Founding CCC faculty member Chuck Scott passed away Aug. 7, 2016, after a yearlong struggle with Multiple System Atrophy.
Chuck began his career at Clackamas Community College in 1969, initially teaching biology for five years. As the college quickly expanded, so did his leadership and mentorship of new faculty. When Chuck retired nearly 30 years later, he had served as an instructor, department chair, division leader and associate dean. His division included science, math, engineering nursing and computer science, and of the 54 instructors working in his division, 49 were hired by him.
Chuck oversaw construction of the science department's Pauling Center and invited Dr. Linus Pauling, a two-time Nobel Prize winner, to its dedication.
Ever the college champion and leader, Chuck served on the CCC Board of Education representing the Canby and Molalla area in 2006 and 2007.
In retirement, you could still see Chuck supporting his wife, Elizabeth Howley (retired Horticulture faculty) at the horticulture annual plant sale and in the community through the Oregon City Rotary.
