Color Your World: MHCC Art Shows Showcase Inspiring Artists

Join us this fall for an epic journey through the world of art

As the warm and heavy summer air makes way for the crisp breeze of fall and the leaves change from green to gold and amber, Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) is prepping for another amazing fall art show season. The upcoming season will include a showcase of faculty and staf work as well as beautiful displays of nature, translated into expressive artwork by artist Marc Boone.

We were able to sit down and talk with MHCC Visual Arts Gallery Coordinator Jennifer Gillia Cutshall about the upcoming displays. Read more below to learn about these upcoming shows and the wider impact of these artists on our community.

Q: Who are the artists chosen for this fall’s art shows?

A: These art shows will feature professional and emerging artists from our local area and nearby regions, including some of MHCC’s own artists at the faculty show.

Q: What inspired the selection of these art shows and what themes or concepts will they explore?

A: The MHCC visual arts gallery is always changing and has 2,000 square feet of display space. Local, regional, national, and international artists were invited to apply. Members of the art faculty reviewed the proposals and chose artists who best aligned with the gallery's mission which is to bring a diverse cultural experience to the campus and surrounding area. We aim to give people the chance to see inspiring artwork from both known and emerging artists.

A: We are excited about the faculty show that will start the Holiday Art Sale season, this runs Oct. 2 – Oct. 24. This will highlight the Dec. 4 - 8 - Sale talents of our own art department including John Hasegawa, Matteo Neivert, Nathan Orosco, Edie Overturf, and more. In November, we will showcase the expressive work of Northwest artist Marc Boone. His abstract paintings refect the beauty of nature and will inspire emerging artists. Also, the MHCC ceramics club hosts a holiday art sale, which is a great place to fnd unique art gifts.

Q: Are there any workshops, lectures, or events planned alongside the art shows to enhance the overall experience?

A: The MHCC visual arts gallery will host the artist receptions during the day in order to welcome the student body and to best serve the entire campus of staf and faculty.

Q: How do you engage students and encourage their involvement in these art shows?

A: The art faculty invite classes to visit to encourage critique and dialogue. The art faculty also show current student work in the hallways and other areas that surround the gallery. This connects students to the art community and exposes them to new art styles and ideas. It is a perfect window into the vibrant art-making and art-celebrating space that exists in the art department. Last year, students had a great opportunity to explore diferent art materials and ideas at the gallery. After the pandemic, the public was welcomed back to the gallery, and they enjoyed fantastic shows with a wide range of art styles. One show called "WORDPLAY" highlighted artists who used text in their creative printmaking and media (organized by art faculty member Edie Overturf). People could interact with hands-on stations during this show. Another show, "Tightwire," brought to MHCC through art faculty member, Matteo Neivert and the High Fiber Diet group, presented fascinating fber art. It became very popular, attracting a lot of people to the artist's reception. In December, the gallery transforms with the help of the ceramics club and their holiday sale. The ceramics club also raises money for charities, and thanks to art faculty member John Hasegawa, many ceramics enthusiasts are part of the program.

Q: How do you promote inclusivity and diversity in these shows?

A: Art faculty member Nathan Orozco works to get the call for art out to underserved artists within the local and regional art community, reaching out to advocacy groups directly.

Q: Can you share any success stories or memorable moments from previous art shows?

A: I must admit that each year it’s the faculty and student shows knock my socks of. The faculty show highlights the deep well of skill and vision within the art department. And the student show is a vast, salon-style takeover of the entire space, and it’s breathtaking with hundreds of original works of art.

Q: How does the art department support and nurture emerging artists?

A: The art department serves and supports emerging artists through their curriculum, engagement with students, mentorship, open calls for art, and dialogue between the artists and students at the opening and through classroom visits.

Q: What are your hopes for the impact of these art shows on the local art scene and the college community as a whole?

A: These art shows have the power to transform and inspire. The potential is limitless! My hope is that you will join us this coming season because if the walls could talk, they would whisper, “You are invited!”

Mt. Hood Community College Theatre Department Announces Exciting Play Season

This play season, experience the gentle sea breezes and lush mountains of Hiroshima in “A Thousand Cranes”; watch a beautiful community blossom in gritty Cleveland, OH in “Seedfolks”; and walk through the turbulent halls of high school again in “Be More Chill.”

The Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) theatre department is gearing up for an exciting 2023-2024 play season. flled with diverse genres, thought-provoking themes, and gripping performances. There will be something for everyone, from heartwarming dramas to lively musicals, with stories that

will make you think and gripping performances.

The theatre department at MHCC ofers many ways for people to get involved, including acting, backstage work, and technical classes.

“A Thousand Cranes,” is a perfect play for young audiences. It tells the story of a young girl named Sadako who gets cancer as a result of the Hiroshima bombing, and her goal to fold a thousand origami cranes in the hopes of healing and peace. Through her journey, the play explores themes

of resilience, the enduring power of hope, and the devastating impact of war.

“Seedfolks” revolves around a diverse group of struggling neighbors who work with each other to transform an empty lot into a thriving garden. Through their shared passion for gardening, they learn about the healing power of nature, the importance of community, and the potential for positive change.

“Be More Chill” is a modern musical that follows Jeremy, an awkward high school student who gets hold of a pill-sized supercomputer that promises to transform him into the coolest

guy in school. As he deals with popularity and other teenage troubles, he learns useful lessons about the true meaning of friendship, self-acceptance, and staying true to himself. When selecting the plays for the season, the full-time theatre faculty work with part-time faculty and students to come up with the fnal lineup. They aim to choose plays that local high schools may not perform, allowing the community to experience fresh and distinct shows. Inclusivity plays a large role in their choices, opening the door for students of diferent backgrounds and abilities to take part.

The theatre department at MHCC ofers many ways for people to get involved, including acting, backstage work, and technical classes. Auditions for these productions are open to MHCC students as well as community members. While students can enroll in theatre classes to secure a role, community members have the option to get involved through community education classes at MHCC.

“For the students… I’m hoping that it gives them a sense of community around the college,” Daryl Harrison Carson, the theatre technical director and instructor at MHCC said, “Working toward a shared goal and learning

something along the way in the process. Aside from the hard work it takes to put on a play, it’s fun and usually a good time. I know my theatre friends from college are my lifelong friends so that’s what I hope for the students to gain. For the community, the shows will make them think about things in a way they hadn’t thought of before. The goal is always to put on a good show and to do a little bit of teaching since we are a college.” This season has not been without it’s issues including the delayed hiring of a full-time theatre faculty member and the impact of COVID-19 on the preparedness of students.

“We’ve been having more trainings for the musical this year,” Harrison Carson said, “This past year the director did a pre-audition workshop which helped the students [feel] more prepared. As soon as we get our new full-time staf on board we’ll try to get some of that going for the performance part*. Over the summer we’ve been working with some of our tech students to get them a little more training so that they can be up to speed on tools and processes.”

The theatre department plans to connect with other MHCC departments such as the Japanese Culture Club to help inform the production

of “A Thousand Cranes,” the Associated Students of Mt. Hood Community College (ASMHCC) to facilitate the proceeds from “Seedfolks” going to the MHCC community garden, and MHCC’s graphic arts program who have designed posters for plays in the past.

If you or someone you know is a budding thespian who is thinking about the best place to become involved in theatre, may we suggest MHCC? In addition to the fact that the MHCC theatre department produces a winter musical every year, the program

is better able to ofer more leading roles to frst and secondyear students than may be open to the same students at four-year colleges.

“Students in their freshman and sophomore years can get meaningful roles on stage,” Harrison Carson said, “Then we have students who as soon as they’re ready, they’ll design, they’ll stage manage, they’ll have high-responsibility roles backstage with the production. We try to do that so they feel like they have ownership in the plays that they’re working on. Not

just a little paint here and there but they’re creating the whole production.”

People who would like to audition for these plays should check out the community education classes online.

People who want to see these plays should visit the online theatre box ofce.

*Since this article was written, the theatre department has hired Zach Hartley to fll the full-time role.

Music Classes at Mt. Hood Community College: Community in Harmony

As the rainy season approaches and beckons us back inside from the outdoors, think about honing your musical talents this fall through one of Mt. Hood Community College’s (MHCC) many community education classes. There are many ways to explore your musical side. In this article, read about three exciting community education classes open to aspiring musicians.

