Hello. I'm Joanne Truesdell, the president of
Clackamas Community College and a 1982
graduate of the college.
We live in transformative times. Around the
globe, we are transforming business, education,
health care, government and more. In a changing
world, it's important to acquire the education and
skills needed to remain competitive. Clackamas
Community College can help.
Clackamas offers more than 80 career and
technical programs from accounting to nursing
to welding. Our new Renewable Energy Systems
Technology program will prepare you for work in
the growing field of green energy. We also provide a great start toward your bachelor's degree by
completing your transfer degree at CCC. We now
have three degree partnership/dual enrollment
programs with Oregon universities: Oregon State,
OIT and Portland State. These partnerships
provide a seamless path toward completion of a
four-year degree, saving time and money in the
process.
As you look through the catalog at the programs
and classes we offer, I hope you feel a sense of
possibility and excitement. I know from personal
experience that you will find a commitment
to your success in the staff and instructors at Clackamas. I wish you the very best as you begin
your education journey.
