At Oregon Coast Community College, we pride ourselves on Shaping the Future Through Learn-ing. Through the many offerings showcased in this

edition of Catch The Wave, we strive to help you shape your own future, whatever your dreams may be.

We look forward to this new school year, during which your community col-lege will take its first official step on the long road (seven years) to independent accreditation, by filing our Application for Consid-eration to be heard by the Northwest Commission of Colleges and Universities at their January 2016 hearing. Meanwhile, we’re rolling out new services across the county this year. Beginning in the Fall term, we will of-fer the two-year Associate of

Science Oregon Transfer in Business degree at our North County Center in Lincoln City.

The College is also introducing a new Early College program, which will offer college-ready high school students the opportunity to take up to three college courses at one of our sites, absolutely tuition free. There will be new science courses,

including Physics, offered in Newport this year, and Calculus is coming to the Lincoln City Center this Fall. We are exploring options for what can be added to our Waldport site, which will host events including an SBDC family business workshop this term, in addition to OCCC’s Medical Assistant program.

Created by public vote in 1987, we are Lincoln County’s college. Our purpose is to meet the needs of community members such as you. Whether your goal is to take a single class for enrichment (Japanese language or shellfish ecology, anyone?), or to complete your first two years of a Bachelor’s degree , or to grow your business by working with our Small Business Development Center, we can help you realize your goals.

We know you will be pleased with our award-winning faculty, small class sizes, beautiful facili-ties, and extraordinary support services.

I am so pleased to be working at OCCC, and to plan for the future of the college together with our wonderful students, faculty and staff. We see great things ahead, including growth of the college, ex-panded offerings, serving more students and learn-ers, and helping to further develop a college-going culture in our county. We look ahead to additional ways to fulfill our mission to enrich the economic and civic vitality of Lincoln County and beyond.

As always, if you have thoughts about how we can best do that, please let us know. We are your college, and we are listening.

Oregon Coast Community CollegeJoin us on campus for a fantastic Fall!

De-Printing Nature on Fabric: Taking color out with bleach and natural itemsNature printing is the process of deriving a print from a natural object with the use of pigments, inks, dyes, or chemicals on cloth, paper or other surfaces. In this twist of nature printing, a bleach product is used to remove color from natural fiber fabrics., sometimes called deprinting. We’ll use leaves or shells as the carrier, giving us the details of the object. The bleach reacts with dyes and changes or removes all color. The resulting tones can often be a surprise.Using a commercial product like Soft Scrub with Bleach®, we apply the solution to the plant or shell, and place it on the fabric. The bleach reacts with the dyes in the natural fibers to remove the color permanently in the shape of the object. You may want to remove most of the color from your shirt, or make an accent print, or just cover a stain on a treasured shirt. We can also block out sections of a shirt with masking tape and deprint inside the shape. Quilters love this process because it gives fantastic designs on quilting fabric. Because the patterns are bleached, these pieces never fade. This is a fun and easy class anyone can do. After all, who hasn’t accidentally got-ten a bleach stain on clothing?

Seatauqua The Seatauqua (see-TOK-wa) was a series of workshops, lectures and excur-

sions that ran for decades in Newport. Coordinated by Oregon Sea Grant, the programs encouraged chautauqua-style discussions by all participants about arts, sciences, coastal ecology and more.

Last year, with the help of Heather Fortner, Maryann Bozza and others, Oregon Coast

Community College and the Hatfield Marine Science Center began the process of reviving

Seatauqua, with special classes and workshops. To suggest a topic for an upcoming Seatauqua

The Small Business Management (SBM) Program delivers a powerful mix of instruction in a number of vital business topics and in-depth, one-on-one consultation with a personal business advisor. The program begins in September and runs through June, and features class times and schedules designed

to work around the demands of your full-time job and family obligations.

Hundreds of Lincoln County’s leading businesses were helped along the way over the past two decades in the Oregon Coast

SBM. Now is the time for you to join them!This year, Oregon Coast Community College’s SBDC will

present two SBM cohorts; with one group meeting monthly in Newport, the other one meeting monthly in Lincoln City.

