Dear Lincoln County Community,

When good works are performed on a continual basis over a long period of time, such efforts don’t get noticed readily. I believe that many who work at OCCC contribute to the exemplary works of your com-munity college.

I agree with one of our former students who expressed that we have a “Sweet college.” Why this procla-mation? Well, he experienced good instructors, services that addressed student needs, cordial and knowledgeable staff, good facilities, and social camaraderie amongst students.

Last year, we serviced a greater num-ber of individuals (180) and increased the number of hours taught (7.2% increase) than the previous year! This increase is in contrast to the overall 4.7% decline in Oregon community college enrollment.

The College serves many types of people. High school students, retirees, business owners, individuals who are strengthening their English language skills, and students who have their sights on transferring to four-year

institutions utilize the College. The College also prepares individuals to earn their GED and to be college- and work-ready, through Adult Basic

Skills and Adult Education. Others pursue a specific course of study such as Aquarium Science, Nursing, Criminal Justice, Medical Assistant or Certified Nurse Assistant.

If you know any OCCC students, encourage them to complete their goals.

Maybe you know someone who could benefit by the positive learning environment at Oregon Coast? If so, call 541-265-2283 and we’ll lend assistance. Remember, we have a “Sweet college” that will get even “Sweeter.”

Devils Lake Water Quality 101This is an introductory class into the water quality parameters monitored on Devils Lake. Students will be provided with a basic under-standing as to why each of the parameters are monitored, when they are monitored, and by what means. This course will be part lecture, part demonstration and, depending on class size, part hands-on, as students will be given the opportunity to calibrate meters and conduct some water quality testing. While this introductory course focuses on Devils Lake, it will provide some foundation for students interested in volunteer water quality moni-toring conducted elsewhere by local watershed councils and other non-profit organizations.

Winter Term 2014

medical terminologyThis course teaches medical termi-

nology from an anatomical approach. Root terms are divided by each body system. The origin, a combined form, and an example of non-medical everyday usage is provided for each root term. Word Associations are provided as a learning tool. Unusual and interesting information is provided in regards to each term. Root terms are combined with prefixes and suffixes as your learning will culminate in the interpretation of several paragraphs of medical notes.

writing effective grant proposalsPreparing successful grant proposals to receive funding from

corporations or foundations requires careful research, meticu-lous preparation, and graceful writing. Grant administrators tell us that many grant requestors have no real understanding of the proposal writing process and as a result, their worthy causes lose out.

If you learn how to avoid the errors that lead to the rejection of your proposal, you will be better prepared to help the causes you most admire. This course will walk you through all of the essential steps--including an important discussion of what you must do when the grant arrives!

intro to microsoft accessTake control over your data! Whether you’re a novice or an

experienced database user, this course will show you how to harness the full power of Microsoft Access 2010.

In these practical and project-oriented lessons, you’ll learn how to use this award-winning MS Office software to create and customize tables. You’ll build relationships between your tables to eliminate redundancies and slash data entry time. And you’ll discover how to achieve huge reductions in data entry errors by setting default values, creating validation rules, and building input masks.

‘‘I took an ed2go class to learn how to use InDesign. The content of the course and what I learned was well worth the price. I am now proficient in InDe-sign, something that I never could have achieved by

myself in six weeks. This course helped me to upgrade my skills so that I could utilize software available in my office and create professional-looking documents for various purposes. I highly recommend ed2go courses for those who are interested in enhancing their professional skills.

– Hallie Price, Newport

I supervise the student workers in my department and recognized my need for some professional de-velopment related to this task, so I signed up for an ed2go course called Fundamentals of Supervision

and Management. Through this course, I learned how to communicate expectations more effectively, how to main-tain department motivation, how to evaluate employee performance, and how to uti-lize my employees’ strengths. In the Fall 2013 term, these student workers helped the College successfully host an outreach event at OCCC – “College Nights” – and we were all pleased with the result. The ed2go class allowed me to know what to delegate and when to be more involved.

What gets you up in the morning? What keeps you up at night?How would you like to have your own personal business consultant to

For almost two decades, the Oregon Coast Community College’s Small Business Development Center has offered a powerful Small Business Man-agement Program, which can help you with:

assistance for many SBDC programs.this year, lincoln City businesses located within the city’s urban re-

newal District are eligible for 100% tuition assistance for one business class or program per term, thanks to a generous economic Development grant.

realize that many of their neighbors, as well as their own families, may fit these criteria.

are you eligible? Call 541-994-4166 to find out.
