Clackamas president reports state of the college
Clackamas Community College President Tim Cook reviews 2020, looks ahead to probable enrollment spike.
During his virtual state-of-the-college address Jan. 29, Clackamas Community College President Tim Cook talked a lot about adjustments at the college due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But he also discussed what the college might look like post-COVID, predicting an increase in enrollment.
Presently and perhaps not surprisingly, enrollment is down. 2020 was a year like no other, Cook said. As president of a college with 25,000 students and nearly 1,000 employees, I saw the damage COVID-19, police violence, civil unrest, wildfires and November s elections had on our community.
