Calendar | Welcome & Farewell |
On the off chance someone hasn’t heard: BCC has received preliminary approval from the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to offer a Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiation and Imaging Sciences.
The proposed program now goes to the state Higher Education Coordinating Board for approval. The Board is expected to review the proposal at its May or July meeting. Approval also is needed from the college’s accrediting agency, which is expected to issue its response in the fall.
If approved, the program would be the only one of its kind in the state and one of just a few in the nation. The first classes would begin in September 2007.
To read BCC’s news release about the program, go to: http://www.bcc.ctc.edu/news/releases/archives/2006/BaccalaureateSBCTC4-5-06.asp. To read the baccalaureate degree proposal, go to: http://bcc.ctc.edu/bas/. For further information contact: Paula Boyum at X2265 or pboyum@bcc.ctc.edu.
Four BCC students became heroes last month when they tackled an armed robber and held him until police arrived. None of the students was hurt. None of the students -- Scott Davis, Tom Blanding, Rick Scharbau and Cortney Conklin -- was hurt. All are 2005 graduates of Woodinville High.

A new agreement between BCC and UW Bothell makes it possible for BCC students to take classes and use resources at both schools concurrently and qualify for guaranteed admission to all three UW Bothell degree programs: Business Administration, Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences and Computing & Software Systems.
BCC already sends more students to the UW Bothell for their junior and senior years than any other school in the state.
The agreement, which took effect this quarter, builds on an ongoing relationship between BCC’s Business Division and the UW Bothell Business School, both of which are founding members of the Bellevue Entrepreneur Center and have offered student consulting services to underserved minority- and women-owned small businesses.
For more information, go to http://www.bcc.ctc.edu/advising/UWB-DuallEnrollmentNewsRelease.htm
or call Arlene Hruby at X2307.
Funds to keep the opportunity for higher education open to all and to enable BCC to continue developing innovative, high-quality programs above and beyond the level funded by the state, will be the focus of the BCC Foundation’s “Creating Opportunities” luncheon April 26.
The luncheon begins at noon at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. Anyone is welcome to attend, and a donation of $150 or more is encouraged. Reservations are required and may be made by calling X2386 or going online to http://bcc.ctc.edu/foundation/luncheon/invitation/rsvp.asp
If you can’t attend the luncheon but would still like to support the cause go online to https://www.bcc.ctc.edu/secure/foundation/.
Wells Fargo Bank is the primary luncheon sponsor.
For further information, please contact Kara Talbott at X2945 or ktalbott@bcc.ctc.edu. http://bcc.ctc.edu/foundation/luncheon/invitation/
Joining the BCC Reads dialogue, noted Seattle artist Ellen Sollod has installed a sculpture on campus that draws parallels between concepts from The Botany of Desire and today’s housing market bubble. The art will be displayed in front of Carlson Theatre until April 25.
Sollod’s sculpture was inspired by the book's discussion of “tulipmania” in 17th century Holland.
“’Tulipmania’ was the name given to wild speculation in tulip bulbs,” Sollod said. “Some prized varieties came to be more costly than an Amsterdam house at the time, and ordinary people sold businesses, farm animals and even dowries to buy them. Eventually, oversupply caused the market to collapse, dealers went bankrupt and many people lost their savings. I see ominous parallels between that phenomenon and today’s housing market."
The sculpture, one in a series Sollod has created in response to public issues, consists of six 55-gallon drums labeled as cans of a food product called “the American Dream.” Five of the cans represent houses, and rather than listing nutrition facts their labels will describe "real estate facts" – such as status, street appeal, location and even buyer's remorse – and a dubious list of ingredients. The sixth drum will be planted with tulips.
Sollod will discuss her work in an Earth Week lecture in room C130 at 1:30 p.m. on April 19.
BCC’s International Student Programs (ISP) department has been awarded an Export Achievement Certificate by the United States Department of Commerce. The presentation was made by U.S. Department of Commerce Director Patrick Wall during opening ceremonies for the American Education Fair in Dubai Feb. 14. The award recognizes ISP’s achievements in attracting international students to BCC over the past year. BCC hosts about 600 international students annually.
Graduates of BCC’s Radiation Therapy program continue their outstanding success in passing certification exams. One hundred percent of the program's 16 graduates in 2005 passed the national certification exam this yeara. Five scored in the top 5 percent, and three more in the top 10 percent, out of nearly 1,000 therapists who took the exam. Combined, the scores of BCC’s graduates placed the college among the top five of the 90 programs represented.
Note to Jean Floten from Matt Groshong: “I was at Costco last night, and the young woman helping me told me her boyfriend graduated from Harvard and now wants to go to medical school there. We then had a short chat on colleges. She mentioned how much her boyfriend disliked [We won't name the school, but it's a prominent, local four-year university -- ed.] and how much he loves BCC, where he is currently taking his pre-med prerequisites! I was pleased to tell her that’s where I work."
Q. “What has over forty arms, three-years-plus of documented self-study, and never sleeps?
A. Interior Design and Art Department faculty and administrative staff, preparing for an Interior Design accreditation visit.
Seeking their first-ever accreditation, the Interior Design program will host representatives of the Foundation for Interior Design Education and Research (FIDER) from April 22-25. The visitors will interview faculty and students, review student work, sit in on classes and get to know BCC administrators and resources prior to making an accreditation recommendation to the FIDER board.
In anticipation of the visit – and to spread the word about the outstanding work of BCC’s design students – the Interior Design program invites everyone to an open house on Wednesday, April 19, from 3-5 p.m. in the A265 student lounge, to view student work and talk with Interior Design students, faculty and advisory board members.
BCC's Interior Design program enrolls more than 500 students and is widely accepted as one of the best such programs in the state.
The BCC Jazz Band played to enthusiastic and loudly appreciative crowds recently in a series of concerts in Czechoslovakia.
Mixing performances with sightseeing on a 10 day excursion starting March 25, the 22 student musicians played four venues: the Conservatory of Jaroslav Jezek, the International School of Prague, Dvorak Hall and a Theater in Slany, a small city that is a highly-regarded Czech music center, 40 kilometers from Prague.
The BCC Jazz Band is becoming well known abroad, having been exceptionally well received on numerous trips over the past 10 years to China, Italy, Germany and France.
The BCC musicians found Prague to be a jazz-loving city.
“I saw more jazz clubs there in Prague than I’ve ever seen in New York,” noted Hal Sherman, the band’s director.
The band returned April 4, and is looking forward to performing at the Tacoma Jazz Festival on April 22, the Triple Door in Seattle May 23, and at Tula's in Seattle on June 8th.

Although Campus Operations services BCC’s elevators regularly, the potential for mishap still exists. Follow these guidelines to guard your safety;
| • | Always watch your step as you enter or exit. The car may not always be exactly level with the floor. |
|
| • | Don’t touch or place your hand between the doors. Use the Door Open button to reverse a closing door, or wait until the car returns. |
|
| • | Never use elevators during fires, blackouts or power shortages or in the event of an earthquake. Use the stairs instead. |
|
| • | If an elevator stalls between floors, summon help by pushing the alarm and emergency call button. Never try to climb out of an elevator. |
|
| • | If during your ride you suspect anything is wrong with the elevator, please call Campus Operations at 2376 as soon as you can. |
