Scholarships are the
things that dreams
are made of for
Western Oregon
University students.
Benjamin Diaz was born and
raised in Michoacan, Mexico.
When he came to the United
States at age 13, he knew
that he faced many challenges
because he didn’t speak
English. Benjamin’s parents
gave four of their seven
children the opportunity to
continue their education. He
was the only one who did not
drop out of school.
“Even though it was really
hard to learn English and keep
up with my other six classes
at the same time, I put a big
effort, because I had set myself
a goal. That goal was to one
day receive my high school
diploma,” Benjamin wrote in
his scholarship application.
“For the past two years, I’ve been working
very hard, at one point working two jobs.
The scholarship will help me to continue my
education without having to work full time.”
Benjamin Diaz, freshman planning to study
computer science
Making a contribution in support of
scholarships says to students: I support what
you’re doing; I want to help you realize your
dream of a college degree; and I want it to be
easier for you financially.
Your contributions in support of scholarships
absolutely make a difference. They are
the things of dreams for Western Oregon
University students.
After high school Benjamin’s
plans were to further his
education, but because of his
parents’ financial situation,
he felt his only option was
to find a job and help them
pay the bills. After two years
of working, Benjamin is now
pursuing a new goal – a college
degree.

Editor’s Note
Dear Alumni and Friends,
2
Editor’s Note
I usually write this note close to the time WOU Magazine goes to press; in fact, it’s most
often the last thing that gets written. But this time, it is really near our publication deadline
as I write this.
The reason is that I have started, stalled, and then stopped writing at least four times. It’s
just mighty difficult to write what I have to say--because I have to say goodbye.
A long time ago—in 1991 to be exact—I said
goodbye to friends and family in Seattle and headed to
Oregon for my new job at WOU. I didn’t know a soul;
which is probably why as I look at the new students
who arrive on campus each fall, I can imagine how
they are feeling--alone and a little bewildered.
I certainly felt that way when I parked my car for
my first day at WOU and walked to my office in The
Cottage. Just like the students must feel, I felt new and
out of place. And there were the questions: What are
the expectations? Can I live up to them? Will I fit in?
I missed my friends and family, too, just as students
must miss theirs.
Now, all these years later, The Cottage is as familiar
to me as my own home, and the other “residents” who
share it with me have become my second family. We
congratulate each other on our successes, stay late and work weekends to help with each
other’s events, and do a lot of proofreading, envelope stuffing and cleaning-up for each
other.
We also pass around cold and flu germs, get irritated when someone leaves dirty dishes
in the sink, and complain when it’s too hot or too cold in the office.
These are the friends—the family—I’ll miss when I leave WOU at the end of December.
These and the other incredible group of people I’ve met because of WOU: faculty, staff and
students; alumni; parents; volunteer board members; and members of the community.
And, though you and I may never have met, I’ll miss you as well. I’ll miss writing
magazine articles for you, writing notes to thank you for your support, and planning
special events to recognize you.
I’ll close now with that simple word that I’m having such a hard time saying, and that’s,
goodbye.

Say it. Believe it. Experience it.
WOU is on the Move! In the middle of
the busy city, with traffic whizzing by, just a
few words on a billboard tempt students
to be on the move with Western Oregon
University. This and other recruitment efforts
are proving successful as record numbers
of students are choosing WOU. Read about
this year’s enrollment profile on page three.
On Campus
WOU is on the move as student numbers continue to grow
S
ay it, believe it, and then
experience it. Western Oregon
University is on the move. Students
are literally filling classrooms
and residence halls on the WOU
campus this fall with a record 5,050
students enrolled. They hail from
as far away as Ghana and as nearby
as Monmouth. Here is a profile of
Western Oregon’s student body:
• 40% are male and 60% are female,
though men are gaining some
ground with a 42% count in the
freshman class.
• 13% are from minority groups,
the largest group being Latino.
• Minorities comprise 20% of the
entering freshman class.
• Students are from all counties in
Oregon, with the largest group
from the mid-Willamette Valley
and the next largest group from
the Portland metro area.
• Out-of-state students come
primarily from Washington,
Alaska and Hawaii, but from as
far away as Minnesota, Ohio,
New York and Connecticut.
• 91% are undergraduate and 9%
graduate students.
• 52% of undergraduates are the
first in their family to attend
college.
Western Oregon has outshone the
Oregon University System average
for applications (WOU up 13%, OUS
up 5.5%) and admitted students
(WOU up 14.3%, OUS up 1.7%).
Western’s international-student
population continues to grow. The
university welcomed 80 new students
from China, England, Germany,
Ghana, Japan, Norway, Saudi Arabia
and Taiwan. This brings the total
number of international students on
campus to 252.
WOU offers online criminal justice degree
W
Magazine • November 2007
It’s possible for students to earn their
degree in two years.
Western joins Southern Oregon
University and Portland State
University in offering an online
degree program in criminal justicerelated education.
Gingerich and others have been
considering online offerings for the
past five years. The need stems from
a push for professional status in law
enforcement, criminal justice and
emergency services. “When I entered
law enforcement in the 1960s, it was
unusual for an individual to have
a college degree,” he said. “When I
retired with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff ’s Department (in 1996) it
wasn’t unusual for employees to have
master’s degrees.”
“The first step for many toward
promotion is a college degree,”
Gingerich said. “It also expands their
understanding of the world around
them, and more agencies are now
looking at degrees as hiring criteria.”
The program should be particularly helpful to students already a
part of the law enforcement work
force, Gingerich said, noting his
own experience. It took him eight
years to earn a bachelor’s degree
and another five for a master’s while
working as an officer. “On a number
of occasions, I had to be at the scene
of a traffic accident or an arrest and
couldn’t leave work until my class
had already started,” he said. “Or I
would sign up for a class and miss
a week of school because of a long
court case. I had to drop out several
times, and that’s not uncommon for
many police officers.”

