Its aim was to “offer an open door to every citizen regardless of his academic background or experience.” From its inception as a “college without walls,” Whatcom Community College was committed to removing barriers in the path of students. Everett Sanders, the College’s first coordinator, said “…we can serve people, not buildings.” Our promise to students was to “never say no.” We offered independent study, “open classrooms” and credit for prior learning. We called our curriculum “Alternative Learning Experiences” (ALE), and we earned recognition as radical innovators. We improvised outposts all over Whatcom County that brought us close to students. Without a campus, we took pride in our purpose. We succeeded as a college with a spirit we called “The President Kathi Hiyane-Brown Whatcom Way.” “I would love to go back in time 50 years ago to meet the visionary leaders who built this institution.” Stan Brunner, Trustee, Ron Leatherbarrow, vice president for instruction, 2008-2015 1969-1976 “What I want to say to the community and especially students “Between the liquor store and who think they’re not academic quality and the parents who think the gas company and the 20 Keri Parriera, started as administrative staff at Lynden that their child is not qualified academically, I want to say to them: Doug McKeever, hired fall 1971 wheelbarrow loads of bat crap Instructional Center in 1984 and retired as president’s You can get there from here.

The tunnel network has been part of campus infrastructure since the 1960s and has grown with the campus. Now, workers can walk from Old Main to nearly Buchanan Towers without breaking the surface, says John Kingsford-Smith, a safety of- ficer with Western’s Environmental Health and Safety Office (pictured here). Some passages are as deep as 25 feet below ground, he adds. While workers are in the tunnel every day, security is tight to discourage would-be tunnel tourists, with motion-detection, multiple locks and regular foot patrols.
