Non-Voting Student Representative
Oregon State Board of Education
As one of the state’s 17 publicly supported community college districts, KCC operates under the general direction of the Oregon State Board of Education: Anthony Veliz (5th Congressional District); Kimberly Howard (3rd Congressional District); Jerome Colonna (2nd Congressional District); George Russell (At Large); Bridgett Wheeler (At Large); Jennifer Scurlock (At Large) and Guadalupe Martinez Zapata (At Large).
In addition, the State Department of Education administration includes Colt Gill (Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction and Director of the Oregon Department of Education) and Patrick Crane (Director, Office of Community Colleges and Workforce Development).
Advisory Committees
More than 70 volunteers are appointed to more than 15 advisory committees, which offer professional advice and support to instructional programs, enabling the College to align its programs to current workplace practices and employment opportunities. All career and technical programs have advisory committees.
Foundation
The Klamath Community College Foundation raises and invests funds for college programs, scholarships, and capital needs.
Program Support
Because the State of Oregon provides only part of the funding that is needed to finance instructional programs, donations from businesses and individuals are vital to support KCC’s ability to provide education and training to more than 5,000 students each year.
Scholarships
The Foundation solicits funds for scholarships, which allow many individuals to attend college who might not otherwise have the financial means to do so. Tax-deductible gifts to support KCC programs and students should be made payable to: Klamath Community College Foundation, 7390 South Sixth Street, Klamath Falls, OR 97603. Call 541-880-2234 for more information.
Foundation Board
The KCC Foundation Board consists of the following members: Steve Tippin (Chair); Judy Henn; (Vice Chair); Dawna Oksen (Treasurer); Dr. Scott Powell (Board Member); Carlos Soriano (Board Member); Victoria Flowers (Board Member); Marcus Henderson (Board Member); Morgan Lindsay (Board Member); Jean Pinniger (Associate Member); Jim Bellet (Emeritus Member); and Kenneth DeCrans (Board of Education Liaison).
