EVERETT COMMUNITY COLLEGE ANNUAL REPORT 2014

In 2006, I chose Everett Community College.

I came to EvCC for many of the same reasons more than 19,000 students every year choose EvCC – outstanding educational and job training programs, talented and dedicated faculty and staff, the college’s long history of serving the various needs of communities in Snohomish County, and the focus on student completion and success.

In my eight years at EvCC, I’ve enjoyed seeing the college grow and change. More than $150 million in new facilities have been constructed and the grounds rehabilitated into a very attractive and modern setting. The college has become a valued economic partner through new program development to address the needs of a rapidly changing workforce and emerging businesses and industries. Globalization has enhanced student life. Pathways for Snohomish County high school graduates to EvCC have been enhanced through curriculum alignments that will improve the college experience.

Enhanced technology has grown online learning and expanded college availability to more working and place-bound students. Also, the college continues to bring local access to four-year degrees through partnerships with public and private four-year institutions. And perhaps most importantly, more students have been attending and graduating.

More changes are coming! EvCC completed a $3.75 million remodel of a college-owned warehouse to

create the new Advanced Manufacturing Training & Education Center (AMTEC) to expand aerospace and manufacturing related job training programs.

Students are traveling the world from Costa Rica to Indonesia to learn more about different countries and cultures. Innovative learning is growing, such as our dual credit Ocean Research College Academy program for high school junior and seniors.

Washington State University is now on the EvCC campus leading the University Center and partner four-year institutions to increase four-year degrees and graduate programs locally. And EvCC continues to engage business and the community in the implementation of our strategic plan.

Like many business and community leaders over the past 73 years, I chose EvCC to experience and promote student success, community engagement, and to contribute to the quality of life in our communities, region, and state.

Thanks to our donors, legislators, our community partners, and our faculty and staff for making Everett Community College a quality learning institution and an engaged partner.

Sincerely,

Dr. David Beyer

Terrance Hall got a job the week before he graduated.

Hall, 29, of Everett, earned a precision machining certificate in six months. He now has a full-time job with benefits.

“As soon as I got into the program, I fell in love with it,” he said.

Hall is now working on his associate’s degree. In September 2014, he and other students studying advanced manufacturing started classes at EvCC’s new Advanced Manufacturing Education and Training Center.

The 37,000-square-foot center will train students for high-demand jobs in manufacturing and aerospace. It’s located at 909 N. Broadway at College Plaza in a $3.75 million renovation of a college-owned warehouse.

“AMTEC will allow us to train students and incumbent workers for the latest technology and high-demand skills required by employers,” said John Bonner, EvCC executive director of Corporate & Continuing Education. The center brings together six programs – manufacturing pre-employment, precision machining, composites, engineering technician, welding and fabrication, and quality assurance.

AMTEC is opening as EvCC receives more than $1.5 million in new state funding to train students for aerospace jobs.

The college received funding for 108 additional FTEs (full-time equivalent students) in precision machining, including money for instruction, curriculum design and equipment for the new precision machining lab at AMTEC.

The state also funded 35 additional FTEs in engineering, resulting in more math, physics and engineering classes, plus a new engineering lab and updates to a computer lab.

The changes are part of almost $150 million in new construction at EvCC in the past eight years. In 2013-14, the college also opened an expanded Veterans Resource Center, renovated the campus bookstore and started an update to Olympus Hall, one of the college’s oldest buildings.

GROWTH: NEW BUILDINGS, NEW PROGRAMS

GROWTH: NEW BUILDINGS, NEW PROGRAMS

At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, engineers asked intern Amy Felt where she was earning her master’s degree.

“I told them I was finishing my second year of college,” said Felt, who studied mechanical engineering at EvCC. “Most people were surprised I went to a community college.”

Felt said her engineering projects at EvCC gave her an edge.

At EvCC, “not only do you know your professor and they know you by name, but it’s smaller so you’re able to do more. Here, you do an application project every quarter. The projects we did here – compared

to the university students who don’t have those – give community college students an advantage,” Felt said.

After Felt returns from her summer NASA internship, she’ll start Washington State University’s mechanical engineering program, which is offered at EvCC’s campus.

Felt was one of more than 2,000 students who earned a degree or certificate in 2013-14. EvCC is committed to helping more students succeed.

EvCC is an Achieving the Dream school, a grant that supports the college’s ongoing efforts to increase the number of students who stay enrolled and graduate.

STUDENT SUCCESS

In Fall 2013, EvCC began requiring all students to meet with an advisor prior to enrolling in their first quarter classes. In Fall 2014, the college will add a new requirement to help students start off well – a 2-credit College 101 class.

EvCC also received a $39,500 grant from College Spark Washington to study student success in math.

The two-year grant funds a study led by EvCC math instructor Christopher Quarles, who is working on the project with EvCC Institutional Research director Alec Campbell and University of California, Berkeley researcher Mickey Davis.

