ILLUMINATING THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS Maximize your education by utilizing resources and communities

W

elcome, new and returning students! Whether it’s your first year or an additional year in college, you’re probably anticipating a major life adjustment starting this Fall Term. Mt. Hood Community College is advertising a “Promise of a brighter future,” and we at the Advocate believe that can happen – but only with your engagement.

Over the past few years there has been a slight decline in classroom enrollment at MHCC, dropping 14.8 percent from the 2013-14 school year to the 2017-18 school year.

Meanwhile, the share of students taking online courses has increased, from 11.8 percent of total credit hours taken to 15.9 percent, during that time. With MHCC also being a commuter campus, it has been difficult to better engage students in on-campus activities.

This is not to say the college has failed in attempts to do just that.

The efforts of this year’s Associated Student Government (ASG) leaders, AVID, and the project to implement a Student Services HUB for new students on campus (part of the NSE, or New Student Experience, project) are notable this month.

Even if you aren’t necessarily plugged into on-campus activities, the act of attending college is a great opportunity. We encourage all Mt. Hood students to maximize the benefits of their time here by being involved in student life activities.

As Advocate staff members, we have found that being involved with an on-campus entity helped us feel

like we have a place at MHCC: We have a stronger sense of community.

And this prompted us to share our experiences and resources with other students.

As students we understand college is a lot to handle, on its own.

Add personal matters, a job, and housing to that, and you are likely to experience stress. To help you cope with this new level of challenges, we’ve listed some of the many resources on campus.

Being involved can help you see that in light of the challenges that lie ahead in your secondary education, connecting with fellow students and staff can be of great aid to you. Building a community around yourself helps you realize you’re not alone.

You are here for a reason. This also is an investment in your future. To truly be successful, you may need to ask for help and seek answers, and those answers are likely provided by resources on campus.

Meantime, if something comes up, or you feel like you need to do something else in your life, you have the choice to pursue that. Realize that you aren’t required to follow the standard time-line set forth by the social norm of going to college for ‘X’ number of years for a degree.

Take the time that you need to make a good decision about your future.

EMPLOYEES ARE PEOPLE, TOO Experiences of a fed-up customer service worker

Mariah Getch the advocate

Anyone who has ever worked in retail or the food industry has eventually shared the same bitter whispers with their coworkers over their lunches: “People suck.”

I’ve worked at five different establishments – both food and retail – and at every single job I’ve had to deal with individuals whose entitlement is so prominent you can practically smell it when you see their pointed stares and obnoxious huffs.

Customers have yelled at me for not cashing out a return that, due to the condition of the item and store policy, I could not accept. Of course I was the one that was “ridiculous” and a “dumb-ass,” not the customer who was told the policy upon purchasing the item. Of course that’s something that basically anyone who works in retail will eventually experience.

But retail was child’s play, in comparison to food. For some reason some people lose their

absolute mind when they enter any form of food establishment.

Just last week at the frozen yogurt place where I currently work, a woman told me how “absolutely ridiculous” it was that the hot fudge wasn’t hot. Of course it didn’t matter that I had just replaced the fudge because it was empty; it was my fault that it didn’t heat up the instant it touched the pot. Huffing and puffing, angrily sneering about hot fudge, she stormed out with her dessert.

It absolutely baffles me how entitled people like her can be.

Instead of realizing that it would have been physically impossible for the topping to be hot by the time she reached it, she decided that, naturally, it was the nearest employee’s fault.

My worst encounter happened while I was working at a pizza place in Clackamas. I was on the ninth hour of my shift, hadn’t gotten a break yet, and we were understaffed through a rush that ended up lasting four hours.

During this rush I was bringing out food to the tables while my manager was cooking the pizzas.

A woman and her boyfriend came up to the register, incredibly upset that his pizza had been burned. Of course I completely understood that’s not okay and I was explaining that we’d remake the pizza immediately.

The girlfriend didn’t care about anything except for the fact that her boyfriend’s food had been burned and she proceeded to scream and curse at me while – here’s the funny

part – demanding to speak to my manager.

It didn’t matter that I had only brought it out the pizza to them: Since she was a customer, she decided that she had the right to cuss out a stranger and insult her family in front of a full restaurant, just because she could.

From annoyed mutters to insults of my mother, I’ve been subjected to my share of surreally intense hatred coming from complete strangers.

They think that just because you work at the place they happen to be in, they get to treat you like a piece of old gum that had the audacity to appear on the bottom of their brand-new shoes.

AARON READER: AN OAKLAND SUCCESS STORY

“

WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR STORY, YOUR ‘WHAT’, AND WHO YOU ARE, IT WILL EMPOWER YOU.”

Photo by Fletcher Wold / The Advocate

Aaron Reader shared his life story at Student Orientation Day and encouraged others to learn and share their own story. He performed poetry about navigating the college system, white privilege, and a different perspective on homelessness.

