Columbia College - Whidbey Island issued the following announcement.
Letter from the Editor
Here we are, pulling out sweaters and watching the leaves change colors. These bits of normalcy are a welcome sight in a season of uncertainty. But as we count down the weeks left in 2020, I’m proud to look back at all that has been accomplished in a year like no other. At Columbia College, we’ve watched our faculty reimagine the classroom to fit the current needs of our students. We’ve interviewed alumni who continue to lift up their communities and navigate this “new normal” with patience and understanding. It’s our pleasure to bring these stories to life with Affinity acting as a time capsule.
Our cover story takes you inside High-Flex, the college’s latest educational innovation that empowers students to choose their best way to learn. We also caught up with several CC professors who have left a lasting impression on our alumni, and we’ll introduce you to Joan Puchta Pata ’63, who shares her CC experience and talks about her brush with Congress. As with every issue, you will find out what’s happening Inside the Gate and celebrate classmates’ accomplishments in Class Notes.