“The grant will help fund research that examines the relationships between how much students learn in a math class, their demographics and their likelihood of getting through college math,” said Quarles, of Edmonds. “It will help us figure out which college strategies help students do well in math and get a degree.”

One strategy that the college knows is working is its new peer mentoring program, P.R.O.P.E.L.S., which matches students with peer mentors to help them reach their academic goals. The program was started in Fall 2013.

In Fall 2013, EvCC cosmetology students traded a 6.2-pound textbook for a 1-pound iPad.

The swap didn’t cost students any extra (the textbook was $400), and the iPads have the online version of the cosmetology text, plus a place to create an online portfolio and the option to use it to accept credit card payments for work after graduation.

“The iPad is more versatile,” said cosmetology student Christina Bui, noting she can show clients options for hairstyles and keep records about color and haircare preferences. “It makes the time with your client more personal and professional.”

The switch to iPads reflects the college’s interest in bringing innovative ideas into the classroom. EvCC is investing in new technology throughout the college, including $330,000 for new computers and $150,000 for netbooks.

Faculty members are also creating open educational resources through the Textbook Alternative

Committee coordinated by EvCC’s eLearning department. The goal is to create resources for classes that are $30 or less.

“It’s one way we can lower costs for students,” EvCC eLearning Director Alyson Indrunas said.

For Andrea Cahan’s math 98/107 class, she made the course completely open resource, saving students $400. She was honored by her peers with Washington state’s 2014 college mathematics teaching award for excellence and innovation in teaching.

EvCC students are gaining recognition for their innovation, too. Five students completed projects plus other course requirements to graduate from the college’s honors program, including Tanner Gaskin, 17, of Arlington.

Gaskin, who plans to earn an engineering degree, designed and built a robot that is controlled by hand motions.

INNOVATION: NEW WAYS TO LEARN

In a building filled with new labs and cutting-edge health-care equipment, some of the most exciting technology at EvCC’s health sciences building is on the roof.

Thanks to grants from Snohomish County Public Utility District and Washington state, the college installed a 19.2 kilowatt solar photovoltaic array on top of Liberty Hall in September 2013. The system is the largest solar array funded by the PUD to date.

“The partnership with the state and PUD reflect the college’s lasting commitment to sustainability,” said Pat Sisneros, EvCC Vice President of College Services.

EvCC has partnered with Snohomish County PUD on more than 40 projects since 1999, resulting in utility savings of more than $70,000. The partnership reflects the close relationships EvCC has with business and industry. The college also works directly with employers to ensure graduates are prepared for the workforce and partners with K-12 districts on curriculum and student success initiatives.

EvCC’s partnership with Seattle Goodwill Industries earned the college recognition as an outstanding community partner (nonprofit) in February 2014 for assistance with Goodwill’s new Marysville Youth Aerospace Program.

EvCC supported the development of the program, including creating a pre-employment course and offering tours and demonstrations to youth participants.

PARTNERS: CHANGE HAPPENS TOGETHER

In June 2014, the classroom for 11 students varied from a traditional soy factory to the Bromo volcano to Hindu Javanese highlands.

The group traveled to Indonesia for two weeks – the first time an EvCC class was held in central Java.

“Talk about learning through experience,” said EvCC anthropology instructor Cynthia Clarke, who organized the for-credit trip.

EvCC students also traveled to Costa Rica, Spain, and the Dominican Republic as part of the college’s efforts to promote cultural pluralism and global readiness.

Students also learn global and cultural connections in the classroom, through community events, and by learning with students from around the globe.

More than 300 international students from 24 different counties attended EvCC in 2013-14, the sixth year of growth in the college’s international education program.

Community participation – from events focused on diversity to an evening lecture sponsored by EvCC with Princeton professor Dr. Cornel West – are also important parts of the college’s commitment to cultural pluralism and global readiness.

In March 2014, more than 2,100 high school and middle school students attended the Students of Color Career Conference at EvCC – a record number.

were some of many earned by faculty and staff in the past year.

In 2013-14, EvCC also welcomed new leaders, including Vice President of Instruction and Student Services Alison Stevens, Chief Diversity Officer María Peña and four new deans: Katie Jensen in Basic Skills and Developmental Education, Ryan Davis in Business and Advanced Technology, Eugene McAvoy in Communication and Social Sciences, and Jason Smith in Health Sciences and Public Safety.

“EvCC is doing fantastic work, and I’m excited to be part of the college’s future,” Stevens said. “The college is well known throughout the region and state for innovative initiatives.”

Medical assisting instructor Beth Adolphsen is known as a leader in her field and in the classroom.

“Beth has an enormously powerful way of teaching,” one of her students wrote in award nomination for Adolphsen. “She presents information in a very interesting and understandable format.”

In June 2014, Adolphsen received the George Shuh award for faculty, the college’s highest honor. Her nomination also noted her leadership in the medical assisting program’s reaccreditation.

Shuh awards also went to EvCC Library IT specialist Linda Zuvich and Allison Cohen, director of the BRIDGES Center, which provides language skills training, support and advocacy services to English language learners pursuing healthcare, advanced manufacturing or aerospace careers. The awards

400 wins.

