The College

I have an opportunity to meet with College President Greg Hamann on Friday. Today a neighbor who lives above John Warren Field expressed serious concerns about how building there might affect his house, which is on the hill just above the field and apparently a known slide zone. I'll try to talk some geology with Dr. Hamann. Any questions of your own?

Here's the short version of what I believe about the college: It should be a crowning glory of Clatsop County. People from all over the world should want to go to Clatsop to be trained in maritime services, marine sciences, theater arts, health care and hospitality -- a "college of choice, not convenience," based on "five spires of excellence," as Betsy Johnson has said.

Would a new campus help attain that? Maybe. If you are undecided, what (other than it being of no cost) might make up your mind?
