Скачать или смотреть Betty Schedeen Recalls Beginnings of MHCC

Betty Moore Schedeen, known as the "Mother of Mt. Hood Community College," recalls chairing the committee to secure a community college for Gresham, Oregon in the 1960s - when women in such leadership positions were rare. With odds stacked against them, Schedeen and her committee mobilized the community, local politicians, and business leaders to get the college built and give Gresham residents access to flexible, high-quality higher education.
This excerpt is from an episode of "I Remember When...," in which historian Gwenda McCall interviews community members to reveal the untold stories of Gresham's past. The episode aired in September 1988 on Multnomah Cable Access.
