The History of Cochise College
Cochise College was one of
the first community colleges
in Arizona, opening its
doors in 1964. Cochise
County citizens voted to
create a community college
district in 1961, and in 1962
a bond election passed to
fund the construction of the
Douglas Campus.
Cochise College is comprised of two campuses
(Douglas and Sierra Vista)
and three centers (Benson,
Nogales and Willcox) - all
located in this land rich in
history, cultural diversity and
natural beauty.
Cochise College's mission is
"to provide accessible educational opportunities that are
responsive to a diverse population and lead to constructive
citizenship, meaningful careers, and lifelong learning."
Our goal is to help you reach
your educational goals. We
aim to be a recognized leader
in providing high-quality
learning opportunities and to
anticipate and exceed the
educational and workforce
training needs of the communities we serve.
With this as our vision, we:
•
Place learning first
•
Create an environment
and experiences that encourage students to be active
members of the learning
community
•
Make learning possible
inside and outside the classroom with a myriad of activities and experiences
•
Extend learning to students and all members of the
college community so that a
feeling of collegiality
abounds
• Empower students, faculty and staff to create a personally meaningful learning
environment
Our institutional values include quality, integrity, and
diversity.

“It is not so much
that learners
acquire structures
or models to
understand the
world, but they
participate in
frameworks that
that have structure.
Learning involves
participation in a
community of
practice.” (Mark K.
Smith, The
Social/Situational
Orientation to
Learning)
Becky Orozco’s Student
Aid, Amanda Rubio, gets
the sandwich boards ready
for a Brown Bag Lunch
Presentation.
Rebecca Orozco is Director
of Cochise College’s Center
SW Studies. She has
worked with college students over much of her
career. Becky has a degree
in History and is native to
this area.
She teaches history classes,
so look for her courses in
the Spring catalog!
Becky Orozco’s BROWN BAG LUNCH Series
The Brown Bag Lunch
Series offers students, faculty and staff at CC the opportunity to learn about local
and world history and cultural events. The information is interesting, fun, and
each presentation counts as a
cultural event for AvanZando!
Here is the Fall schedule for

Ramon Garcia visited Cochise College on September 12th to discuss Voting, Elections, and to answer many
student questions. During his visit he
registered 17 students to vote in the
November Mid-Term Elections, gave
out 30 voter registration forms on student request, and gave out close to 50
mail-in requests for absentee ballots.
On September 26th, Christine Rhodes, Cochise County Recorder, did a
follow-up visit to Ramon’s. Her in formation was invaluable! She registered
10 more students to vote. An interesting fact that Christine brought to light is
that the United States Justice Department is monitoring Cochise County voting because we do not have enough Hispanic voters
registered in the county. Please help in getting our communities involved in choice making!
Join the U of A Tour!!!
On October 13th, AvanZando and
the SGA will sponsor a field trip to
Tucson to tour the UofA. Ms. Elsa
Reyes from the UofA in Tucson has
Tucson Meet Yourself is a festival that
celebrates the diverse cultural traditions,
and can be considered a tradition unto
itself - a hands-on lab for students to
experience academic knowledge combined with culture. James "Big Jim"
Griffith, the renowned UA folklorist,
started TMY 32 years ago. It is the only
comprehensive folklife festival in Arizona
to date.
Scattered
throughout the
celebration are
cultural
performances,
arranged a private tour just for CC
students. We will meet with UofA
counselors, financial aid representatives, and have a 1 1/2 hour walking
tour of the campus. This opportunity
will let students have a better idea of
what choices are available at the
UofA. It is important to begin to
look at where and how to transfer to
4 year post-secondary colleges and
universities now so that you’ll have a
smooth transition later!
Be sure to talk with Cochise Col-
food booths, and native goods, offering an amazing array of authentically
prepared food from cultures across
North and South America, Europe,
Africa
and Asia.
"A
folklife
festival is
a lot
more
than a
simple
celebration of
lege Counselors with any questions,
concerns or ideas about where you
might like to continue your education!!
The articulation committees over
the years have worked very hard to
make certain that YOUR degree from
CC is fully transferable to Arizona colleges and universities. We also have an
agreement with Western New Mexico
University in Silver City, NM, so that
you can transfer your studies/degrees
and take off where you left off here!
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!

it is instead an
effort to place the

Maribel Alvarez,
English Professor
& folklorist at the Southwest Center at
The University of Arizona. TMY is
similar to the folklife festival hosted by