Cassie Wilson the advocate

Motivational speaker Aaron Reader has dreams of being an actor, and satisfies his love of storytelling by sharing his own life story and encouraging others to do the same.

Reader gave a keynote presentation on Tuesday, Sept. 18, in the College Theatre on MHCC’s Student Orientation Day. First-year Mt. Hood President Dr. Lisa Skari introduced herself to students, and let it be known that they weren’t the only ones new to PA G E 6

campus. Having known Reader a few years, she invited him to travel from Renton Technical College near Seattle, where he’s the Dean of Students, to share his personal story, as well as some poems.

The key points Reader touched on were: “Defining your ‘what’ ”; “Figuring out your path to success”; “Knowing who you are”; and “Knowing your ‘why’ ”.

Sharing his story Reader is a first-generation college graduate. He was raised in Oakland, California, where he was told he was “nothing but a quarter” – meaning he wouldn’t make it past

age 25. He grew up surrounded by alcoholism and domestic violence, he said.

Halfway through his senior year in high school, his family moved to Washington, where things started to change for him. He graduated high school, and decided to go to Highline Community College, where he met Skari, just because it felt like the right thing to do at that point.

Reader was on autopilot and self-advising, he told his Mt. Hood audience. Being a first-generation college student meant that he didn’t have anyone to show him the

ropes of how the education system worked.

He then performed a poem he wrote in response to his experience with financial aid: The piece touched on the knowledge students must have in order to get financial aid when they need it, and how many underprivileged students don’t have the necessary knowledge or support systems. Navigating the system was critical to Reader’s survival, but the system wasn’t built for people like him, he said.

Rounding out his presentation, Reader performed another poem sharing perspective on homelessness, and one on the metaphorical mask he puts on in order to survive daily life as a black man in America.

He talked about the importance of each individual knowing their own story: “When you know your story, your ‘what’, and who you are, it will empower you,” he said. He noted that learning others’ stories can also help people learn their own.

During his time in college, Reader learned a lot about his own story. In Washington, the community and culture was far different than in the Bay Area: It was less about surviving and more about living. Unlearning hateful ideals that were previously planted in his mind was crucial for his future.

Inspired by young daughter Aaron Reader is a success story: There are folks that he knew in Oakland who didn’t make it past 25, he said. Many are now in jail or have passed away.

Now, Reader is 38. He says his 2-year-old daughter, Kennedi, is the inspiration for his work in social justice.

“A lot of the work I do is around retention, it’s around equity, and so that’s a part of my life, whether I want it to be or not,” he said.

“No matter where I go and what I do, those things will always be in the world around me, so that’s my motivation. But, really, I would say Kennedi, my daughter, she’s my motivation.”

Reader got into public speaking in college, when an instructor let him tag along during several keynote talks. He was a student athlete, so he’d get to speak a bit about that, which got him interested in the idea of doing it himself.

“I think if you’re a holder of information or knowledge, it’s important to share that information and not be a gatekeeper. So over the years, different positions kind of set me up to be in front of students often,” said Reader.

During a quick Q&A session after Reader’s keynote address, he was asked his thoughts on cultural appropriation. He urged everyone to call it out when they see it happening, and encouraged people to read up and be better.

“You can’t change anyone else if you don’t change yourself first,” he said. “Learning happens when we’re uncomfortable.”

Asked about how the college should work to be more inclusive, he listed a few quick suggestions: flyers distributed printed in more than one language; increasing accessibility across the campus; having all-gender restrooms; checking if faculty demographics reflect those of the students they serve, and if curriculum also reflects student experiences.

Passion for performing “Continuous learning” and “growing” were common themes throughout both Reader’s Mt. Hood keynote and the interview.

His advice is, “Never find yourself at this place where you feel like you’ve arrived, but instead you’re always arriving.”

When Reader was younger, he’d never dreamt of ending up where he is now, he said in a separate interview with the Advocate.

Instead, he wanted to be an actor.

He’s a huge fan of action and horror films, and has too many favorites to name just a few. It’s a passion that he didn’t initially follow, but it’s coming back around in his life now, he explained.

“I work in higher education,” Reader explained, “I love it, I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. But I have this dream of being an actor, so you can see how I love movies and poetry and memorizing lines and things like that, and that’s part of performing.”

He’s gotten the chance to be an extra in a few shows coming out this fall, and is eager to share that thrill.

“Something that I’d want new folks, students, young people to really think about, is whatever your passion is, to follow that dream,” he said.

MEET THE NEW FACES OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT President Hansen & VP Roberts welcome all with open doors Cassie Wilson the advocate

A&E BRIEFS

Spend a few minutes with new Associated Student Government (ASG) President Bob Hansen and Vice President Melanie Roberts, and you will surely feel the passion and excitement for their roles in the 2018-19 school year that radiates from their smiles and positive attitudes.

