Campus Connection May 2021 

Celebrating Earth Day

On April 22, the Student Activities Team invited students and the campus community from the Ontario campus and the TVCC Caldwell Center to participate in celebrating Earth Day.  Approximately 200 students, staff, and faculty were treated to a fun DIY Pot Your Own Plant activity that they were able to take-a-way.

TVCC Board of Education

At the start of their April meeting, board members received on a tour of the new CTE Center by Project Manager Bernie Babcock.  The Board was impressed with the state-of-the-art facility and the many amenities available for CTE students.  Stay tuned for more news about plans for a CTE Center Open House in early fall (depending on the current COVID restrictions at that time).

All Oregon Academic Team

During this month’s Board of Education meeting, TVCC students and Phi Theta Kappa members Hannah Berger (Ranch Management Major), Chase Wilcox (Business Administration Major), and Maria Montes (Business Management-Accounting Major) were recognized as student scholars for the All-Oregon Community College Academic Team, a program sponsored by PTK, community college presidents, and the Oregon Community College Association.  In addition, Hannah Berger also received accolades for being selected as a 2021 New Century Workforce Scholar.  These three students were nominated by TVCC President Dana Young because of their commitment to academic excellence and their service to their communities.   We are proud of students like Hannah, Maria, and Chase who positively represent the gift of education and who help make TVCC a great place to be!

Four Rivers Community School Extend Thanks

FRCS students surprised President Young with a personal thank you for the College’s support in their educational journey.  Just recently, President Young was a guest speaker at their May 15, 2021 commencement.  During the ceremony, President Young offered her congratulations to the second graduating class of FRCS seniors.  

President Young took a moment to share with the students, TVCC’s graduation tradition, by asking them to stand up and point to the family members and friends who were there to celebrate with them. She also asked the graduates to remember those who have helped them along the way toward their educational success.
