HEY BOBCATS!
It's amazing to think that Thomas Jefferson was only 33 when he authored the Declaration
of Independence. Sure, he had input from John Adams and other committee members, but
the essence of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness..." took shape from his
young perspective. Inspiring
stuff. Have a happy, safe Fourth of July. Scroll on, 'cats!

INFO SECURITY TIP
Wesley Dymond, COCC's Information Security administrator, shares this reminder. "Every
year," he says, "scammers post job advertisements soliciting college students for
various fraudulent employment opportunities. Often presented as 'secret shopper' type
jobs, the 'business' offers to mail a check to the student, who is then instructed
to deposit the check, then purchase and ship items. Later, the check bounces and the
student is left holding the bag." Report questionable emails (fraudulent, phishing
or scams) to
abuse@cocc.edu.
STUDENT CONCERNS
Students are encouraged to resolve the issue with the appropriate faculty or staff
member. For academic concerns, this should begin with the instructor. If the student
is not comfortable discussing directly with the instructor, the student may initiate
the concern with the appropriate department chair. If the instructor is the current
department chair, the student may initiate the concern with the appropriate instructional
dean. For non-academic concerns, the student should bring the issue to the director
of Student Life for assistance in identifying the appropriate contact. For assistance
in identifying the appropriate faculty or staff member, contact the Office of Student
Life, 541-383-7590.
LACTATION ROOMS
COCC provides two locations for students and employees to have access to a private
space for lactation purposes. Private, secure spaces are available in the Barber Library,
Room 226, and in Grandview Hall, 2nd floor bathroom/shower. See
lactation room hours and key information.
