partnership with Discovery Programs and the RCC Counseling Department, offering individual and group counseling, designing and leading workshops, providing general student support, and assist-ing with new student orientation and registration labs.

Rogue Community Col-lege students preparing for firefighting careers have a

new piece of equipment in their training toolbox.

The RCC Emergency Services Department recently purchased a 1993 Pierce Arrow fire engine from the Medford Rural Fire Protection District for $15,000. A comparable new engine would cost more than $500,000, according to Gary Hei-gel, chair of the RCC Emergency Services Department.

Considered surplus equipment by

the Medford fire department, the engine reflects current public safety standards and will allow RCC students to train on equipment similar to that found in the field. The purchase was made possible through the support of the RCC Foundation, the Pacific Power Foundation, and the Medford Fire Department.

“I am excited about this fire engine and what it adds to our program,” Heigel said, “and I am very proud of the partnerships we have built. We are effectively preparing our

students for exciting and produc-tive careers while meeting the needs of our community.”

RCC has a long history of partner-ing with emergency services orga-nizations throughout the Rogue Valley. Through intergovernmental agreements, RCC students benefit from the use of training facilities and equipment at Grants Pass Fire, Medford Fire, and numerous Jackson County fire districts. And internship programs at several local fire departments give students the opportunity to apply their skills

Fire engine gives students hands-on training tool


while continuing their education.

In the last two years, the RCC Fire Science program has been signifi-cantly expanded and improved in response to community needs and at the request of the Rogue Valley Fire Chief Association. Curricu-lum for degrees and certificates was updated, new courses were added, new equipment has been purchased, and the Emergency Medical Services and Fire Science departments were merged to better integrate these programs.

Fire Science instructors have

partnered with other RCC depart-ments, including Construction, Automotive Technology, and Weld-ing to build fire training props that simulate the unique chal-lenges of fighting fires in houses, cars, dumpsters, and natural gas lines. And because numerous Fire Science classes now include live fire training, students are better prepared when they graduate.

“Firefighters, EMTs, and paramed-ics provide critical services in our communities and these careers provide good pay and excellent

benefits,” Heigel stated. “The education, skills, and qualifications that students obtain at RCC pre-pare them very well for this highly competitive field.”

RCC Fire Science students practice skills using newly acquired fire engine.

Ron Fox and Brett Johnson were recently elected to the RCC Board of Education.

Fox is the executive director of Southern Oregon Regional Economic Development, Inc. (SOREDI), and Johnson is a police lieutenant with the Medford Police Department.

“Rogue Community College will continue to be the key educational and technical training asset for our current and future workforce in Southern Oregon” Fox said. “I know our existing as well as future businesses will look to RCC for their ready-to-work employees – a role RCC is poised to provide.”

A near life-long Oregonian raised in Grants Pass and a graduate of the Oregon State University Business School, Fox spent 30-plus years with one of the Pacific Northwest’s leading utilities, Pacifi-Corp, before retiring in 2000. The day after leaving PacifiCorp, he put

Two new RCC Board of Education members electedhis years of experience in local and regional economic development to work as the manager of busi-ness and trade development with Oregon’s Economic Development Department.

After nearly six years with the department, Fox joined SOREDI. As executive director, he has led the award-winning organization to excellence in all aspects of its mission. And as a member of the Southern Oregon Regional Work-force Partnership, Fox has identi-fied and improved the workforce skills needed by the area’s manufac-turing and traded sector businesses.

A veteran who served in the U.S. Navy in Vietnam, Fox and his wife Paulie live in Medford.

Johnson grew up in the Central Point area, attending District 6 schools and graduating from Cra-ter High School. He believes in the bridge RCC provides from local high schools to successful careers in

Southern Oregon and beyond.

He has worked in law enforcement for 26 years, beginning his career in the U.S. Army as a military policeman in Germany in 1987. He worked for the Oregon Depart-ment of Corrections (Santiam Correctional Institution) from 1990 through 1992, then for the Department of Veterans Affairs in White City as a police officer.

In 1995, he was hired by the Med-ford Police Department where he has served as an investigator, corpo-ral, sergeant, and now as a lieuten-ant. He is the division commander for the Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement team.

Johnson graduated from the FBI National Academy in 2012 and received a certificate in criminal justice from the University of Virginia. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and an MBA, both from Corban University.

Each year I meet with hundreds of students to help them plan and move toward their college goals.

