Spring 2025 Community Education

Welcome from President Marshall Spring is an exciting time here at Oregon Coast Community College.

We have many wonderful classes that will be taking place at all our locations. We are also preparing for our annual commencement ceremony, which will take place at the end of this term.

While we prepare to transition our graduates, we are excited to see them prosper. One of our goals at OCCC is to help graduates stay and work in the Lincoln County community, if doing so can fit in their life and career goals.

While some will transfer on to four-year institutions, OCCC will be here waiting to serve once they return to Lincoln County. We look forward to seeing old friends again through our continuing education programs – like those you’ll find inside this publication – and our many workforce training opportunities.

With the passage of our recent bond, our faculty and staff are working hard to identify new programming that will be delivered in our new career and dr. marshall mease roache technical education building. Watch for news about our groundbreaking, which we hope to see take place before the start of the Fall 2025 term.

As ever, OCCC strives to create a welcoming environment for everyone. We remain steadfast. At OCCC we equip student for success by providing educational pathways and supports in response to the diverse needs of our community. Through accessible and engaging programs and a commitment to equitable outcomes, we enrich the economic and civic vitality of Lincoln County and beyond.

Go Sharks!

It’s just in time for Mother’s Day!

Clutter Clearing CERT:

Community Emergency Response Team The CERT program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them on basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, which allows them to focus on more complex tasks.

CERT strives to instill a “lifestyle of preparedness” in its volunteers, building and enhancing the capabilities to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. This Spring, OCCC is proud to partner with two different CERT teams – in South as well as North Lincoln County. The North program will run over the course of eight Thursday evenings in Lincoln City, while the South County program is consolidated into one packed long weekend, plus a follow-up drill event.

What is inside us, reflects externally. Or is it the other way around? In any case, if you are living in chaos, it doesn’t feel good and reflects in your life. We use several techniques to help you clear away external blocks to help you release those internal blocks which prevent you from living your life, your way. Using guided meditations as well as practical lists of sorting, purging, and releasing to guide you to clear unwanted, unneeded energy and stuff from your home to create the life you desire. This class is not your typical “get rid of things you don’t need and then you end up with the same mess all over again” class. This program is designed to help you get to the core of how to have the “things” you want to keep and how to release things that don’t serve you any longer. Join us for a clutter-clearing class unlike you have ever heard of. A little energy clearing work, a little (or a lot!) physical homework, and a new feeling of space at the end of our time together.

Irish Steps Class

This class will focus on solo steps that are the precursor to the modern, competitive style popularized by “Riverdance.” This class will be more challenging than the social dancing class, mostly because the steps are intricate, and require the ability to get your feet to do what your brain tells them to do. It’s not extremely physically challenging, as these steps are danced by people well into their 80’s in Ireland, but some low-level hopping about will definitely be involved, so balance and a little stamina will be needed. We will focus on both sean-nós steps (mostly spontaneous and in response to music) and old style set dances (choreographed). A sense of rhythm and at least some background in dance will be very helpful.

Any kind of flat, well-fitting shoe like an Oxford is fine.

Irish Dancing for Adults

If you love music and dance, this is for you. Folks in Ireland are cradle-to-grave dancers, and there’s something for everyone! This class will focus on the social (ceili, pronounced “kay-lee”) dances, and is for adults who love dance and music, but might not have the knees, ankles, and stamina of a 14-year-old. You do need to have enough strength and balance to handle some skipping around and a little sweating. A sense of rhythm and some background in dance, gymnastics, ice skating, etc. (anything where you had to string some movements together) will be helpful, but not necessary.

What’s your EQ?

Emotional Intelligence As we journey through life, we discover that every day brings with it the ups and downs of challenges, unknowns, “why did this or that happen,” and “if I only knew better, I might have changed my response or interacted a bit differently in a situation.” We can all relate. Stewart Brannen has been teaching emotional intelligence courses at universities and colleges throughout the United States and Canada for more than 15 years. In this term’s EQ class, Brannen will guide participants through a deeper dive of enriching self-awareness which leads to the outward path of relationship management. The group will discover how, and where, energy flows in and out of our heads and hearts, and learn how to positively elevate their own personal vibration through emotional intelligence applications in our daily lives.

Everyone starts with a dream and a general idea of what it takes, and after a few years of working in my business, I knew it was time to focus on it.
