CGCC Advising kicks off Fall term with GECS Summit

When I first started working at CGCC it became apparent that limited staffing levels at the college constrained our ability to build effective relationships with local high schools throughout our multi-county service area.

In Academic Advising we wear a lot of hats. Our duties are spread across many areas beyond providing academic guidance, career services and retention support: student outreach and recruitment, new student orientations, "on-boarding" new students, and more. With our new organizational adoption of Student Outreach And Recruitment (SOAR) as an integral part of Student Services, we are confident we can better serve our local schools with more intentionality and focus.

College launches presidential search, names interim

Board members at Columbia Gorge Community College this week selected a national search firm to lead the quest for a new president, meanwhile naming the college's chief academic officer, Lori Ufford, as interim president for the institution.

Gold Hill Associates, the firm selected by board members Tuesday night, was among five search firms responding to the board’s invitation for proposals. The firm is composed of six principal associates based across the United States. Two of them, Dr. Walter Nolte and Dr. Preston Pulliams, would be assigned to the CGCC presidential search once an agreement is formalized. Dr. Nolte recently retired as president of Casper College, Wyo. Dr. Pulliams, the owner of Gold Hill Associates, was president of Portland Community College from 2004-13.