EvCC women’s basketball coach Chet Hovde didn’t know he’d reached that milestone until well after his team beat Shoreline Community College, 69-44.

“It was a surprise,” said Hovde, who’s coached basketball for 39 years, including 26 as the women’s head coach at EvCC.

Hovde celebrated his 400th career win as a coach in January 2014, but he said he enjoys his job off the court just as much.

“When I was younger,” Hovde told The Herald, “winning and losing were the most important things. And they still are (important), but now I can look back and see girls who are doing things in life (after basketball).”

“They’re becoming teachers and they’re having kids … and being here has given me an opportunity to guide them,” he said.

Forward Ashley Albertson, who struggled in some of her classes, brought up her GPA with Hovde’s encouragement. “He makes sure, every practice, to ask ‘How are your grades?’” Albertson said. “He’s never given up on me.”

Those kinds of lessons from sports at EvCC last a lifetime, said pitcher Zach Simons, who was inducted into the college’s Athletic Hall of Fame at a ceremony in June 2014.

He was one of five athletes inducted, including Barbara (Bonnell) Burleson, Chris Sievers, Greg Sambrano, and Tom Wells.

The college also inducted four teams - 1954 Track, 1969 and 1970 Golf, 1981-82 Women’s Basketball, and 1994-95 Men’s Basketball.

EvCC has 11 athletic teams, including basketball, soccer, cross country, track and field, softball, volleyball and baseball.

Real estate business owner Barbara Lamoureux and former Everett City Council member Ed Morrow stayed close after EvCC, too. The two, named the college’s 2014 Distinguished Alumni, were honored for their personal and professional accomplishments.

“Barbara and Ed are known in Everett and beyond for their dedication to the community. They set a wonderful example – personally and professionally – for our current graduates,” EvCC President David Beyer said.

Jennifer Nonisa is a first-generation college graduate who credits the support of her family, college mentors, and community with helping her to stay focused in school and her career.

Today, she teaches third grade at Everett’s Whittier Elementary School and is thrilled to be a positive role model for her students.

“My time at EvCC was the exact place I finally made my decision to follow my passion as an educator,” she said. “From the time I entered EvCC’s Jackson Center to the time I walked across the stage to receive my diploma, I felt like I was part of a community.”

Since 1941, the college has educated thousands of students in our community, with 80 percent of former students staying in the area to live and work.

ALUMNI: GENERATIONS OFCOMMUNITY LEADERS

EvCC aviation maintenance students are getting real-world experience with composites thanks to the donation of a 747 aft flap through Aviation Technical Services.

“This donation increases our ability to offer our students flight control, sheet metal and composites training,” said Dave Bowen, director of EvCC’s Aviation Maintenance Technician School, who celebrated the donation Feb. 13 with ATS employees and EvCC students.

ATS facilitated the donation of the aft flap via the EvCC Foundation after the part was removed from service. The EvCC Foundation accepts equipment, technology and donations to support college students and college programs. “It’s great to have the opportunity for hands-on work,” said EvCC aviation maintenance student Hiev Nguyen of Lynnwood. “It’s very helpful for us to have new material to work with.”

Equipment donated by the Fluke Company is also changing how students learn in EvCC chemistry

EVCC FOUNDATION: THE GIFT OF EDUCATIONclasses. The donation of multimeters and dual-input thermometers is helping students focus on the key lessons from their labs.

“If you have a regular thermometer, it’s hard to read. With the Fluke thermometer, the temperature is more exact, so it enables us to focus on the lab,” said Kathryn Davis, a chemistry major who used the Fluke equipment while titrating a solution.

The EvCC Foundation also saw an increase in individual contributions in the past year, especially for scholarships.

More than 400 people attended the Foundation’s annual breakfast, which included recognition of student, alumni, and community military veterans. Funds donated at the breakfast were up 7 percent to $71,175.

“We’re thrilled by the support donors show for the students and programs here. The funds raised go directly to improving the quality of higher education in our region,” said John Olson, executive director of the EvCC Foundation.

THANK YOU EVCC FOUNDATION DONORS

NEW SCHOLARSHIP HONORS EVERETT FIREFIGHTER GARY PARKSA new scholarship honoring Everett Firefighter Gary Parks is helping educate future firefighters.

Parks’ family, his fellow firefighters and the Everett Community College Foundation have created a scholarship to honor Parks’ memory.

Parks, an 18-year veteran of the Everett Fire Department, was killed in 1987 battling a fire that destroyed EvCC’s library and student union.

The Gary Parks Memorial Scholarship will help qualified applicants enrolled in EvCC’s Fire Science program pay for tuition, books and other necessary supplies.

“This scholarship is something I have always wanted to do in my dad’s honor. I know firsthand the importance of a quality education and how it can give you an edge in the employment arena,” said Gary Park’s oldest daughter, Erin VanRy. “I have a special place in my heart for members of fire service and Everett Community College.
