Giving Back in Support of Our Students MHCC staff members know how important it is to provide a great educational experience to our students. They also know just how important it is to provide financial assistance to those who need help in paying for their college education. So when it came to giving back, they did it BIG time. In fact staff busted the thermometer keeping tabs of the employee giving campaign goal and more than doubled the MHCC Foundation’s original goal of $10,000 with a combined total annual giving of more than $21,000. Most signed up to give automatically out of their paycheck each month, with their donations going to the Foundation for student scholarships.

be
a cyber hero
MHCC Computer Information Systems instructor Paul Morris teaches Cyber Security students how to set up a firewall. By 2020, nearly all intermediate level computer technical, developmental or implementation careers will require some security training.
Hacking the Hackers MHCC is One of the Few Community Colleges Offering a Cyber Security Program Everything we do in our daily lives, our national security and economic vitality depends on a safe, resilient cyberspace. But as cyber intrusions and attacks continue to increase, MHCC is doing what it can to stop the hackers. 2
mhcc.edu
The college’s CyberSecurity and Networking program is producing skilled cybersecurity professionals who are learning to keep those hackers at bay. Students not only learn how systems operate, but are conducting their own “white hat” attacks or ethical hacking on a system to reveal its vulnerabilities. For more information on this program contact Dr. Wayne Machuca at [emailprotected]

MHCC Leads Efforts in East County STE(A)M Initiative Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics
Among the fastest growing jobs in the country are those involving science, technology, engineering and mathematics. That’s why Mt. Hood Community College is taking the lead in building a workforce to keep up with the demand in the STEM sector, working alongside such partners as the Gresham Area Chamber of Commerce, Multnomah County, East County school districts, area businesses and community organizations. The East Metro STEAM Partnership is even taking it a step further adding industrial and technical arts into the initiative. The goal is to provide everyone an opportunity to engage in STEAM learning that results in a skilled workforce and increased economic opportunity. College + Community • Winter 2015

in demand “My whole life I have enjoyed learning how things work and how to solve problems with machines of all types,” shares Carpenter. This is what initially led me to the Ford ASSET program. While I enjoyed working with my hands, I wanted to do more troubleshooting and problem solving.” So Carpenter returned to MHCC and majored in engineering. He later transferred to PSU and graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. His engineering degree accomplished, he applied for a job with NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (NMHG) where he currently works.

Unplanned Second Degree Leads to Successful Career for MHCC Alum Deciding on a career can be a very exciting and trying experience. What do you want to do the rest of your life is not a question that is simply answered. But for Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) alum Jeffrey Carpenter, his indecision led to the perfect job. Carpenter first started at MHCC with the idea of becoming an automotive technician. He graduated from the Ford Asset program, but during this time realized he wanted to do more. 28

“Going in to the interview I expected to share my engineering experience and ignore my automotive background. Instead, I was primarily asked about my automotive background and was essentially hired on the spot,” said Carpenter. It was his combination of skills that NMHG wanted. “A mechanical engineer who can also troubleshoot and repair mechanical systems is in high demand,” said Carpenter. Carpenter says starting at Mt. Hood Community College really provided him the opportunity to accomplish what he did. “I always recommend new students start at a community college level. Many students, like myself, decide that their initial career choice isn’t for them. It is much easier and less expensive to do a 180 and try something different at the community college level,” shares Carpenter. Carpenter is now a Test Engineer at NMHG’s development/testing center in Fairview, Oregon. NMHG provides the strategic leadership and global support behind Hyster® and Yale® lift trucks, two of the most successful lift truck brands in the industry.
be a patron Investing in the Future of Our Students, Yoshida Family Express Their Support with $1-million Gift
Residents of Troutdale, Oregon, Junki and Linda Yoshida have played a significant role in supporting students through the Mt. Hood Community College District Foundation for many years.
Junki Yoshida tells a heartfelt story of how community college made a difference in his life. At the age of 19 he came to the U.S. from Japan. With little money and no legal status, he knew going to college would make a difference. So he traded Karate lessons at Highline Community College in Washington State for college tuition. Soon after, he met his future bride Linda. The story is one of downfalls and successes, but with a great ending. The Yoshidas own a conglomerate of companies including the internationally known Yoshida Sauce. Junki and Linda believe that without their community college experience they would not have seen the success they live today.
life,” said Junki Yoshida. “I know that we must continue to do what we can to provide other people the same opportunity that the community college provided me.” And while for many years they have supported community colleges, they decided to do something really significant by dedicating $1-million to the MHCC Foundation. “This gift is truly a blessing from the Yoshida family,” said Dr. Debbie Derr, MHCC president. “They know the importance this institution plays in the economic vitality of our community. This gift shows that they see the college as a great investment in the future of our educational efforts and especially in the success of our students.”

be a saint Barney the St. Bernard is Back! It was in 1966 that the college chose the St. Bernard as its mascot. That’s when a real St. Bernard made its debut on campus and was promptly named Barney.
THE DISCO BALL
Now, 48-years later Barney is back. While not the original mascot from 1966, this St. Bernard is two years old and owned by Gresham couple Michael and Lori Fryar. The Fryars are allowing the college to use their St. Bernard as a real live mascot. Barney has already made appearances at several events including the Teddy Bear Parade in downtown Gresham and during New Student Welcome Day at MHCC’s Gresham campus. So keep an eye out for Barney at local events as well as on the MHCC campus.
