Celebrating 70 Years<br />

2011 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


Mission<br />

EvCC creates life-changing educational opportunities where<br />

students become active learners who strengthen our diverse<br />

local and global communities.<br />

Vision<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> is the academic, technical, and<br />

cultural center of learning for our region.<br />

2011<br />

EvCC’s Featherstar survived the fire that<br />

destroyed Cascade Hall in 1987 and became<br />

part of the college’s logo in 1993.


Strategic Plan<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Strategic Plan outlines the<br />

college’s goals and initiatives. The plan, approved by<br />

the college’s Board of Trustees, is assessed annually to<br />

consider adjustments and review progress toward goals.<br />

Initiative One: The <strong>College</strong> will develop practices and<br />

procedures that build the legacy of sustainability in all<br />

areas of the college, including instruction, operations,<br />

construction, facilities, land use, energy conservation,<br />

and financial management.<br />

Initiative Two: The <strong>College</strong> will increase institutional<br />

effectiveness by attracting and retaining well-qualified,<br />

high-performing employees with multi-cultural<br />

experiences and diverse backgrounds.<br />

Initiative Three: The <strong>College</strong> will increase access<br />

and retention, with special attention to underserved<br />

populations.<br />

Initiative Four: The <strong>College</strong> will promote signature<br />

programs in healthcare, advanced technologies,<br />

sciences, entrepreneurship, and the visual arts, and<br />

serve additional regional educational needs through the<br />

distinctive University Center.<br />

Initiative Five: The <strong>College</strong> will provide innovative<br />

learning experiences for students in both traditional and<br />

alternative modes of instruction and support services.<br />

Initiative Six: The <strong>College</strong> will support educational<br />

programs that result in a more globally aware and<br />

diverse student body and workforce.<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> served more<br />

than 20,000 students in 2010-11.


Dear Friends,<br />

Seventy years ago, 128 students gathered in a converted elementary school for the first classes at <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong>.<br />

Today, <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> serves more than 20,000 students at seven locations throughout Snohomish County and online.<br />

EvCC’s alumni and operations contribute $301.8 million to Snohomish County’s economy, according to a recent economic impact<br />

study.<br />

Much has changed at the college during the past seven decades. In the past year alone, we opened a new Student Fitness Center,<br />

expanded the Parks Student Union, received approximately $6.8 million in annual grant funding, and graduated a record number<br />

of students.<br />

What hasn’t changed is our commitment to helping students achieve their educational dreams. At EvCC, students are challenged to<br />

explore, create, learn, and lead with help from faculty and staff dedicated to their success, just like they were in 1941.<br />

Back then, most students were focused on earning two-year degrees. Today, EvCC students can earn their four-year degrees on the<br />

college’s main campus through the University Center of North Puget Sound, which offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees through<br />

eight partner schools. In 2010-11, enrollment at the University Center, which will transition to Washington State University leadership<br />

in 2014, grew by 25 percent to almost 600 students.<br />

Throughout the years, college leaders have faced a variety of financial challenges. This year, EvCC faculty, staff, and administrators<br />

are working hard to serve an increasing number of students with fewer state resources. EvCC enrollment grew 13 percent during<br />

the past five years, while the percentage of the college budget funded by the state declined 19 percent since 2008-09.<br />

Through careful management of our financial resources, we are continuing to offer excellent education to train students for highdemand<br />

jobs.<br />

The college is especially grateful for the support of the community, dedicated volunteers, EvCC Foundation donors, businesses and<br />

industry as we work to keep higher education affordable for the next generation of students.<br />

I invite you join us in celebrating <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s first 70 years and be a part of providing outstanding education to<br />

our community for many decades to come.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Dr. David Beyer<br />

President

Academic Excellence<br />

From field trips to Forest Park with botany instructor Andy Holland in 1941 to<br />

analyzing sediment in Possession Sound in 2011, <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

has offered students innovative learning experiences inside and outside of the<br />

classroom.<br />

In 1941, classes were offered in a dozen subjects. Today, students can<br />

choose from more than 100 programs, including the college’s unique Ocean<br />

Research <strong>College</strong> Academy (ORCA), an early college academy for high<br />

school students. The program is moving to the <strong>Everett</strong> waterfront in Winter<br />

2012.<br />

Experience is a critical part of an EvCC education. At EvCC’s Aviation<br />

Maintenance Technician School students spend most of their time in the lab.<br />

“My favorite part is the troubleshooting – finding a problem and fixing it,” said<br />

