Clatsop Community College begins this year with real momentum, and I want to share some highlights with you. Through a growing laptop refresh program, supported by community partners, students also have updated devices so they can fully participate in today’s learning environment. With support from local hospitals, our nursing program has added resources and continues to lead the state in pass rates. By working with our community and industry partners to secure the required matching funds, we can bring eight million dollars in state investment to Clatsop County. What strengthens our college strengthens our community and the entire region.
