Favorite Event on Campus: There are so many great ones to choose from, but my absolute favorite has to be the Foundation Meal of the Year! It’s such an incredible evening, we gather as a community for a fantastic four-course dinner, complete with a live auction and plenty of volunteer opportunities. It is such a wonderful way to connect with people who care about COCC while raising scholarship funds that directly support our students!

Favorite Event on Campus: Preview Day! It's such a fun day for high school students to come and check out campus. It's a high energy day and I think it really gives potential students an opportunity to see if COCC is the right fit for them. Also, there is always delicious food.
While not at COCC: You'll find Kayleen exploring Central Oregon with her husband and two kids. She loves playing softball, spending time with friends, and listening to live music.