On Campus
hile WOU currently makes
classes in many divisions
available online, this is the first
program in which students can
complete a bachelor of science
or arts degree through distance
learning. The online initiative should
especially benefit already-working law
enforcement professionals looking
to enhance their careers, said Terry
Gingerich, associate professor and
department head of criminal justice.
“Those in law enforcement and
public service agencies, after they
enter the work force, find it’s hard
for them to get back to college,”
Gingerich said. “And the demand
for education in the criminal justice
system has increased, so there’s a
great need for this.”
Beyond general education
requirements, the program entails 72
credits of core and elective courses.

WOU’s Health and Physical
Education Division has received a
$68,000 contract from the Oregon
Department of Education as part of
the Healthy Kids Learn Better (HKLB)
statewide program. WOU will be
partnering with the HKLB team to
develop, coordinate, implement and
evaluate a national demonstration
program for establishing a coordinated school health approach to
addressing the needs of students
with asthma. The HKLB partnership
is an effort to help local schools and
communities form partnerships and
reduce physical, social and emotional barriers to learning. It begins
with a local Healthy Kids Learn Better Team and reaches youth through
eight components of coordinated
school health.
Over the next year, health education specialists will help facilitate
statewide professional development
and joint technical assistance and
resources for selected demonstration schools in coordination with
the Oregon Asthma Program. As
part of the project, Linda Stonecipher, Health and Physical Education division chair, will oversee the
formal evaluation of the Asthma
Friendly Schools initiative funded
by the Centers for Disease Control
and being conducted by the Pacific
Research Group.
The Asthma Friendly School
grant is one of several local projects
that faculty members in the Division
of Health and Physical Education
are pursuing as part of their commitment to promoting healthy
communities. “Because nearly nine
percent of children in the United
States have asthma, it is important
that schools in Oregon are able to
implement best practices to meet
the needs of this growing population of students,” Stonecipher said.
College of Education has accreditation review
T
he National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
and the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC)
conducted a thorough review of WOU College of Education programs Oct.
13-17. They examined more than 450 online exhibits
as well as hundreds of hard-copy exhibits. They
also conducted more than 385 interviews of
students, teacher candidates,
faculty and staff, as well
as many of the college’s
school partners.
Both review teams
gave the college very
favorable preliminary
ratings. Formal
accreditation action
will take place in the
months to come.
Speech communication major undergoes
name change
I
n fall 2007, the speech communication program became communication
studies.
The change came, in part, because many students didn’t understand
what the speech communication major was, thinking it involved giving
countless speeches or even studying speech pathology, say communication
faculty. Changing the major to communication studies broadens the scope
of the major to appeal to a larger cross-section of students. “The new name
accurately reflects the content of the major; that it is not just about speeches,”
Molly Mayhead, professor of communication studies, explained.
In addition to a new name, communication studies will incorporate
additional classes this year, including communication and event planning,
communication and social change, and crisis management. “These new
classes, in conjunction with the name change and our usual course offerings,
make us one of the top programs in the Northwest,” Mayhead said.

