How to find the Wenatchee campus
Wenatchee Valley College in Wenatchee is located at 1300 Fifth
Street. Departing Omak follow Hwy 97 south to Wenatchee. Proceed
toward the downtown area. Stay in the right-hand lane. The road
into town splits into Wenatchee Avenue and Miller Street. Stay to
the right and proceed down Miller Street to Fifth Street (Safeway is
located on the left). Turn right at Fifth Street and proceed west until
you reach the campus.

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.

Jacob Timm’s nickname
is Tiny, though he’s
anything but. 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.

Distance Learning Classes

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

Greg Epps
Before coming to Omak,
former Associated
Students of Wenatchee
Valley College at Omak
President Greg Epps
lived in Wisconsin
and worked as an
entrepreneur in the
masonry business.
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.”