Recently, however, I’ve seen an increase in students returning to college after a prolonged absence who are just a few courses away from completing their degrees or certificates.

Why are they coming back now? Because they need that degree or certificate on their resumes, they need to get that next pay raise, and they want proof they can do it.

One student I met with recently returned to RCC just five courses shy of an Associate of General Studies degree. He’d been so eager to attend university that he left RCC before completing. But “life happened,” and he couldn’t afford to continue at university. He’s worked at his job many years but has been passed up for several promotions because he lacked a degree.

Another returning student stopped out when she was hired for a decent paying job based on her completed

Degree completion — think of it as a safety netcourse knowledge. But when the economy collapsed, she was let go and now notices most jobs require at least an associate’s degree. She needs just seven courses to complete an Associate of Applied Science Business Technology degree.

Students should think of degree completion as a safety net: “If I complete this degree and something unex-pected happens, I have a back-up plan.”

Other students take one or two courses to meet a mini-mum criterion for their job, but what if they continued their studies and completed a degree or certificate? Completion is a bargaining chip; it opens the doors to opportunity.

Life does “happen,” and preparing for the unexpected is a smart choice. If you have completed courses at a col-lege but haven’t earned a degree or certificate, I encour-age you to come back to RCC and reset your goal. The benefits can be monumental.

For many teens, turning 16 is a high point in life. With it comes new found freedom

— often in the form of a driver’s license.

RCC Driver Training helps teens acquire the knowledge and skills they need to become safe, responsi-ble drivers. And if you ask Brendan Sharp of Grants Pass, driver educa-tion really makes a difference.

Sharp, 16, took driver training at RCC over the summer. A Grants Pass High School football and track athlete, Sharp wanted to learn the rules of the road before driving on his own.

After successfully completed 30 hours of classroom training and 12 hours of in-car training with instructor Dennis Emerich, Sharp says he’s a better driver.

“There are so many things you think you know, but it’s a lot differ-

GPHS teen recommends driver trainingent than you think,” he explained. Among the skills he learned is better steering.

“I used to turn using hand-over-hand steer-ing,” Sharp explained, “but Dennis cured me of that.”

Hand-over-hand steering causes drivers to cross their arms while turning. Their hands are more likely to slip off the steer-ing wheel leading to a collision or drifting off the road. Instead, RCC trainees are taught “push-pull” steering.

Sharp also learned to use target-ing, a technique that involves consciously picking an object or spot a few hundred feet ahead of the driver and aligning the car with that object.

“I would recommend this class to other teens,” Sharp said, whose brother also took the training.

RCC has provided driver training to teens for more than 15 years and currently offers classes year-round in Josephine and Jackson counties. For more information about up-coming classes, call 541-956-7116 or visit www.rccdrivered.com.


Joseph Kosct’s passion for science has

led him on a jour-ney toward a new career as a materi-als scientist.

Kosct, who never completed high school and only recently earned a GED, set off on his road to success with the help of the Rogue Com-munity College Foundation, which awarded him the Rogue Scholars Scholarship.

The $2,500 scholarship is given an-nually to the top-scoring applicant among those seeking RCC Foun-dation scholarships. Funds for the award are provided in their entirety by the RCC Foundation Board.

“Having never completed high school was like a dark cloud hang-ing over my head,” Kosct said in his scholarship essay. “The con-

Rogue Scholar on the road to career in sciencetradiction I felt, telling my children how important education was, having never completed the process myself, was unbearable.”

“I have to admit learning how to sit still for hours at a time was a challenge at first,” said Kosct, who worked in the construction

industry from 1988 to 2011. But by employing the same effort he put into construction, “showing up on time and doing what was in front of me,” he earned a GED in fall 2011, achieving scores that placed him in the top 2 percent in the nation.

After completing his GED, Kosct began working towards an Associ-ate of Arts/Oregon Transfer degree at RCC with the aim of transfer-ring to Southern Oregon Uni-

versity. He plans to enroll in the materials science bachelor’s degree program, which integrates phys-ics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering.

Kosct has been interested in science since his early youth. As an adult, he combined his passion for prob-lem solving with a gift for creative thinking, and with his construction skills, “helped others to see their dreams become reality.” He hopes those skills, combined with his education, will lead him to be suc-cessful in a new capacity.

“I will be able to use these tools to help advance scientific areas such as recycling, nanotechnology and fuel alternatives – the possibilities are endless!”

