STTACC Support for Washington State Classified Employees

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is impacting our country in an unprecedented way. We are proud to be members of the education community and understand that we all face unique challenges at this time. Your safety is a priority and as such the annual conference will be re-imagined as an online teleconference series hosted by Tacoma Community College. STTACC will continue serving the classified staff community online and look to you to know what is important to you now.

More on Change: The Heart of the Matter

More on Change: The Heart of the Matter

February is the shortest month of the year, but did you also know it was National Heart Month on February 7.  Many celebrate Valentine’s Day on the 14th, and I would like to see just as many follow a practice of 28 ways in 28 days. This is not only a time to check our internal health, but an excellent time to accept changes in the 2019-2020 academic year.

Since announcing my replacement in September, I find myself back on the STTACC Board as Interim Region D Coordinator. Continuing education at any employee level, along with regular communication is the key and the heart of why I believe in leadership development.  As a lifelong learner, I still have something to contribute, which is one primary reason I volunteered to step in.

Systems of Change: A ctcLink Experience

by Communication Coordinator

I can’t believe it’s already December. I feel like as each year passes, time flies by faster and faster. Before I know it, January will be here and I will be celebrating my two-year work anniversary at Clark College. Even though I’ve been with Clark for two years, I feel like I’ve been here for ten years.

Working in Enrollment Services, half of my work day is spent at the front desk. Our front desk is the main stop for students if they have any questions regarding enrollment, student services, and other resources we provide. I see this position as critical with providing equitable resources for students to succeed. I perform backhand springs and gymnastics daily for students so they can walk away with the correct resources and a sense of belonging. On top of working the front desk, I’m also responsible for processing admissions applications, program plans and stacks, waivers, being a pinpoint person for various underage student programs, and much more. But, I love working with students and would do anything to take care of them.

My second year at Clark focused on two things: community and ctcLink. ctcLink was the resounding conversation no matter who you spoke to on campus.