You can join this revitalized program, which will feature a powerful financial literacy segment in the first term along with a “self-directed” program in the Winter and Spring terms, when participants will be able to choose the classes and programs best suited to meet their needs, and those of their businesses.

What keeps you up at night?

How would you like to have your own personal business consultant to meet with every month? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to pick up the phone or e-mail someone whenever you had an inspiration, or a challenging business question?

For almost two decades, the Oregon Coast Community College’s Small Business Development Center has offered a powerful Small Business Management Program,

which can help you:• Determine the exact level of sales

that you will need to be profitable and pay for new assets, pay existing loans and make a living.

• Read financial statements, and master the 25 key words that will make you sound like you have an MBA.

• Track two expense percentages which are critical to your business’ success.

• Know the answer to the ques-tion, “Why should I choose you?” by developing your Unique Value Proposition.

During your year in the SBM pro-gram, you’ll also learn how to use the latest tools to build a team – consist-ing of your employees or a network

of independent contractors – so you can offer the highest value, the best price and the lowest cost to your steady customers.

Over the course of a three-term academic year, our participants receive:• Ten one-to-one, two-hour meetings with an SBDC advisor• Meetings with an informal group of a number of other SBM participants• Nine SBM classes, plus access to more than a dozen additional sessions or

workshops attended by your business peers.

The cost of the program is $900 a year. All businesses will qualify for one or more scholarships that typically bring the yearly cost down to between just $150 and $600, depending on funding from our sponsors. To apply to the SBM program, with or with-out financial aid, visit oregoncoastcc.org/sbdc, or call 541-994-4166.

As Catch the Wave went to press, spaces were still available for the ‘15-16 SBM Program. Call 541-994-4166 today to find out whether you can apply.

And, this Fall, Oregon Coast Community College will present a 10-week Real Estate Pre-License course, a course designed to help aspiring Real Estate brokers launch their careers here on the Central Coast.

The class meets the 150-hour Oregon Real Estate Agency re-quirement to qualify to take the Oregon State Real Estate Broker License exam.

It’s never too late for college!65+ residents receive FREE tuition for OCCC credit classes

The pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong process, and OCCC is pleased to offer senior learners the opportunity to enhance new and existing skills through challenging and intellectually stimulating programs. If you are an Oregon resident who is 65 or older, you may be eligible for free or discounted tuition rates.

“As a life long learner and someone very familiar with the high qual-ity of instruction at OCCC,” said Jane Hodgkins, “I was very excited to take advantage of the senior waiver and enroll in an art class this sum-mer. The class has been challenging and it’s inspiring to see the work of my fellow students. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s available for fall term.”

Seniors get free tuition for credit classes when taken for an audit grading option. Auditing is taking a class without receiving a grade or credit. You can only audit a class if there are still seats available on the first day of class. This 100% tuition waiver does not cover lab fees or other class fees. Many classes fill up early, so space is not guaranteed. The only way to secure a spot in a class is to register early and pay full tuition. Auditing students may register for up to eight credits per term.

It’s easy to audit a class at OCCC:1) Find the credit class you want to audit on pages 12 & 13.2) Complete the waiver form found at oregoncoastcc.org/tuition-discount-seniors, and bring it to first day of class.3) Ask the instructor if there is space available in the class, and if the class can be audited. 4) Take the signed form to the front desk at OCCC’s Central Campus or the North County Center.5) Pay course fees and purchase textbooks and/or other ma-terials not covered by the tuition waiver. That’s all you need to do – except to enjoy your class!

*Please note: Instructors determine whether their courses can be audited. Senior Option Waivers cannot be used to:• Take classes for credit that have wait-listed students or displace credit students paying tuition;• Register for classes in limited-entry programs (i.e. Aquarium Science and Nursing)

As some classes do not fill and are subject to cancellation, those seeking to audit certain classes may not be informed of whether a class will be held until on or about its scheduled start date. All auditing participants are subject to the same codes of conduct and behavior as other students, and to the procedures detailed on the OCCC Tuition Waiver Form.

For more information about tuition waivers and credit class schedules, call 541-867-8501 or check the online schedule, at oregoncoastcc.org.
