Char was absolutely amazing, collaborative and phenomenal. I am going to miss her! I would love to hear if there are any memorials planned or how to support the family.

Warmest regards,

I would like to acknowledge the people whose land we are gathered on today. Present day Des Moines is located on the traditional village sites of the Muckleshoot, Duwamish, Puyallup  and many other tribes who made their homes on these lands and along these waters.

Let us also acknowledge the robust Indigenous communities made up of tribal diversity that originate from around the country, and whose journeys have brought them here and to other locations by ways of forced displacement or seeking opportunities.

Today the same communities celebrate their heritage, showing resilience and tenacity that would be greatly admired by their ancestors.

Inspired by Se-ah-dom Edmo and Dr. Christine Dupres, Portland

Oh gosh. What a loss. She had such passion for her students and her program that inspired all of us to work harder at developing each of our BAS programs.

Thanks – Mike

Dear Colleagues



It is with deep sadness that I share that Char Gore, TCC’s Executive Director of Strategic Initiatives passed away this weekend after a 3-year battle with pancreatic cancer.



Char served on the BLC executive for several years and was instrumental in the recent changes to the General Education requirements for BAS degrees.



She was a strong advocate for students and worked tirelessly to make BAS degrees more accessible.



Those of us who had the honor and pleasure of working with Char know that she brought her energy, positivity and leadership to everything she did.



Please keep Char’s family in your thoughts.
