Weekly Update, Nov. 15

LBCC's nursing program received numerous commendations for instruction and student support during its recent accreditation visit by the Oregon Board of Nursing. Program director and chair Sheryl Caddy led the lengthy process, which included a self-study report and a three-day visit from the Nursing Board with tours of clinical sites and classrooms, and interviews with students, staff and administrators.

LBCC’s Re-Choired Element Chamber Choir and the Concert Choir have been selected to compete in the eighth-annual World Choir Games held this coming July in Riga, Latvia. Students will compete in three categories including Mixed Chamber Singers (a cappella), Musica Sacra A cappella, and Musica Contemporanea, with approximately 300 choirs from six continents and more than 60 countries competing.

LBCC has five Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) on campus to help stop an irregular heartbeat in the case of sudden cardiac arrest. AED locations are noted on campus maps as a heart shape, including the online campus map and building directory maps. Although the device should be operated by trained personnel, knowing the locations of these portable devices is important to everyone. Locations: Public Safety Office, first floor Red Cedar Hall; Takena Hall, first floor; Industrial A, second floor hallway; Activities Center hallway; and in the President’s Office, Calapooia Center.
