Everett Community College 75 Year Anniversary
| September 2016 12
For sisters Katie Gwyn and Lauren Frauenholtz, EvCC provided a way to attend college while still in high school. Gwyn attends the University of Washington. Frauenholtz, who graduated in June from Everett High School, is at Western Washington University. Both earned college credits at EvCC. The girls point to their mom, Julie, as their role model. Her attendance at EvCC eventually led to obtaining a bachelor's degree in human services and her current position as coordinator of the City of Everett Community Streets Initiative. “EvCC offers a great opportunity for a wonderful education and meaningful career right here in Everett,” Julie Frauenholtz said. “The college is also a bond we share that helped us increase our opportunities for success.” Gwyn agreed: “EvCC's College in the High School program is a great option and gave me an edge when starting my college classes. Everyone should take advantage of this!”

I chose EvCC. HOWARD BEHAR
Former president of Starbucks Coffee Company North America and Starbucks Coffee International
“I didn't have the grades to go to the University of Washington, so I attended EvCC, along with several of my friends. At that time, it was more an extension of high school. I think I needed the community college; it matured me by exposing me to things I would have never been exposed to. At some level, I was directionless; at other levels, I wasn't. For example, I grew up in a really entrepreneurial family. I had direction to that and that's why I did well in accounting and business; anything that had to do with that. Anything that didn't, I didn't.”
LARRY HANSON
Former president and publisher of The Herald. He met his wife, EJC nursing student Raili Kuivikko, during a photo shoot for the EJC annual. Raili became a nurse and worked at Everett General Hospital for 40 years.
“I was impressed with the quality of instruction I received in all of my classes. Faculty had high expectations but what was really helpful is that they wanted to work closely with their students – that was obvious – to help us succeed. “I soon realized that I was getting an excellent education that would serve me well as I transferred to the University of Washington for my junior and senior years Not only was the quality of the education important, I was learning some valuable leadership skills as the editor-inchief of the school annual. Those skills helped me advance more quickly at The Herald. I gained more responsibility and more income at a career that became my passion.”