ilda Rosselli, dean of the College of Education, left immediately following
NCATE’s WOU visit to attend the organization’s General Assembly
on October 19. The annual assembly provides an opportunity for NCATE’s
four policy boards to meet for professional development and discussion of
new programs and policies. Rosselli was invited to speak on the benefits of
NCATE’s expectation for assessment of candidate impact on student learning
and its measurement through the teacher work sample methodology.
Nursing program to begin in 2008
I
n response to the critical shortage
of registered nurses, Western
Oregon University and Oregon
Health Sciences University have
entered into a partnership to bring a
bachelor of science degree in nursing
program to the WOU campus.
Plans call for the joint WOU/OHSU
program to admit its first students in
the fall of 2008.
Lower-division general education
classes, as well as science courses for
campus is undergoing extensive
renovation. This will provide additional
faculty, classroom and laboratory
facilities. The first floor will house the
Mathematics Department and the
second floor the nursing program.
A patient care simulation
laboratory will be a major part of
the nursing complex. The “Sim Lab”
will introduce students to life-like
clinical situations early in their
education, prior to their placement
the nursing curriculum, will be taught
by Western Oregon faculty. The
university’s strengths in the sciences,
particularly in biology and chemistry,
will be essential components of a
quality nursing program. OHSU
will offer the upper-division nursing
curriculum on the WOU campus.
In preparation for the new nursing
program, the building formerly
occupied by the Department of Police
Standards and Practices Training
(DPSST) on the Western Oregon
in regional hospitals and rural clinics
for practicum experiences. In the lab,
students will demonstrate their ability
to provide patient care in predictable
as well as emergency situations before
they have contact with real patients
in the community. Simulations will
be videotaped for review and critique
using “smart classroom” technology.
Plans call for graduating about
30 nurses each year, and more as the
program grows.
Johns Hopkins, Columbia,
Vanderbilt, UCLA—and Western
Oregon University. Western Oregon
joins these prestigious institutions
and 27 others as participants in the
Carnegie Corporation’s Learning
Network. By invitation, institutions
join this group because of their
national reputation for excellence in
teacher-education programs.
The Learning Network,
supported by Carnegie, the
Annenberg Foundation and the
Ford Foundation, focuses on
sharing ideas and innovations that
are on the cutting-edge of teacher
preparation. The vision is that these
will become principles that will be
used to improve teacher education
throughout the United States.
Western Oregon’s groundbreaking work in connecting
teaching and learning has helped
to place it among this elite group.
According to the College of
Education’s conceptual framework,
this connection first must be
successful between WOU faculty
and student teachers. Then, as
these candidates themselves begin
to teach, it is measured in how well
their students learn.
Throughout the year, members
of the Learning Network share
information primarily through
electronic mediums. Once a
year, they meet in person at a
conference sponsored by the
Carnegie, Annenberg and Ford
Foundations. This year, Liberal
Arts and Sciences Dean Stephen
Scheck, Special Education
Division Chair Linda Keller, and
Undergraduate Teacher Program
Coordinator Mary Reynolds
represented Western Oregon at
the annual conference in Denver,
October 29-31.

ast spring a group of four WOU
students and Model United
Nations (MUN) club advisor, Mary
Pettenger, assistant professor of
political science, traveled to the
Netherlands for a global academic
conference. They attended the fourday United Nations simulation in
Utrecht, toured the International
Court of Criminal Justice and the
Dutch Parliament in Den Haag
(the Hague), and each of the
students visited additional tourist
and historic sights, including tulip
gardens, functioning windmills, the
Anne Frank Museum, and the Van
Gogh Museum.
“It was an incredible experience
to be able to attend a Model United
Nations conference so very far from
our home in the Pacific Northwest,
and to meet other students from
across the world who really cared
about the same issues we did,” senior
Laura Maddox said. “Working
together and getting to know these
students was amazing on its own,
but also to see the history and
richness of the country as well, made
for an unbelievable trip that I was so
privileged to be a part of.”
MUN conferences are a
simulation of what occurs
in the United Nations (UN).
Students research an assigned
country’s history, policy,
and goals on predetermined
topics that the actual UN bodies
and committees debate and draft
resolutions on every year. The
club attends several conferences
a year; these are typically hosted
by universities or nonprofit
organizations and focus on the
academic growth of the participants.
MUN is launching a scholarship
this year which will be offered to
new club members and has been
funded by club members and outside
donations. It is weighted heavily
on academic accomplishments.
Donations in support of the
MUN scholarship may be