Kosct says he’s learned he can ac-complish whatever he sets out to do.

“I am capable of reaching any goal I put my mind to,” he explained, “remembering that a person can eat an elephant by simply taking one bite at a time.”

Rogue Community College recently took a giant step toward helping students be more financially savvy when navigating college costs.

RCC has contracted with SALT, a financial literacy and default prevention program offered in partnership with American Student Assistance. Starting fall term, RCC began encouraging students and alumni to sign up for services at www.SALTmoney.org.

The aim is to engage students in learning how to man-age their money and make wise financial choices.

The average college student will spend approximately $15,000 over the course of three years to earn an associ-ate’s degree at RCC. Many students qualify for financial aid that helps pay for tuition, fees and books. But many borrow to help subsidize their living costs, and more

Season your life with SALTthan 29 percent of those who took out a loan while attending RCC in recent years have defaulted on that debt.

That’s where SALT comes in. Free to RCC students and alumni, membership allows users to opt into confi-dential money-related information and services such as newsletters, financial blogs, budgeting tools, debt repayment counseling, multi-media money savvy tips, a toll-free member-support hot line and more — all from an impartial advocate.

Kathy Pourkomami and Rocio Jiminez haven’t let a language barrier stand in the way of friendship.

They met in English as a Second Language classes at Rogue Community College and developed a bond based on shared interests and values: family, honesty, education, and hard work.

Here, in their own words, they share their experience at RCC and their new-found friendship.

Kathy Pourkomami“I came here two years ago from Iran for my children’s education. My son will be a junior in Ashland High School. My daughter was taking ESL classes at RCC with me and is now in Adult Basic Education and credit classes.

“English classes at RCC have helped me a lot. I have more confidence living in my new culture, and I have found new friends. I met Rocio, who is my best friend – like a sister. Sometimes we need to talk with our hands or look up a word on the iPad, but we under-stand each other. We invite each other to our homes with our families.

“Recently, I started working at Qzeen Armenian Deli and Cafe in Medford. I speak English with the customers. My future plans with my family are not definite, but one idea is to open a bakery with Iranian food.”

The Language of Friendship — ESL at RCC

Rocio Jiminez “I came here 12 years ago from Mexico City to be more secure and for the best life for my kids.

“I have been taking ESL classes for three years and credit vocational ESL and Early Childhood Education classes for one and a half years. My goal is to get my pre-school Child Development Associate (credential) in English this year. I already have it in Spanish. I’ve worked 11 years in the childcare field. I would like to work in a school as a teacher where I can use my child development and bilingual skills.

“I am so proud of my kids. My son graduated from North Medford High School in 2011. He is work-ing and taking RCC classes. My daughter is a senior at North Medford High School and is an excellent student. She is working as well. They are very respon-sible kids. During the school year, my husband works at Oregon Childhood Development Coalition, and in the summer he volunteers at Kids Unlimited.

“I think ESL class at RCC is the best part of my life here in the U.S. In ESL class I found my ‘sister,’ Kathy, and a lot of friends from different cultures like China, Indonesia, and South Korea. Because of ESL classes, I am more comfortable, more sure. Now I can be in any situation.”

Bill Thorndike, President

Medford Fabrication

Rogue Community College currently offers more than 70 Career and Technical Education programs. Each is designed to meet local industry needs and is customized to keep pace with technology; therefore always providing the most in-demand skills for students and southern Oregon’s employers.

There is an escalating demand for skilled workers in our region; enrollment in career and technical courses has increased 79% in the last 5 years and employment in manufacturing and technology currently account for 8% of jobs in Jackson County and 10% in Josephine County. To meet student and industry demand, RCC is planning to build a state-of-the-art facility to provide the necessary training our region requires.

Designed with southern Oregon’s small and medium businesses in mind, the RCC Flexible Technology Lab will give us the ability to respond to the region’s need for a skilled workforce, ongoing short-term training, and increasing student demand for career and technical education.

Joining Together to Meet the NeedPlease join us in meeting our region’s demand. Your contribution to RCC’s Flexible Technology Lab Initiative will help local manufacturing and technology businesses increase the quality of their workforce, attract new businesses to our area, and help RCC students train for rewarding careers. Most importantly, your gift will contribute to our community’s economic strength.

To learn more about how you can make a diff erence at RCC, please contact the RCC Foundati on at www.rccfoundati on.org or 541-956-7327.
