About the Environmental Learning Center

The Environmental Learning Center has a rich history as an educational resource for Clackamas Community College, regional schools, industry and the community. Located on the former site of a Smucker's processing plant, the center was created to demonstrate what people could do to reclaim industrial sites, address stormwater issues and restore wildlife habitats in urban areas. Each year, thousands of people visit to explore the 5-acre site and learn about watershed health. The site serves as an important stormwater facility for the college campus and provides critical wetland habitat for resident and migratory birds, such as the great blue herons, cedar waxwings and mergansers.

OREGON CITY – The Clackamas Community College Alexander Gallery presents “When the World Looks Away,” a solo exhibition by artist Sam Marroquin. This exhibition runs through Jan. 30. An artist reception will be held Wednesday, Jan. 14, noon-1 p.m., and Marroquin will speak about her work at 12:30 p.m.

 

“When the World Looks Away” is a mixed media exhibition combining drawing and painting that calls attention to recent events experienced by the Palestinian people.

Her work has been supported by numerous organizations, including Oregonian Media Group, Artist Trust, EXCEL Foundation and Oregon ArtsWatch.

 

The Alexander Gallery is located in the Niemeyer Center on the Clackamas Community College Oregon City campus, 19600 Molalla Ave., and is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., with the exception of college holidays.

CCC Board Of Education Appoints New Member (Photo) - 12/18/25

OREGON CITY - The Clackamas Community College Board of Education appointed Milwaukie resident Alina Krollenbrock to the board during its Dec. 17 meeting. Krollenbrock will represent Zone 1, Milwaukie, filling the seat previously held by Kathy Hyzy. 

 

Krollenbrock is a postdoctoral research fellow at Providence Cancer Institute. She holds a doctorate in physiology and pharmacology from Oregon Health and Science University and degrees in chemistry from Reed College and Northeastern University. 

 

Her scientific background encompasses a broad set of disciplines, ranging from plant biology to nuclear reactor operation. Her research projects in medicinal chemistry included creating molecular tools for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, testing novel therapeutics for cancer, and discovering a new class of antimalarial drugs. 

 

Krollenbrock is passionate about public education and community service. She volunteered for the Science Club of Girls, providing after-school activities. She also won an award for her teaching as a teaching assistant at Northeastern University and was involved in student leadership at OHSU. 

 

“With skyrocketing tuition costs at four-year colleges and universities, I worry that the education that supports my livelihood is increasingly out of reach for members of my community. CCC forms a vital bridge between community members and their academic goals,” Krollenbrock said. “In a climate of tight budgets and difficult decisions at the state and national level, I want to do my part to advocate on behalf of CCC to maintain access to education for all.” 

 

“We are excited to welcome Dr. Krollenbrock to the CCC Board of Education. Her background in science, education and public service brings a valuable perspective to the board. I look forward to working with her to support student success and community connections,” CCC President Tim Cook said. 

 

Krollenbrock lives with her wife and two children, as well as two dogs and three cats. 

 

She will hold office until June 30, 2027, and will be eligible to run in the May 2027 election.