later, that same excitement is

affectionately as “Arby.”
Arbuthnot Hall, named after
Katherine Arbuthnot, a popular
social science teacher from 19131947, was built in 1962 due to
the demand for more women’s
housing. Arby was known for its
yearly community Easter egg hunts,
candle-lighting ceremonies, and
water fights with the men of Maaske
Hall. It was used as a dormitory until
the early 70s and eventually became
part of the Oregon Police Academy.
But when the Academy left WOU’s
campus, Arbuthnot fell silent.
For the past few years, the
Office of University Residences
had received feedback from
upperclassmen stating that
they would like to have more
opportunities for single rooms.
Previously, the upper-class residence
halls, including Gentle, Butler and
Arbor Park, only offered living space
with three or four roommates. So,
according to Tina Fuchs, dean of
students and judicial affairs, two
open houses were held to show
Arbuthnot Hall rooms as is: no cable
television, no telephone and only a
wireless internet connection. The
rooms in Arbuthnot were “virtually
unchanged” Fuchs said. Even so, she
said there was a “big response for the
retro rooms.”
In the fall of 2007, 73 students
moved into Arbuthnot and into
their own rooms. Even though the
rooms hadn’t changed much, one

These forensic experts have learned their trade through
a challenging educational program in the physical
sciences, field experiences, and often internships with law
enforcement agencies like the FBI and State Police.
Chris Martinez and Kevin Dorris, students in
applications of forensic science, examine human hair
samples.
At Western Oregon University, several educational options are
offered in the forensic sciences including chemistry major with a
forensic chemistry option, forensic science minor for chemistry
majors, and forensic science minor for non-chemistry majors.
It’s common for those who are in majors such as law enforcement
and psychology to minor in forensic science.
In instructor Tom Barnes’ applications of forensic science class,
junior psychology major and forensics minor, Chris Martinez, says
she wants to be a criminal profiler. “It’s understanding criminal
minds, observing behavior and making judgments,” she explained.
Senior law enforcement major, Kevin Dorris, worked with detectives
in the Beaverton Police Department over the summer helping to
investigate suicides and car accidents, collect evidence and take
fingerprints. He is minoring in forensic science. “Knowing more
about this will help me in my work,” he said, as he examined a human

Barnes concurs with Dorris. “The smarter
our customers are when they bring in the
samples, the better,” he said, referring to the
agencies that use the Oregon State Police
Metro Forensics Laboratory, where he is
the director. “They also understand the
limitations of what can be done.”
Barnes travels to Monmouth from
Portland once a week to teach. “I like to
teach, but it also gives me a feel for future
employees.” About six Western Oregon
students do internships in the metro forensics
lab each year.
Western Oregon’s programs in the natural
sciences have a reputation for being tough.
They also are recognized for turning out
exceptionally well-prepared graduates who
score high on national exams and go on
to careers in medicine, nursing and other
professions requiring expertise in chemistry
and biology, like forensic science.
“It’s a tough program—hard,” Arlene
Courtney, professor of chemistry, said. “We

general chemistry classes.”
If chemistry majors wanting to study forensic sciencee
make it through the introductory chemistry classes and
prerequisite calculus-level math classes, there are advanced
chemistry and microbiology classes to tackle, as well as
classes like communication in the legal field and cell biology.
Finally, majors and minors come together in forensic
science classes, like applications of forensic science, principles
of forensic investigation, and criminal procedure. In these
classes they practice skills such as analysis of glass fractures
and fragments, blood stains, fingerprints, body hair, and
bullet trajectories.
“It’s understanding criminal minds, observing
behavior and making judgments.”
Chris Martinez, junior psychology major/forensic science minor
Some students in Barnes’ class, like Kevin Dorris, will be
on the scene of accidents and crimes analyzing clues; others,
like chemistry/forensics major, Heather Powells, will do their
work each day in the laboratory. Courtney says that when
she talks to students interested in the chemistry/forensics
program, she wants them to be realistic about it. “I remind
them that when they get their degree, they’re a chemist,” she
said. “It’s not as exciting and glitzy as they might be expecting.
It’s the same kind of science day after day.”
Courtney also tells students that they are trying to break
into a very competitive field. At the same time, she points
to the advantages of being in the Western Oregon program.
“We’re known to OSP (Oregon State Police), who helped
design the program. We do lab practice with OSP in their
labs. This doesn’t hurt our students when they go to apply for
jobs.”

