Sarah Brown is a student who plans to pursue a master’s in social work in the future, a mom of three boys, the sophomore representative on the Wenatchee Valley College at Omak student senate, and founder of Parker’s Place, a camp for children/parents who are grieving the loss of a sibling/child. Her inspiration for Parker’s Place (www.parkersplace.org) is her son Parker, who passed away less than two years ago at age eight from cancer. Most of the funds to support the camp were raised in the Omak area, Sarah said. “I’m completely amazed how the Okanogan Valley and the college community supported us through Parker’s illness and after through the generous donations for other families who experienced the same thing.” This past June, 12 families participated free of charge in the first annual camp. It was three nights. Her goal is to make it a week-long camp.

He’s tall, personable, and outgoing and is this year’s president of the Associated Students of Wenatchee Valley College at Omak. As president, his goal is to help unite the campus and community. WVC at Omak Student Body President Jacob Timm with community events.” “It’s all about fun,” Jacob said. “I want an engaged, interactive campus that works with the community, with community foundations, Jacob grew up in both Omak and Texas. He worked as a plumber for seven years, but a trip to Europe for a friend’s bachelor party changed his life. College Goal Sunday Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012, 1-4 p.m. Attend this free, hands-on event to complete your FAFSA forms online with the assistance of financial aid staff, college staff and community members before the priority deadline (March 1, 2012). “I came back and said to my boss, ‘I quit, you can fire me, whatever.’ Instead he told me to come back when you’re ready,” he said. Bitten by the travel bug, he went backpacking through Europe and went to Alaska and a few more countries with periods of employment in between. “I was working and making good money, but I didn’t feel like I was really living. I wanted an adventure,” he said. Jacob signed up to work as a civilian contractor for KBR/ Halliburton. He was stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he worked as safehouse foreman for two and a half years. Seeking another adventure, he volunteered to work at forward operation bases (FOBs) in the Afghan mountains for a year and a half. After four years, he felt it was time to make a change. He came back to Omak to reunite with family and pursue a dream to become a nurse. He’s hoping, as a nurse, to provide humanitarian aid in the Pacific and around the globe. Jacob firmly agrees with J. R. R. Tolkien that “not all those who wander are lost.” He follows his heart. Fill out your FAFSA Now! You will need: • 2011 income tax forms, or 2010 tax forms if 2011 forms are not complete, and those of your parents if you are a dependent student • FAFSA pin (get your pin at www.pin.ed.gov) • U.S. Resident Card number (if applicable) • Social Security Number • Other aid information (W2s, TANF, child support, etc.) For more information about financial aid and the FAFSA, please contact Jocelyn Vincent-Ramsey at 422.7808.

Distance Learning Classes 9 NEED FLEXIBILITY? Are you motivated? What it’s like to take a distance course • They’re just as academically rigorous as face-to-face courses – they use the same textbooks, assignments, discussion questions and exams. • Some students enroll in distance courses as a personal preference, but for some it is a practical option. Benefits of distance learning: • Flexibility and time - study from anywhere, any time • Save on travel cost (gas, meals, time, parking, etc.), child care expenses and money from hours you would have given up at work • Work on your own schedule while respecting assignments due dates • Increased learning options • Encourages life-long learning Distance Learning Registration Register for distance learning courses the same as you would for on-campus courses.

Harsh winters made masonry seasonal work. He enjoyed the work, but for the sake of his back and his health, he didn’t want to do it forever. He took a leap of faith and moved to Washington. While in college he purchased land on contract outside of Tonasket, with the goal of building a sustainable homestead. He lived in a small trailer for several years while he built the homestead and recently moved in. Active solar panels provide the electricity to run the lights, computer and small appliances. The house is heated by a wood stove and through a passive solar design – a crystal clear polycarbonate roof on the south side allows for ample solar heat. In the summer a thermal siphon releases hot air out of the structure and pulls cool air in from a shade tree area on the north side. “There’s nothing like sitting down to check e-mail on a sunny day and knowing the electricity to power the computer is clean and free,” Greg said. He graduated in 2010 with associate degrees in both accounting and business. He currently works in the main office as a part-time office assistant. “I feel appreciated for the work I do and supported by co-workers,” said Greg. “That wasn’t a feeling I felt in the construction industry. When I was a student here, this was my home away from home; now it’s like my family.” Attention Alumni: The Wenatchee Valley College at Omak Foundation encourages and supports educational programs offered at WVC at Omak.
