Updates from Olympic College

by Communication Coordinator

The 2018-2019 school year was full of change for Olympic College. The school year brought new leadership, new buildings on campus, new programs, and more. With our mission in mind and our students in our hearts, we persevered through the changes and came out hungry for more.

As a fresh employee, I joined the Classified Staff Development Committee (CSDC) to meet new people and give what I had to support the incredible staff at our college. As an Alumnus of the school, I thought I knew how hard these teams worked; I quickly discovered that I did not even know the half of it.

With the school year ending, it was time to celebrate the people who worked tirelessly through the changes. The CSDC hosts an annual event called The Classified Connection, which brings all classified staff together for a day of connecting, learning, and growing. I had the honor of serving on the committee through the planning process and was able to witness the small seeds of ideas flourish into fruition the day of the Connection.

We invited all of Olympic College’s classified and part-time staff to the Connection to join us at the Kitsap Golf and Country Club on June 21. We started with breakfast and icebreakers, heard from our speakers, ate a delicious lunch, and celebrated our staff. We had incredible speakers, including a few of our Administrative staff and motivational humorist Sharon Lacey. The speakers provided us with knowledge on topics like Financial Health, Leading from all Directions and How to be an Outlook-Ninja.
