Warm welcome to PCC Cascade. I love our Cascade campus and life at PCC and I know you will too! Looking forward to seeing you around and saying “hi”. Portlandia welcomes you too. Best wishes for your new job-from the sound of it-I think you will do great. I’m glad that you also think that student services and community relationships are important.

I agree that our educational institutions continuously bring individuals from outside of Oregon and this is a pattern with Portland Public Schools as well. We DO have highly qualified individuals who are native to this community and know from the inside what is best for our community.

I welcome Karin Edwards and wish her every success. However, I must admit it is curious to me that so many important positions in Oregon’s public institutions are filled with individuals from far away places. Is that reflecting a deficiency in Oregonians? Are there no Oregonians qualified to fill our upper level Oregonian institutional positions? Is that because Oregonians are intellectually deficient and unqualified to fill these important state positions? How did Oregon become the great state it is, with such great public institutions, without hiring from out of state?