Wind ensemble taught by Danielle Davey

Danielle Davey, a talented musician who has taught for more than 16 years, leads the wind ensemble, which brings together musicians of all ages

and backgrounds. Often referred to as a “concert band,” the wind ensemble welcomes people who have played their instrument throughout high school and can read notated music.

If your skills are a little rusty, Danielle Davey still encourages you to enroll in her class.

“Attendance is important because being in any ensemble is a team efort,” Danielle Davey said, “Even if it has been a while since you have played your instrument, we will fnd a place for you in our band.”

On Dec. 7, the wind ensemble will perform a set of music dedicated to the remembrance of the Pearl Harbor attack.

Symphonic choir taught by Kevin Lambert

Kevin Lambert, conductor of the symphonic choir, has been teaching this class since 2015. Lambert’s class ofers a great opportunity for people seeking to boost their vocal technique, confdence, and emotional expression. Whether you’re new or returning to the joy of choral music, the symphonic choir is a great way to expand your music skills.

“Each singer in the room will take away something diferent, and any singer will take away something diferent each term they sing,” Lambert said, “Honestly, that is one of the

reasons why being in a choir helps you experience something greater than the sum of its parts.”

This fall, the choir is preparing for a series of concerts, including a performance at The Grotto Festival of Lights.

As far as auditioning for the symphonic choir, Lambert does his best to ensure a painless process.

“I try to make auditions as short and sweet as possible,” Lambert said, “We’ll fnd your vocal range and I’ll try to learn how your brain, ears, and voice are all communicating with each other. No prepared song required!”

Instrumental jazz combo and large ensemble jazz ofering taught by Dan Davey

Stepping into Dan Davey’s instrumental jazz combo class is like entering a lively jazz club, flled with the rhythmic energy and improvisational spirit that defne this beloved genre. As an instructor with years of teaching behind him and a passion for jazz, Dan Davey has been

teaching this art form since 2004. In this class, students learn the basics of jazz improvisation within the context of small ensemble performances. From learning the nuances of standard jazz repertoire to developing the tools to arrange tunes, participants are immersed in a learning experience that hones their musicality and fosters their creativity. They also gain insights into rehearsal management, preparing them for the challenge of performing without the direct guidance of an instructor. “Much of the work available to musicians deals with trios, quartets, and quintets,” Dan Davey said, “This class prepares students to navigate these situations successfully.” Students in the instrumental jazz combo class will perform at Spinellas in Gresham, Oregon at the end of the term.

Dan Davey’s large jazz ensemble is open to anyone who has high school-level playing experience or above with their instrument and people who are interested

may need to audition to take the class. Students will learn the style of jazz played during a large ensemble performance. This ensemble follows standard big band instrumentation including saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, piano, bass, and drum set. Students in this class will be able to perform in at least one public concert.

“Even if it has been a while since you have played your instrument, we will fnd a place for you in our band.”

Whether your desire is to reconnect with music or explore new musical horizons, MHCC’s music classes ofer the perfect stage for your journey. Explore the power of music, make friends, and join a group of people that shares your love for the art form.

Faces of Our Strategic Plan: Joy Njenga

Njenga’s inspiring journey as a student at MHCC exemplifes the power of hard work and grit in reaching one’s goals.

As she observed the nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) care for her little brother for two months following his early birth, Joy Njenga had no way of knowing how much this experience would inspire her future goals.

Joy Njenga was born in Kenya and moved to the US at just 6 months old. She lived in Florida

for seven years before relocating to Missouri, where she spent nine years. Finally, in 2020, Njenga and her family settled in Gresham, Oregon. Her journey at Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) began in her senior year of high school when she enrolled in the middle college program, which allowed her to take college courses while completing high school at Reynolds High School.

“I was just so tired of school,” Njenga said, “Then someone told me about middle college and I asked my counselor about it … I didn’t have any friends in

Reynolds because I didn’t know anyone so then I just started dreaming of college.”

Njenga frst wanted to go into engineering, but that career path wasn’t working out. Her plans changed when her mother suggested exploring nursing instead. Njenga wanted to help people while also earning a good income, Njenga dug deeper into the feld and decided to study nursing.

As a student taking her prerequisites for nursing school at MHCC, Njenga is inspired by her instructors and the program itself. One of her favorite classes

Mt. Hood Community College

is anatomy, taught by Dr. Melissa Gonzalez-McNeal, a friendly and caring teacher.