Sam Warby, who was interviewed by CBS News in July 2011 for a story about<br />

in-demand job skills. Sam started work at Boeing five days after he graduated.<br />

EvCC has also seen demand for its health sciences programs increase. The<br />

college is working with partners, such as Providence Regional Medical Center,<br />

and using a U.S. Department of Labor grant to expand the programs.<br />

The grant, part of the $6.8 million in grant funding EvCC was awarded in<br />

2010-11, helped create EvCC’s Healthcare Pathways Center in 2011, which<br />

offers English language training to health care professionals.<br />

An <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> practical<br />

nursing student learns about child<br />

development. The college, which will<br />

open a new Nursing and Health Sciences<br />

building in 2013, has educated nurses<br />

since the 1940s.<br />

1954 1971<br />

The need for corporate and professional training is growing, and EvCC’s<br />

Corporate & Continuing Education Center is responding. The center trains<br />

more than 10,000 people per year. Offerings include the Small Business<br />

Accelerator program, which provides custom coaching with the goal of helping<br />

business owners double the size of their companies within five years.<br />

As the population of East Snohomish County has grown, EvCC has expanded<br />

offerings there, opening its East County Campus in Monroe in Fall 2010.<br />

Students can earn their associate degree there in daytime or evening classes.<br />

The college has also increased its efforts to educate students about<br />

sustainability as part of the college’s commitment to sustainability in its<br />

strategic plan and in the American <strong>College</strong> & University Presidents’ Climate<br />

Commitment. In addition to learning about sustainability in the classroom,<br />

students in 2010-11 discussed eating locally as part of the year-long EvCC<br />

Reads program, participated in the Earth Day food and farm fair, and<br />

attended a campus lecture by “The End of Food” author Paul Roberts.<br />

EvCC’s Aviation Maintenance Technician School<br />

opens at Paine Field. In 2010-11, the school doubled<br />

its freshman class and will do so again in 2011-12 to<br />

meet employer demand for aerospace employees.

Pathways Center, (center) works with students practicing<br />

1941<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> students gather on the college’s first day,<br />

September 8, 1941. At the college’s opening day assembly, <strong>College</strong><br />

President George Porter told students that they played the<br />

most important role in shaping the college’s future.


Student Success<br />

In 1943, <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong>’s first graduating class included 17 students –<br />

11 women and six men. In 2011, more than 1,800 students earned a degree<br />

or certificate from EvCC, the largest graduating class in the college’s history.<br />

Students choose EvCC today for many of the same reasons students chose<br />

to attend the college in its first years – it’s close to home, affordable, and fits<br />

into students’ lives (In 1942, 40 percent of students worked while attending<br />

school. Today, 36 percent do).<br />

“I started with just one class at a time,” said EvCC 2010-11 ASB President<br />

Stephanie Kermgard, who enrolled in 2007 while on active duty in the U.S.<br />

Navy and graduated in 2011.<br />

Stephanie counts herself among the 90 percent of students who say they’d<br />

recommend the college to a friend. Students say a key reason is the support<br />

offered throughout campus.<br />

EvCC faculty members work with students to create individual academic plans<br />

as part of the college’s new advising requirement, which started in Summer<br />

2011.<br />

To help students struggling with their classes, EvCC offers tutoring through its<br />

Rainier Learning Center, offering customized reading, writing, math, and study<br />

skills assistance to more than 2,000 students.<br />

1973<br />

EvCC students register for classes.<br />

Enrollment has grown from 128 students<br />

the college’s first Fall quarter to more<br />

than 20,000 students in all college<br />

programs and corporate training.<br />

In March 2011, EvCC strengthened its commitment to student success by<br />

joining the national Achieving the Dream project. The college will receive a<br />

$550,000 grant to increase the number of students, especially low income<br />

students and students of color, who stay enrolled and graduate. EvCC was one<br />

of 30 schools nationwide selected for Achieving the Dream in 2011.<br />

The grant will help EvCC increase its use of data “to identify its most successful<br />

practices and identify gaps so the college can find strategies to help more<br />

students reach their educational goals,” said EvCC President David Beyer.<br />

A key part of student success is campus and community involvement. In<br />

2010-11, hundreds of students participated in EvCC’s student clubs<br />

and volunteered with community organizations, raising money for Japanese<br />

earthquake and tsunami victims, collecting food bank donations, building a<br />

home with Housing Hope, donating blood, and more.<br />

Many EvCC students continue serving their communities after graduation,<br />

such as 2011 Distinguished Alumnus Dwayne Lane, who was honored for<br />

his 50 years of involvement with a wide variety of community activities and<br />

organizations.<br />

EvCC presented its Distinguished<br />

Alumnus award to Dwayne Lane<br />

in June 2011. Lane attended<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> in 1955<br />

and 1956, prior to establishing<br />

successful auto dealerships in<br />

Snohomish County.<br />

2011


Growth<br />

Just 12 days after <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> opened, its new home was in<br />

jeopardy.<br />

Neighbors opposed to the <strong>Everett</strong> School Board’s decision to use Lincoln<br />