Amber N. Ybarra
Page 4
Amber N. Ybarra is an exceptional Cochise College Student
who is involved in almost every student aspect of the Douglas
Campus! She never fails to provide help to staff, faculty and
other students. Amber has belonged to the AvanZando program
for 2 years and is an asset to the program.
Upon completion of her General Studies degree at Cochise
College, Amber plans to transfer a 4 year post-secondary university to pursue a baccalaureate degree in secondary education.
Amber’s mother, Ana Ybarra was interviewed by Rhonda Lane.
According to Ana, Amber was born and raised in Scottsdale, AZ,
where her mother still lives. She is the youngest child of three
older brothers.
Her decision to move to Douglas, AZ, came through her desire to get out of the city and experience other lifestyles than that
she was raised in. Her grandfather was living alone in Douglas,
and Amber grabbed the opportunity to accomplish many things:
She wanted to help her grandfather and get to know him better,
she wanted to live in a heavily Spanish speaking area so that she
could perfect her Spanish and be close to her heritage, and she
wanted to begin her studies at Cochise College gaining the advantage that this exceptional community college offers all students.
Being a person who looks for opportunities through maximizing options, Amber chose to participate in the AvanZando Program - We are thankful that she did!!
THANK YOU AMBER!!!
Avan Zando’s FIRST STUDENTS OF THE MONTH!
Mercedez Jasmin Zertuche is active in many programs and
clubs at school, available to help other students, assists staff and
faculty, and participates in every event that she is asked to help
with.
Jasmin enrolled at Cochise College because she saw the opportunity to excel, expand her academic knowledge, and to experience
the cultural growth and awareness that CC Offers, according to
her mother who was interviewed by Daniel O’Meara. Jasmin realized a better world through education was available right here at
CC and she jumped at the chance to begin her adult career/life
right at home. Born and raised in Mexico, she graduated from
Douglas High School, and works in the One-Stop because she
realizes the value of help to new students just starting college.
When Jasmin started school in the US she knew very little English.
She is now fluent in English. For that reason, Jasmin plans to
transfer to Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, a college that was
chosen as one of the "New Ivies" by The 2007 Kaplan/Newsweek
'How to Get Into College Guide'. Jasmin plans to pursue BA and possible MA degrees in Translation. This is not an easy subject of study,
because professional translators are required to have top skills in
writing, reading and speaking every language that they work with.
AvanZando is proud to include Jasmin in their exceptional program - She is one of the reason that this program is becoming a
national exemplary program among TRiO SSS Program!!
THANK YOU JASMIN!!

The history of human technology begins with the discovery of how to give stone a
sharp edge to making a wheel
from stone. In 1801, JosephMarie Jacquard invents a loom
which uses punched cards to
control the pattern of the fabric. This loom - created over
200 years ago - is the predecessor of the punch-card com-

Bernie McGrenahan’s Happy Hour Comedy With a Twist
IT’S FREE - MARK YOUR CALENDARS! ! !
“I want students
to know the truth
about alcohol. It
is a cunning and
powerful drug.
We must respect
Happy Hour Comedy with a
Twist is thirty minutes of stand up
comedy followed by thirty minutes
of an impact message on alcohol
abuse with comedian Bernie
McGrenahan. He tackles the
number one substance abuse
crisis on campuses today.
Whether we call it "high
risk", excessive, or "binge"
drinking”, the problem is
claiming the lives of students
across America. McGrenahan motivates and inspires
students to "be responsible".
His stand up comedy warms
the crowd. His powerful
message to follow includes
the alcohol and drug related suicide of
his nineteen-year-old brother, and
Bernie's six-month incarceration from
three DUI convictions.
Alcohol-free for thirteen years,
Bernie applauds the 'social norm' or
majority of students who do make
smart choices regarding alcohol.
“Beware of the Binge” addresses all
situations a student will experience in
college, including peer pressure, drink
specials, games and the deadly '21
shots birthday celebration '. Having
lived the crisis himself,
McGrenahan is well studied on the
trends and facts surrounding college
drinking. November 7th at 5:00 p.m.

Are UFOs REAL? World Famous Stanton Friedman Can Prove they ARE!!!
Stanton T. Friedman is a
Nuclear Physicist and Astronomer who has been instrumental in the quest to
understand UFOs. He has
been actively involved in
what is considered one of the
most important investigations on the UFO phenomenon ever assembled on film.
Stanton’s investigations
document solid physical
evidence of UFO landings,
photos and videotaped evidence of UFOs from around
the world. It also reveals the
shocking story of the government’s “Cosmic Watergate” - a massive effort to
keep UFO information from
the public.
Stanton T. Friedman
shares details of a massive
investigation that utilized
the U.S. Court System in conjunction with the “Freedom of
Information Act” to gain access to government and military documents, which by law
should already be available to
the public.
Mr. Friedman interviewed
some of the first people who
were willing to share their encounters with UFOs and aliens
- even after the government
requested that reports not be
made public. He investigated
“The challenge for us all, as we enter the
new millennium, is to recognize that while
our future is in space, we are not alone. I
truly hope we qualify for admission to the
Cosmic Kindergarten.”
~ Stanton Friedman
the amazing story of Betty and
Barney Hill, the first abduction
case that received international
attention. His investigations,
and the journey of scientific
discovery, has led Stanton on a
lifelong path to understanding

the store that appeals to the
general student population.
If anyone would like to see
other items available, just talk
with Lisa and she will try to get
them in the store for you!
Bookstore personnel work
hard year round to make sure
that student needs are met.
Be sure to stop in and meet
the employees there! They are
here to help students with
many needs - you only have to
ask!!
