President Joanne Truesdell and Carinda Ingebretson look at
Carinda's diploma from 1968.
|
Saturday, May 21, CCC's Oregon City campus was alive with activity celebrating the first 50 years of Clackamas Community College. The day started with a ceremony celebrating the restoration of the Newell Creek Headwaters. Other activities included a geocache challenge, outdoor sculpture invitational campus walk, time capsule opening and a college and alumni showcase. Carinda Ingebretsen graduated from the first nursing class at CCC - the class of 1968. She brought her diploma and other mementos to share. Darren Fort is a long-time art student. He says he's been taking classes off and on for the past 20 years. He was overjoyed when he got the call that he had won a free class at CCC in the alumni drawing. Chuck Saul was a member of CCC's first championship baseball team. He was thrilled to win a dining certificate to the Wild Hare. Maryanna Moore, a graduate of the first graduating class at CCC, won season tickets to Clackamas Repertory Theatre. It was a great day for classmates to reminisce, rekindle friendships and remember the important role CCC played in each of their lives.