Elementary School as the site of the new junior college forced a public vote on<br />

the issue. The college survived the electoral challenge, expanding in the seven<br />

decades that followed to a 15-building main campus at 2000 Tower Street in<br />

north <strong>Everett</strong>.<br />

EvCC also educates students at its East County Campus in Monroe, Aviation<br />

Maintenance Technician School at Paine Field, Corporate & Continuing<br />

Education Center in south <strong>Everett</strong>, School of Cosmetology in Marysville and<br />

at the Tulalip Education Center in Marysville and at several other locations in<br />

north and east Snohomish County.<br />

In 2010-11, the college continued growing, adding a new Student Fitness<br />

Center, remodeling and expanding its Parks Student Union and opening its<br />

new East County Campus in Monroe.<br />

1941<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong>’s first home<br />

was at Lincoln Elementary School at<br />

25th Street and Oakes Avenue.<br />

The college started construction in August 2011 on its new Nursing and<br />

Health Sciences building, which will be home to EvCC’s nursing, medical<br />

assisting and phlebotomy programs and other health sciences training. The<br />

center, located off of Broadway, will also include room for the Providence<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> Healthcare Clinic.<br />

“<strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> has undergone a remarkable transformation<br />

in the past five years,” said Pat Sisneros, EvCC Vice President of <strong>College</strong><br />

Services. “The new facilities are revitalizing north <strong>Everett</strong>, expanding higher<br />

education opportunities in east Snohomish County, and ensuring the next<br />

generation of students have the classrooms and labs they need to train to<br />

become part of a globally competitive workforce.”<br />

1958<br />

The college’s main campus moved to its current<br />

location at 2000 Tower St. in 1958. In this photo,<br />

2011<br />

EvCC’s Parks Student Union addition opened in March 2011. The additional 5,600<br />

square feet include a new café, remodeled Russell Day Gallery, and more study<br />

space for students. The addition was funded in part by students, who paid 40<br />

percent of the cost through the Student Campus Enhancement fee.


1948<br />

Art instructor Russell Day began teaching at <strong>Everett</strong> Junior<br />

<strong>College</strong> in 1948. He worked at the college until 1974, starting<br />

the college’s first art gallery and inspiring generations of artists.


Faculty and Staff<br />

In 1958, <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> art instructor Russell Day started the college’s<br />

first art gallery. In 2011, he returned to campus with his wife Marjorie to<br />

dedicate the gallery’s new home in the Parks Student Union.<br />

The gallery, named in honor of Russell in 2008, reopened in April 2011 in<br />

EvCC’s expanded Parks Student Union. The new space reflects Day’s lasting<br />

legacy as an instructor. He was honored for his many years of teaching by<br />

the National Art Education Association in March 2011 with the Presidential<br />

Citation Award.<br />

Russell and Marjorie, a retired EvCC English instructor, are continuing to<br />

help students through the Day endowment for student scholarships. The first<br />

Russell and Marjorie Day scholarship winner was announced at the gallery<br />

reopening.<br />

“I am honored. I’ve heard a lot about Russell Day. I’ve always wanted to<br />

meet him,” said student Sarah Molitch, who plans a career conserving and<br />

restoring artwork.<br />

Russell, who started teaching at <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> in 1949, was part<br />

of a dedicated group of faculty and staff who helped shape the future of<br />

the college in its earliest years. When EJC opened, it had 12 employees,<br />

including two full-time instructors and seven part-time instructors.<br />

Today, the college employs 400 full-time faculty, staff, and administrators, in<br />

addition to 225 part-time instructors.<br />

1971<br />

EvCC math instructor Bob Killingstad starts teaching<br />

at <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Bob still teaches for<br />

EvCC and was selected by students as a “You Made<br />

a Difference” award winner in 2011. One nominator<br />

called him “the best teacher on the planet!”<br />

2011<br />

During 2010-11, numerous faculty and staff members were recognized for<br />

their outstanding work including EvCC Director of Institutional Research<br />

Darryl Dieter, who earned an exemplary status award from the Washington<br />

<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s Humanities Association for his work with the college’s<br />

