Nominations sought for Sister Peter Claver Humanitarian Award



The Sister Peter Claver Humanitarian Award is presented each year to an extraordinary person whose faith and good works inspire their colleagues, friends or families, and enrich the lives of others-especially the poor and vulnerable.

From 1964 to 1987, Sister Peter Claver was at the helm of Sacred Heart Medical Center, during a time when the hospital became the largest medical center in the Northwest. Her compassion for those who suffer, whether in body, mind or spirit, truly led her work.

She took particular care to walk the halls of her beloved hospital daily, looking after her staff and the patients and families they served. Past award recipients have made a difference by dedicating themselves to creating safer neighborhoods; providing medical or social services; providing outreach to underserved populations; working daily on behalf of children who live in poverty or are abused; or spiritually enriching or inspiring the lives of others.

The winner will be announced at a special dinner and awards ceremony on October 10 at the Spokane Convention Center. Nominations are due by this Friday, August 10. For more information, contact Jamie Valdez 509-474-6090.

SCC Colville Center's new manufacturing program earns $120,000 state grant

Spokane Community College's Colville Center has partnered with the local manufacturing industry and school district to bring a new program to the area beginning fall 2019.

The Industrial and Manufacturing Technology Program will address local industry's need for skilled workers. The project has been awarded $119,961 from the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) to buy new equipment and develop curriculum.

SCC is partnering with the Colville School District to offer the program as dual credit so students can earn both high school and college credit while gaining the skills needed to enter into local manufacturing. The program was created in collaboration with the Timber Products Manufacturers Association and employers such as Vaagen Brothers Lumber, Boise Cascade, Colmac Coil and Hewes Craft.

Some of the funds from the SBCTC workforce development grant will be used to purchase a hydraulic trainer, which will teach students how to operate, program and troubleshoot hydraulic and pneumatic equipment in manufacturing settings.
