Innovative CCC to PSU scholarship program benefits students

Michael DeShane and Keren Brown-Wilson
enjoy meeting their scholarship recipients.

In just seven years, Michael and Keren have provided annual scholarships to forty students who complete their first two years at Clackamas and complete their second two years at Portland State University.

On March 20, 2014 PSU hosted an evening for the donors and students to meet; for PSU and CCC staff to reconnect; and for students nearing completion to inspire those who are just beginning their educational journey.

As a CCC graduate herself, President Joanne Truesdell reminds the students that she, too, began at CCC.

To find out how you can provide an annual or endowed scholarship, contact Vicki Smith at 503-594-3128.

Gilia Peruzzo was a member on the original committee to start a community college in Clackamas County. The committee was successful and Gilia was honored for her work in the creation of Clackamas Community College.

CCC continues to benefit from Gilia's support as she requested donations be made in her memory to the CCC Foundation.
