More Staff Changes in DL Office!!
Lisa and "Z" have already moved on to other pursuits, but fear not, there are still staff in the office to respond to your questions and provide services! Please welcome Jim and Nora! Wait, Nora is not new!! What's up?!
For those who've been taking classes or working at Fort Steilacoom, you'll recognize Nora as one of our own! She has been a student at Pierce for a couple years and worked in the office for the past year. Now she graduated this past Spring and we've managed to wrestled her into submission! She is continuing her studies with WSU via DL and working for us part time on an hourly basis! Yeah! I'm afraid, however, she'll be snatched up for one of the many full time campus openings!
Jim is presently a work-study student, studying in the Alcohol and Chemical Dependency program. For all you students having questions about your online courses, Jim is your man!! He has been taking online courses for the past year. You may recognize his voice on the phone...he worked in radio around the Puget Sound for 15 years! He is also been known to kick a soccer ball on occasion!
Come by or call to put them both through their paces this Fall!

New Faces in the DL Office!!
Don't tell them I've done this, just wander by and tell them, "Gee, you look familiar! Are you New to DL?" Then Welcome them heartily!!
Ambrozya (or "Zya" or "Z") Dae is in her first year
at Pierce and is studying in the Human Services program. Lisa Purkey is
just completing her first year and has the benefit of having taken a number
of online courses! In her other "job", she is an E5 in the National
Guard, working in Human Resources. For those few of you who may not know
the classifications, we respond to her with a snappy salute, "Yes,
Sergeant Purkey!"
They've both been here a few weeks and are learning the ropes quickly. Call in or bring your DL questions when on campus and put them to the test!

Welcome to Mary Davis, Distance Learning Program Support Supervisor I!!
Mary's knowledge of district processes, her work with faculty and division staff, plus her current familiarity with DL offerings, made her a natural choice. We are really looking forward to her great ideas and work fostering the DL program”s continuous improvement.
Stop buy and see her at Fort Steilacoom's Cascade 343. She starts officially on Monday, June 5th!
Also, give a great big "Thanks" to Mollie, Christine, Diana, Earl and the student staff who have learned or created new procedures this last few months. They have kept the DL ball rolling during our transition. We expect them all to be with us for some time to come!
I want to add my appreciation for the college community. Everyone has been very kind and supportive, making our daily challenges much easier to bear! Special thanks goes to the screening committee members who supported a whirlwind process; Valarie Nelson, Patty Nelson, Rick Hogan, Julie Anderson, Earl Sallade and HR's Patty Petersen!