Humanities Center.<br />

Former EvCC Theatre instructor Arden Flom, who passed away in 2010, was<br />

also honored by the <strong>Everett</strong> Cultural Arts Commission for his 31 years as the<br />

college’s theatre director, directing more than 173 productions, and his work<br />

with numerous civic and cultural organizations.<br />

Associate faculty member Laura Wild was selected for the college’s highest<br />

honor, the George Shuh award, in June 2011. During the past year, she codeveloped<br />

and taught a sustainable food systems class, hosted a cooking<br />

workshop for campus, co-advised the Students for Environmental Action Club,<br />

and worked with students to plant a sustainable garden on campus.<br />

“She unselfishly gives of herself and her time to put together something<br />

great or exciting for her students,” said award nominator Carla Forney, who<br />

was also selected as a Shuh winner for her outstanding work as Director of<br />

Custodial and Grounds Services.<br />

The highest honor given to EvCC employees are the George Shuh<br />

awards, given by the Shuh family to honor outstanding faculty, staff<br />

and administrators. Winners in 2011 included nutrition instructor Laura<br />

Wild (left), Custodial and Grounds Services Director Carla Forney, and<br />

Grounds and Nursery Specialist John Syson, pictured with Tom Shuh.


Global<br />

When <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> opened, global issues weren’t an important part<br />

of most students’ lives. That changed three months later in December 1941<br />

with the bombing of Pearl Harbor.<br />

Interest in international issues grew as veterans returned home and Snohomish<br />

County increased its global economic connections.<br />

One of the ways students learned about other countries, cultures, and ideas<br />

was from their classmates. Instructor Marie Ross recalled teaching <strong>Everett</strong><br />

Junior <strong>College</strong>’s first international student in the late 1940s. By 1960, the<br />

number had grown, with foreign and local students organizing a college club<br />

to socialize and discuss global issues.<br />

In 2010-11, more than 180 international students from 23 countries studied<br />

at <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> including six students participating in the U.S.<br />

State Department’s <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> Initiative Program.<br />

The number of international students at EvCC has more than tripled since<br />

2008, due primarily to the college’s increased commitment to international<br />

outreach and support from faculty and staff who welcome international<br />

students, said Visakan Ganeson, Director of International Education.<br />

1960<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> welcomed students from<br />

around the world, including this group of students<br />

from Germany, the Philippines, Panama, and Iran.<br />

In November 2010, Visakan and EvCC President David Beyer traveled to<br />

China, visiting 17 schools and establishing partnerships throughout the<br />

country. That work continued in April 2011, leading to the opening of an<br />

EvCC office in China.<br />

EvCC is also increasing opportunities for local students to understand and<br />

experience global connections, reflecting the commitment to educational<br />

programs that result in a more globally aware and diverse student body and<br />

workforce.<br />

In 2010-11, the college offered classes in nine languages, study abroad<br />

opportunities in four countries, hosted a series of Humanities Center events<br />

focused on global issues, and sent four students to Japan for business<br />

internships through a U.S. Department of Education grant to increase<br />

international business education and training.<br />

The grant builds on existing programs at EvCC, including the college’s<br />

Nippon Business Institute and Japanese Cultural and Resource Center, which<br />

was established in 1987 to promote the study of Japanese language, history,<br />

culture, social structure, economic issues, communication styles, and business<br />

protocols.<br />

1994<br />

EvCC student Ted-David Mizingou, who<br />

came from the Republic of Congo to study<br />

at EvCC, served as the college’s Associated<br />

Student Body president in 1994-95. He<br />

returned to EvCC in 2006 to speak at the<br />

college’s graduation.


2011<br />

EvCC students Andrue Cashman (left), Nicole Signer, Michael Bresciano, and<br />

Alex Brader, pictured in EvCC’s Nishiyama Japanese Garden, participated in<br />

quarter-long internships at Japanese businesses in Summer 2011. While in<br />

Japan, they stayed at EvCC’s sister school, Aichi Toho University.


1956<br />

Dave Holden, who played for the <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> basketball team from 1956-58,<br />

was inducted into the college’s Athletic Hall of Fame in May 2011 along with four other<br />

former athletes, two coaches, and four teams. Holden, a 6-foot-3 forward, remains one<br />

of the college’s all-time leading scorers.