challenged to stay one stop ahead in our effort to increase resources to

primary area of focus for our foundation board and staff. Because of that, as
of October 1, the foundation has been able to make available nearly $600,000
for student scholarships, a $200,000 increase
over last year. In addition to that, other
activities such as faculty/student collaborative
research, alternative-break service projects and
intercollegiate athletics have been supported.
I want to take this opportunity to thank
you on behalf of the students, faculty and staff
who benefit from this support. Please know
that gifts of all sizes help to make this support
possible; none is too small, or, needless to say,
too large.
A special word of thanks, too, to
my fellow foundation board members,
Foundation chair, Ron DeVolder
who give up Saturdays each quarter to
attend board meetings. In between these
meetings, members also keep busy with foundation activities. They serve
on committees, such as Finance and Gift Planning, Corporation and
Foundation, and Annual Giving, requiring weekday meetings. They open
doors and accompany advancement staff on calls to potential donors.
They lead major fund-raising activities, helping to set goals, writing grants,
attending board meetings of foundation ancillary groups, such as the Friends
of Jensen Museum and Smith Fine Arts Series Board. Most importantly,
they do this because they believe in Western Oregon University and its
educational and community service
missions.
I hope that as you turn the
following pages, you will not only
find your name, but will recognize
the names of others who have joined
you in giving to Western Oregon
University. You are members of a
caring and supportive community
of alumni, parents, business leaders,
friends, faculty and staff, and we thank
you for that.
Sincerely,
’68 Ronald D. DeVolder

Dear Alumni,

Alumnotes
What began as a stormy fall day ended with the sun making an occasional appearance.
Homecoming 2007 was an exciting and memorable day as we celebrated our heritage with
“Paint the Town Red.”We had alumni come from as far away as Alaska and Idaho and as
nearby as Monmouth.
No matter where you came from,
we hope that Homecoming 2007 was
just that, the feeling that as Wolves, you
spent the day “at home” reconnecting
with other alumni. If you were there at
the red and white brunch, tailgating,
football game, or 5th Quarter, we hope
we were able to meet you and hear
your stories of the place you remember
as OCE, WOSC or WOU. Your presence
helped make Homecoming a success!
If you couldn’t make it to Homecoming this year, we missed you, and we
would like to know what would bring
you back to campus. Would you like to
see a student or faculty performance,
meet with former professors, see how things have changed in the residence halls or have
a reunion with a special group that you associated with? Let us know what you would like
to see in 2008 - fill out the Homecoming survey at www.wou.edu/alumni. If you
were here this year to Paint the Town Red, let us know what you thought! This is your Alumni
Association, and we love having your input!

member of the Moles
Not ones for fancy identification
(we call ourselves The Moles),
but friends of long duration
we carry on.
A loose-knit organization
without a firm agenda,
we often create a celebration
by just being together.
The roots of our association
were planted rather firmly
and grew with stimulation
through the years.
The place of origination
on a college campus
sparked a continuation
which has long endured.
Who would have thought
at our time of graduation
that these many years later
we would have maintained our relation?
Some members have departed
leaving feelings of devastation
but also, it should be noted,
fond memories and admiration.
Those of use who remain,
without any reservation,
revere past memories of them
as part of our consolation.
And so it is,
with feelings of jubilation,
that we look forward each year
to our congregation
where tales of yore
assume a magnification
and family trees
undergo further examination.
Such a long relationship
prompts the reasoned observation
that these Moles have not
been living in hibernation.

Honorary degrees to be awarded to WWII
detained Japanese students
“What a long and strange road it’s been!”
During the Second World War, individuals of Japanese descent were
ordered to internment camps in the United States. For many who
were in institutions of higher education, this marked the end of their
education. On May 31, 2007, Governor Kulongoski signed House
Bill 2823, which allows state institutions of higher education to
award honorary post-secondary degrees to individuals ordered to
internment camps during the Second World War. Western Oregon
University is actively trying to locate any Japanese-American students
sent to these internment camps in 1942, therefore making them unable to continue their studies at WOU (then known as Oregon College
of Education.) The bill also states that families can request degrees on
behalf of deceased relatives.
We are asking for your assistance in finding classmates or acquaintances who this may have affected. If you know of any individual
who falls under the guidelines of HB2823, please contact the Alumni
Office, [email protected] or 503-838-8153.

Polk County’s Adopt-A-Road
Program
Before the Western Oregon University women’s basketball team goes to work on cleaning
up their opponents, they go to work on cleaning up a stretch of road in Polk County.
Head coach Greg Bruce and his Wolves squad
are now involved with the county’s Adopt-ARoad Program. Traditionally one of Polk County’s
most successful road cleanliness programs, the
Wolves have joined forces with other volunteers
to pick up litter and collect it in bags for easy
disposal. Adopt-A-Road volunteers donate two
mornings a year. The Wolves first cleanup stint
was Saturday, Oct. 6, working on Riddell Road
just north of the WOU campus.
“The Adopt-A-Road Program is an ongoing
opportunity for our team to get involved in the
surrounding community,” Bruce said. “We really
appreciate the support that has been given to
WOU women’s basketball, and this is one way
that we can say thank you.”
On the court, the Wolves began practice on
Oct. 15 and opened the season with an exhibition game at the University of Oregon on Nov. 1.
