The Seattle Chapter of the American Red Cross honored Continuing Education’s Project Management
certificate program last week for volunteer work totaling more than 5,000 hours so far. The Red Cross has been the beneficiary for the past 1½ years of
team projects by students in the program’s final class. The students have completed a wide
variety of projects during that time, with one -- a field operations guide -- being adopted for use by the Red Cross nationally. The Seattle Chapter’s Board of Trustees presented
a commemorative plaque to Margaret Murphy, director of BCC’s Continuing Education Business and Professional Programs, and Jorja
Gunderson, program
coordinator. Launched in 2001, the program has graduated about 250 students to date. |