Athletics<br />

Dave Holden’s last game as an <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> Trojan was in the<br />

college’s new gym, which opened in 1958 for the final basketball game of the<br />

season.<br />

Fifty-three years later, he stood on stage in <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s new<br />

49,000 square foot Student Fitness Center for his induction into the college’s<br />

Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame May 18.<br />

“It’s a big honor for me that they remember me from so long ago,” Holden,<br />

74, told The Herald. “It means a whole lot that they even remembered me<br />

and thought about me for this recognition.”<br />

Holden was one of five athletes, two coaches and four teams inducted into<br />

the Hall of Fame in 2011. He was joined by athletes Ed Bucklin, George<br />

Holland, Randy Montgomery, and Nancy Snyder; coaches/administrators<br />

Joan Dugger and Jim Ennis; and the 1967 football team, the 1964/65<br />

women’s tennis team, and the 1947 and 1948 men’s golf teams.<br />

This was the third class inducted into the Hall of Fame, a new tradition<br />

honoring the college’s long athletic legacy, which started in the Fall 1941 with<br />

the formation of the college’s basketball team. Students selected the Trojans<br />

as the team name by popular vote.<br />

1967<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong>’s 1967 football team was among the four teams inducted into the<br />

college’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011. The team, which earned the state championship,<br />

included rusher Randy Montgomery, who was also honored as an individual for his football<br />

and track accomplishments.<br />

At the 2011 Hall of Fame celebration, former athletes admired the new<br />

Student Fitness Center, located off Broadway near the <strong>Everett</strong> Transit Center’s<br />

<strong>College</strong> Station. The new facility replaced the college’s 1958 gym, which was<br />

located several blocks south of the main campus.<br />

The $19.5 million Student Fitness Center includes classrooms for physical<br />

education and health programs, a gym with retractable bleacher seating for<br />

2,250, a cardio and free weight training room, a climbing wall, running track,<br />

juice bar, a multi-purpose small gym, and offices for faculty and staff.<br />

The center also includes space for intercollegiate athletics and activities. More<br />

than 250 athletes participate in EvCC’s nine league sports and intramural<br />

leagues.<br />

2011<br />

EvCC female Athlete of the Year, sophomore<br />

pitcher Allie Milless, practices before a game<br />

against Edmonds <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>. The<br />

Trojan’s women’s softball team finished second<br />

in the Northwest Athletic Association of<br />

<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s championship in May<br />

2011, the team’s best finish in its 12-year history.<br />

Team head coach Randy Smith was named the<br />

league’s softball coach of the year.


Foundation<br />

Retired <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> Dean of Students William (Bill) Deller<br />

started the EvCC Foundation in 1984 with $1,000 donated from generous<br />

community members and in-kind donations from local businesses.<br />

Twenty-five years later, the Foundation has grown to provide 122 scholarships,<br />

offer emergency aid to students, bring vital equipment into college classrooms<br />

and support dozens of college programs, faculty and staff.<br />

In 2010-11, over 400 donors made contributions to the Foundation, giving to<br />

annual and endowed scholarship funds, providing planned and estate gifts<br />

and making in-kind equipment donations.<br />

“The donations help students get the education and training they need to<br />

survive in this tough economy,” said John Olson, executive director of the<br />

EvCC Foundation. “We are very thankful for all of the generous donors who<br />

believe higher education changes lives.”<br />

Donors also volunteered hundreds of hours in support of Foundation events,<br />

including an April 2011 community fundraising breakfast and at Gusto, a<br />

1963<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> instructor Marie Ross (left) and her<br />

husband Rudolph Ross with the first Ross scholarship<br />

recipient Ruth Taggart, who received $50. Taggart graduated<br />

from EJC and the University of Washington.<br />

festival of wine, microbrews, and fine food in November 2010.<br />

As the college serves an increasing number of students as part of the region’s<br />

economic recovery, the Foundation is working to increase community support.<br />

Currently, it’s unable to help half of all students who apply for aid. For<br />

students who do receive scholarships, the funds cover only 20 percent of the<br />

cost of their education.<br />

“If donors could just see five to 10 years down the road in the life of the<br />

person they’ve helped, they’d be lined up to support the Foundation,” said Bill<br />

Deller, whose son Mike served on the EvCC Foundation Board of Drectors.<br />

Foundation Director Steve<br />

Chittenden accepts a donation<br />

to EvCC’s Library Media<br />

Center. The library and the<br />

college’s student union were<br />

destroyed by arson in 1987.<br />

The Foundation launched a<br />

fundraising campaign that<br />

raised $300,000 to help fund<br />

a new library. EvCC’s current<br />

student union, which includes<br />

the library, was named after the<br />

<strong>Everett</strong> firefighter killed in the<br />

blaze, Gary Parks.<br />
