The tools that I have learned here will last me a life time. This program has changed my life. I have found my inner voice.” "It was a transformative experience. There were many stories and revelations everywhere during the retreat..." “… I experienced, at this retreat, for a first time in my life, a sense of my voice being truly valued and listened to consistently throughout my time here. I now come back to Edmonds with a more developed sense of leadership, an ability to maximize strengths of both my staff and students, and a re- invigorated sense of urgency for courageous conversation.” “As a person of color working in WA college system, this is the first time I've been in an environment where I've felt truly to be myself. The power and magnitude of that is tremendous. Identifying and affirming my dependable strengths has given me confidence to return to GRCC with renewed zeal to be the leader I know I can be. I'm hopeful that others from GRCC will be able to participate in the institute, it could be transformative not only for our institution, but for the system.” “The Social Justice Leadership Institute has been an amazing and powerful experience! I've had the opportunity to discover leadership strengths that I can be applying to the work I do no campus. The location/space the workshops, and discussions took my perspective of what it means to be a social justice leader to another level. I look forward to continue learning and growing with this group and bringing what I learn back to campus and the community. With much appreciation!” “This has been a transformative learning experience. I have not only identified my own Dependable Strengths (a seed of leadership has been planted within me), but I have acquired a new perspective of working at my peers and students. By knowing each other’s' dependable strengths, we create deeper relationships, felt each other up and have more effective, collaborations at work. Setting the stage with like-minded diversity, where I don't have to explain myself and others my journey created the safety I needed to open myself up for receiving and giving. This experience has fed not only my mind but soul. Thank you!" "Thank you for making this opportunity possible for me. This experience was truly transformative. Being immersed in a space created for people of color to engage in critical dialogue about social justice and leadership has been healing. I feel recommitted to being my authentic self- and that is to be a bold, conscious and courageous leader." “Thank you for the opportunity in participating in the first cohort group of the Social Justice Leadership Institute. This program has made me reflect and envision a mission, goal, and plan to develop our diversity initiative.” ‘I cannot articulate how blessed I am to have participated in this retreat. It's truly opened my eyes to embrace and hold my strengths and my visions in social justice and more importantly, my role at Clark College. I am truly excited for this program to develop and flourish me for not just one but Clark College. Thank you for your constant and great support. Thank you for being part of my journey.” “Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to attend The Social Justice Leadership Institute. This has been an amazing opportunity to connect with other underrepresented peer leaders from the community and technical college system. This experience has been transformative for my personal and professional development. Through the three-day retreat, I have developed a clearer sense of direction on my journey to serve students. My hope is that other leaders of color will have this same opportunity in the future.” .

    Recipients of the Centralia College DISTINGUISHED ALUMNUS AWARD Since 1925, Centralia College has maintained a strong tradition of academic excellence and opportunity. Over the years, more than 130,000 students have turned to the college to help them reach their educational or training goals. Since 1978, the college has honored an alumnus each year for his or her achievements. We proudly present the recipients of the Centralia College Distinguished Alumnus Award. 2021 Distinguished Alumni The Watterson Family For the first time in award history, a family has been named the recipient of the annual Distinguished Alumni Award from the Centralia College Foundation. All four Watterson siblings – Ed, Bill, Marilyn, and Jim – attended Centralia College and have gone on to build strong careers and a legacy of service. Clarence and Doris Watterson raised their four children on a dairy farm in the Salzer Valley in Centralia. The children worked on the dairy as kids and paid their way through college. The three boys ended up in construction. Ed Watterson (CC Class of 1955) has been a superintendent at Schwiesow Construction since 1979 and built much of the Centralia College campus. Bill Watterson (CC Class of 1961) was a basketball standout, who went on to earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and start one of the largest construction companies in Alaska, Watterson Construction. Jim Watterson (CC Class of 1973) earned his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Washington and worked all over the west before joining Watterson Construction in 1989. He is now the company president. Marilyn Watterson Weinstein graduated from Centralia College in 1963 and earned a bachelor’s degree in business education from Washington State University.
