The EvCC President

Hello!
It seems like quite awhile since we’ve been back to classes, especially considering that the fourth week is beginning. Of course, being out of town all of last week puts one out of touch considerably. Prior to leaving though I did enjoy the brief visit to the “Learning Communities” retreat and have heard great [...]

Happy New Year!
And welcome back. Hopefully, your holiday break brought good fortune spending enjoyable times with family and friends, and experiencing some relaxation. Tom, Janelle and I had a great train trip through the mountains and the plains to the mid-west where we experienced the wind-packed, snowy and cold winter. Visiting siblings and my [...]

Good afternoon and happy end of the quarter!
So I know everyone is rushing with the end of the quarter, last minute tasks to complete, in addition to family items for this time of year. As mentioned several times in previous blogs, it’s obvious that you all have been quit busy and it apparently was an [...]

In walking the campus, the intensity of some very busy and dedicated people is quite obvious and apparent. And it’s not surprising considering the volume of daily issues people confront including numbers of students on campus and their [...]

Even though there are frustrations with parking and driving, getting around, changing schedules, buying books, etc., the energy is positive. I hope everyone had a good first week. It’s great to have everyone [...]

Good morning!
Here we are, two weeks from classes beginning and one week from having all the college community together again. Seasonal times certainly do move quickly these days and as I might have previously mentioned, Janelle and I have been waiting for the hot summer weather our first year here. We actually enjoyed the warmth [...]