“I like it because my teacher, she’s very nice,” Njenga said, “We dissected a heart, I think it was a [cow’s] and it’s really fun.”

Njenga’s college journey has not been without its challenges. At frst, adjusting to college classes and harder homework was tough and led Njenga to seek help from her teachers. She found solace in talking to her teachers, using online resources, and drawing support from her father, who had attended college in Kenya and Oregon.

“I used to talk to my dad since he was in college and he took my classes so he knew a lot about math,” Njenga said. Beyond her studies, Njenga is engaged in campus life at MHCC. She worked at the student services hub as part of the work-study program, where she assisted students with fnancial aid questions, scheduled meetings, and provided helpful information. Njenga is also in the soccer club and the Associated Student Government (ASG) where she formerly served as the recreation events coordinator and helped plan campus events, such as Barney Bash and blood drives. She has also

helped with the ASG’s advocacy eforts, rallying for increased funding and support for community colleges in Salem, Oregon. She now serves as ASG’s student organization and club coordinator. With graduation coming up in winter 2023 or spring 2024, Njenga has set her sights on transferring to a university to complete her Bachelor of Science in nursing. While nursing programs are hard to get into, Njenga remains focused on securing a spot in a great program in Oregon. Njenga is thinking about becoming a travel nurse or a NICU nurse so that she can care for premature infants the way her little brother was cared for all those years ago.

“My brother used to be in the NICU ... so I [want] to [become a NICU nurse] because I used to see how the nurses took care of him as a baby,” Njenga said. Njenga’s inspiring journey as a student at MHCC exemplifes the power of hard work and grit in reaching one’s goals. Despite facing many challenges along the way and juggling many diferent priorities, Njenga has kept going and emerged as a devoted student, involved in campus life, and driven to make an impact in the feld of nursing.

Mt. Hood Community College Unveils

Planned Equity Center

Mt. Hood Community College’s (MHCC) student basic needs team recently announced plans for a new equity center, designed to meet the needs of students who are looking for a place to relax, study, meet, eat, and access resources. The equity center will be built in the former bookstore.

The equity center is tentatively set to open by the end of 2023, barring any delays due to supply chain issues.

The project is a result of several key occurrences, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which left many students in a state of food and housing insecurity and revealed a need for more student resources

According to the MHCC student basic needs team, the equity center will provide a range of resources and support to students. It will be a multifaceted space, featuring the food pantry, housing support, and other resources such as laptops and hotspots. The center will ofer a “living room” feel,

making it a comfortable place for students to hang out, study, and socialize.

The location of the equity center has been carefully chosen to ensure it is easily accessible to students. It is centrally-located directly under the student hub, making it easy for students to fnd and access the resources they need. The new space is also designed to reduce barriers and stigma for students seeking assistance for food and housing. “The equity center expands on the existing student spaces, welcoming children and families,

while also providing a place to eat and build community,”

Associate Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Traci Simmons said, “We also want this center to be a centralized location where all of the resources available to students are within reach.”

To ensure the equity center is designed with students in mind, MHCC created a student basic needs team with members from various departments. The team is focused on creating a space that is both human-centered and equity-centered, considering the feedback and suggestions from students.

“It’s really hard to strive for success when you don’t know where you’re going to sleep at night and it’s also really hard to focus when you are hungry or

when you don’t have access to the information you need,” MHCC student Rheyna Tehrar said, ”So I think that it’s really great that the college is providing a space where people can fgure out what they need to be safe and also be able to have access to a space where they feel welcome and they can know that whatever they’re needing in that moment is going to be accepted and not considered an inconvenience by anyone.”

The project was awarded $1.2 million from various funding sources including $600,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act, $423,600 in state capital construction funds, and $199,000 from the Mt. Hood Community College Foundation. Several Oregon lawmakers including Rep. Ricki Ruiz, Sen. Chris Gorsek,

former Rep. Anna Williams, and former Rep. Jef Reardon were instrumental in securing the funding for this project. The college has contracted Opsis Architecture for the project and the equity center is tentatively set to open by the end of 2023, barring any delays due to supply chain issues.

The equity center is set to be a welcome addition to the MHCC campus, providing a warm, inviting space for students to study, relax, and access resources. With a focus on meeting the needs of the student community, the equity center is a testament to MHCC’s commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive campus environment.