Hansen, 21, has been involved in student government for most of his life, much of it spent in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He also served on Louisiana State University’s freshman leadership council for half a semester. Then, he followed his wife to Oregon, where she planned to attend Portland Community College. While looking into other schools in the area, he discovered Mt. Hood’s Entrepreneurship program. He enrolled with dreams of future financial freedom and the ability to be his own boss someday, and also got accepted into ASG as Director of Campus Affairs.

Early impact When Hansen got involved in student government at a young age, it quickly became a normal part of his student experience. Being able to continue work on projects that he started was a big reason to stay involved, and this became especially important in high school.

“High school is when I got to really start making committees and really having an impact on the high school itself,” he said.

He created a welcoming committee and a new student committee at Bonneville High School to make sure incoming students felt welcome on campus, had a friend from the beginning, and knew who their ASG representatives were.

ASG President Bob Hansen and Vice President Melanie Roberts are bringing positive vibes only to the 2018-19 school year.

The two plan to stay a full term ahead in event planning, and are eager to engage with students and help lift their voices.

In a similar way, his primary goal as ASG president at Mt. Hood is to be a voice for the students, alongside Vice President Melanie Roberts.

“We want to be a student voice.

We want to help people,” Roberts said. “We want them to come in and talk about concerns because we’re able to go to the board of education.”

The ASG open door also includes free bubble wrap. If you

and hear [popping sounds],” said Hansen. “It was spectacular.”

Embracing leadership Hansen’s many years of student government experience put him in position to be a mentor to Roberts, eventually leading to their campaign together.

Roberts was born in Seattle, but raised in Gresham. Growing up, she was quiet and reserved.

WE WANT TO BE A STUDENT VOICE. WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE. WE WANT THEM TO COME IN AND TALK ABOUT CONCERNS BECAUSE WE’RE ABLE TO GO TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.”

were on campus during elections, you may have heard popping sounds as Hansen used his marketing skills to find an easy way to connect with students. His wife helped him staple “Vote for Bob” and “Vote for Mel” cards onto a small square of bubble wrap.

“The poor library – I feel bad for everyone who was studying that week because you’d just go in

“I was more like that back in like elementary school and middle school. Back then leadership was kind of like a popularity thing, so I didn’t feel like I could have potential doing it, and I didn’t really want to do it,” she said.

Attending Gresham High School gave Roberts a fresh start. She was no longer with the students she went to middle school with, and she

started to come out of her shell. At the end of sophomore year, she ran for student council but didn’t get in, to the disappointment of some of her classmates who were excited about the idea of her filling a leadership role.

“I did another leadership [class] called “Renaissance,” where it’s more like event planning and school spirit type,” she explained.

Last year at MHCC, Roberts took on the position of Special Events Coordinator for Student Activities, and planned the Connect Effect, Halloween Bingo, and Spring Fest. “One person that helped me get to where I’m at today is Justin Core, the student life adviser (who recently departed Mt. Hood),” she said. He’s really helped to get me where I needed to be because I’d talk with him of the good and the bad.

He was just there every step of the way.”

Now, Roberts is becoming more outgoing as a result of working with Hansen. “I’ve just looked up to him because he’s very ‘out there’ and a very exciting, charismatic and

happy person. I just needed that to help build me, so I’m excited for the year,” she said.

Hansen is eager, too. “Seeing her open up and really express herself and not be scared anymore is really just an amazing thing, and I can’t wait to see how much she grows throughout this next year,” he said.

‘Open door’ for all Roberts, 19, is keeping her options open for her future because her self-growth has opened her eyes to new possibilities for career paths, based off the skills she’s gained from student activities involvement.

While serving as ASG’s leaders, the pair are also busy with daily life activities, just like most community college students.

Hansen travels to campus from Vancouver, Washington, every day, leaving his wife and three dogs behind while also juggling work and studying full-time. Roberts is stepping back from her job to focus on her role as VP and studying fulltime.

When they do get a moment to relax, they both find ways to de-stress. Hansen enjoys spending time at home, or outdoors hiking.

Roberts enjoys swimming, watching “Young & Hungry,” and reminiscing on seeing Charlie Puth in concert this summer.

The ASG leaders plan to be a full term ahead, at all times, in event planning with back-up plans in place for everything to make sure all of their events are a success, they said.

At the same time, Hansen said, “We have an open door. I really want all students to know that they’re welcome to come inside the ASG office with any questions, concerns, or comments.

“Even if they just want to meet us, please just come in and say ‘Hi.’ ”

MT. HOOD MUSIC PROGRAMS Choir Symphonic and Chamber Choirs are one-credit elective classes that share concerts at the end of each term.

At the end of Fall Term, they will be performing at The Grotto in Portland.
