Pullman Center in Profile

T

asha A. Vice, PhD, serves as the CCS Pullman Center Manager. Among her many responsibilities is managing the Running Start program at our Center. In that role, she serves students and families and our high school partners across Whitman County. We were excited by what Tasha shared about Running Start, Washington State’s flagship program that allows 11th- and 12th-grade students to take college courses with a tuition waiver at Washington's 34 community and technical colleges. Here’s what we learned: What motivates high school juniors and seniors to enroll in the Running Start Program at the Pullman Center?

High School Juniors and Seniors participating in the Running Start Program are high achieving and welcome a new challenge as well as the opportunity to get ahead in college. This opportunity provides financial savings and an advanced start to the prep work for your future career.

What challenges do newly enrolled students face in Running Start?

It is always refreshing and surprising to find out that one of our top students in college classes is not a rehearsed college student, but instead, is a brand-new running start student. The students really rise to the occasion.

Is there something you wish every Running Start student knew for the transition to college classes and life?

There are a few things that can help Running Start Students succeed. I would

include visiting your Canvas shells and checking class announcements regularly, activating and using your SFCC/Bigfoot email address so you do not miss information, and going to the first day of class and every class thereafter so you do not get removed from the roster (dropped).

News & Updates

Is there something special in how the Running Start program at the CCS Pullman Center serves Whitman County communities?

We have an excellent team at the SFCC Pullman office that will really work hard to help you succeed. Our office staff can assist with adds and drops, our advisor meets regularly to provide scheduling and support, and we have a completion coach to help guide you through your future career plans as well so you can be thinking about your next steps after SFCC. It really is a welcoming community here in Pullman. We also have a very active Pullman Activities Board led by the students and its President, Seth Hibpshman, who is a Running Start student. The students schedule bike rides, hikes, creative workshops, barbeques, movie and game nights, and other club events. We love to see you on campus in your student lounge or computer lab, so come on by!

What is most important to you regarding the students’ experiences and learning?

You never know what skills may be needed later, so be open to the opportunities and possibilities and focus on your growth as a person. Doing so will help you remain open to all the opportunities your college experiences in Running Start can provide. And, know we are so happy to have you here with us at the CCS Pullman Center!

Excitement is growing at the CCS Pullman Center about our accelerating STEM effort.

Currently, faculty and staff are preparing the ground for a summer remodel at the Annex that gives our Center its own science lab for the very first time. The new lab allows us to offer science courses that are resource- and equipment-intensive. We are thrilled to have faculty and students in biology, earth and environmental sciences, and physics teach and learn in a first-rate laboratory environment starting this fall.

Kudos to Patrick Forster, Assistant Dean at the CCS Pullman Center, for his recognition as a Sasquatch Celebrity at Community Colleges of Spokane. Read about his passion for CCS and the Pullman Center at: bit.ly/forster_bigfoot, and chat him up on his daily bike commute on the Bill Chipman Palouse trail.

The exhibits are: • “Beyond Hope: Kienholz and the Inland Northwest,” which showcases the collaborative artistic journey of Edward and Nancy Reddin Kienholz. Although they are known for their politically charged artwork in postwar Los Angeles, the couple spent a significant portion of their lives in Hope, Idaho, and their works show how artists can thrive and push boundaries outside of urban centers.

Everyone can help!

I have been living in the Palouse for the past 5 years, and I have collected a small zoo during that time. I have 2 cats, 3 gerbils, 2 mice, and 1 whites tree frog. I am currently in school working towards becoming a veterinary technician. I have special interests in small exotics, specifically reptiles, and livestock animals. I have worked on my cousin's dairy farms, and have probably spent more time riding draft horses than I have your typical half ton horse. Although I can admit that draft horses are not the most efficient form of travel. I grew up in Ohio as well as Southern Idaho. I love my time spent with the animals. My best friend’s mom, Kelly, would enjoy much of the work I do at the shelter. I lost Kelly this year and I now step into each day thinking of her and thankful I am able to do something she would have loved.

BUSINESS MEMBER OF THE MONTH

• Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse

Airway Hills Golf Center 4811 Airport Road Pullman, WA 99163 509-872-3092 http://www.airwayhills.com

• Dryland Media

What once was a humble farm field has become a thriving Pullman attraction. How did it all begin?

The owner and PGA pro, Trent Goetze, started the business in 2005 as a small practice facility to teach • Girl Scouts Eastern Washington golf lessons. As a natural entrepreneur, his small driving range soon became a fully stocked pro shop with club repair/fitting, a mini golf course and a par 3 golf course. But he didn't stop there. The business started & Northern hosting company outings, birthday parties, employee retreats, etc.

• Mike Lowery, CPA • Pacific Northwest Farmers’ Cooperative, Inc • Pickard Orthodontics • Pullman Greyhound Boosters • Regional Theatre of the Palouse • Roost Coffee & Market • Salmon River Experience of Idaho • WSU Compton Union Building

But, everyone knows this Palouse weather can be a little... unpredictable. The need for a larger INDOOR space eventually led to the creation of their Event Center and the addition of indoor golf simulators. Now they have the year-round ability to host groups of anywhere from 10-300 people for events and can provide a variety of activities for the whole group to enjoy. They also offer winter golf simulator leagues for those looking to keep up their skills through the colder months.

The Food & Shelter Folks Housing Cost Burden Contributes to Homelessness and Hunger Definition of Housing Cost Burden: When you spend over 30% of household income on housing.

• In Whitman County, 36% of households are cost-burdened • In Washington, 25% of households are cost-burdened Get fresh, local produce on a “pay what you can” basis.

People stay in homes with unreasonable cost burdens, or face homelessness, because too few homes are affordable and available. Housing cost burden is one of the main reasons people visit food banks -or go hungry – because “the house eats first.” Rent or mortgage must be paid before other household costs.

Where: Pullman Regional Hospital

Rising housing costs are strongly correlated with increasing levels of homelessness in national studies.

• Rent increases that outpace income; • Income drops (job loss, reduction of work hours); • Unexpected household expenses (helping a loved one pay expenses; car repair, home repair, medical crisis); and • Domestic Violence (DV) situations and failed relationships. When people live in the same home, sometimes conflict results in the necessity of one party moving out.

Community Action Center serves individuals and families faced with eviction or those experiencing homelessness. We offer emergency housing solutions, permanent affordable housing options, and Section 8 housing choice vouchers. We also advocate for more affordable housing in Whitman County.

We all belong here

Families can start enrolling today, NEW students in ALL grade levels, for the 2024-2025 school year!

The public schools in Pullman offer rich academic programs, and tremendous opportunities for children to extend classroom learning though curricular and co-curricular enrichment.

The quality of our schools is the result of the many strong partnerships that exist among parents, students, community agencies and organizations, and the high value the whole community places on quality education for all its children and youth. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your child in Pullman Public Schools.

Have a child who will be 5 years old by August 31, 2024?

It's time to enroll them for kindergarten!
