Evergreen contrib to who I am 
today

Evergreen contrib to my 
community

Other things you 
want to share/ 
explain?

Evergreen provided me with critical 
thinking and research skills, and 
practical experience working in 
teams.

Provides opportunities for 
education and citizen 
involvement.

Some creative and interesting 
people have come out of Evergreen 
and I tend to hire Greeners in my 
work, but I'm glad I did my 
undergraduate major elsewhere, 
because I gained far more useful job 
skills than at Evergreen.

Evergreen seems insular 
and dysfunctional, e.g., I'm 
amazed at how bad the 
Cooper Point Journal has 
gotten, and the Rec Center 
has had chronically weak 
management. The MES 
and MPA programs don't 
reach out in ways that 
similar programs in other 
capital cities do.

Some of your 
questions seem 
odd. I hope this is 
worth your while.

provided needed employment skills; 
critical thinking skills; collaboration; 
communication; writing and more

educates on important 
analyses related to race, 
gender, class, orientation; 
trains in significant 
professions of arts, 
teaching, public 
admininistration and 
environmental science

I understand my purpose working 
as a manager in public 
administration

Informs, influences & 
educates the local 
community through 
collaborative intellectual 
inquiry




Very little; the program was too 
global and not local oriented to 
local state level. Should focus more 
on leadership issues.

It doesn't.

Should I include 
curriculum 
development.

My education kept me moving 
forward. Having an MPA on my 
resume has given me confidence to 
apply for jobs that I might not have 
without one. It has impressed 
prospective employers.

TESC raised my social 
awareness. I believe it 
likely I will volunteer in the 
community as work and 
personal commitments 
allow due to my time at 
Evergreen. This is how I 
see the college 
contributing to the 
community. Unfortunately 
there are so many negative 
reports about Evergreen 
students in the media that 
my positive contribution 
sometimes feels of little 
consequence.

I applied for a 
position at the 
college but did not 
even get called for 
an interview. I 
interpreted this as 
a negative 
statement about 
the degree 
program and the 
administration's 
view of the 
graduates the 
college produces. 
(By all means-pay 
us money to 
attend here and 
obtain a degree 
but don't even 
think about 
applying to work 
here!)

TESC helped me ask better 
questions and look for answers in a 
variety of places.

TESC is an important public 
service to the community. 
It connects students, 
educators, art, business, 
government and the 
community.

I feel more creative and aware of 
my abilities because of Evergreen

NA

Evergreen has given me the real 
ability to look at all sides of an 
issue, feel more confident, and have 
more real life, positive diversity 
experiences.

I think it broadens 
acceptance and creates a 
community of learning.




Inspired and prepared me to pursue 
a Ph.D.

Convinced me to work in the public 
sector and for service organizations 
for life.

I value my liberal arts education and 
I am happy and proud to tell people 
who have a negative perception of 
the school that I received two 
degrees from TESC. Education 
unlocks many opportunities, and I 
have been grateful for the 
opportunities that I had to attend a 
high-quality, local and affordable 
school.

I am still in touch with 
many of my colleagues 
from TESC. All of them are 
highly-productive 
members of the 
community and TESC has 
influenced each of us in 
unique and valuable ways.

Provided a great background in 
administration problems -- public 
and private

Good discussions of 
implications of social 
justice.




I am grateful to Evergreen for 
providing me the opportunity in 
obtaining a degree. I agree with the 
methods in which the school used 
in my educational experience. I 
don't think I would have made it 
through college through 
conventional means. I went into 
Evergreen with a career in mind and 
obtained my goal...beware what 
you wish for, lol. Seriously, thank 
you Evergreen.

I'm not sure. I haven't 
really participated in 
Evergreen activities in 
several years. I'm sure 
Evergreen and its faculty 
and students are very 
active in our community.

Nothing really...as 
I said before I am 
very grateful for 
attending 
Evergreen. I put 
what I learned in 
the Master of 
Public 
Administration 
program to use 
everyday. Could 
have warn me 
about the 
bureaucracy a 
little more and 
how to deal with it 
:@) Working for 
the state 
government was 
my wish and I got 
it. It is a lot harder 
to carry out the 
ideals I learned at 
Evergreen than I 
thought, but I'm 
surviving.

Made me able to collaborate with 
anyone and any group through 
work or volunteer opportunities

The students that come 
out of Evergreen have 
created some incredible 
small businesses and have 
stayed to serve rather than 
leaving Olympia.




Both wholly, and not at all. It 
changed my perspectives and gave 
me tools to examine all parts of life. 
As far as employment, it provided 
some semblance of opportunity in 
Olympia, but after 8+ years of living 
Olympia I had to get out. I moved to 
Portland where I have very few 
connections to employers.

I have many, many friends 
living in Portland who are 
also graduates of 
Evergreen. Of the thirty-
plus Evergreen grads living 
in Portland that I know, 
only a handful make a 
living wage. Almost all of 
the greener grads I know 
are aged 25-35. This has 
little to do with the 
education we received - as 
many of the people in this 
peer group are hard 
working, intelligent and 
able to think critically. It 
seems to be a sign of the 
times, and also the fact 
that Portland is a boutique 
destination for well-
educated young people in 
general. Also there's not 
much money, per capita in 
Portland.

The one thing I 
would add, is that I 
would suggest to 
whomever is 
tabulating this 
data, that they 
pursue an alumni 
outreach event or 
program aimed at 
the Portland area. 
Portland is a place 
where many 
Evergreen grads go 
and to form strong 
bonds between 
alumni would be 
highly valuable for 
me and many 
others I know.




I earned a Master's degree, which 
impressed past and current 
employers enough for them to hire 
me.

It has nothing to do with 
the community in which I 
reside currently. As far as 
my political community, it 
has helped shape the 
dialogue on race and 
ethnicity, power and 
leadership, and education 
and learning.

I am currently 
working in a field 
that has nothing at 
all to do with my 
field of study, 
either for my 
Bachelors' 
degrees, earned at 
University of 
Washington, or for 
my Master's 
degree, earned at 
Evergreen. I feel as 
though I'm 
drowning, 
financially, since 
my expenses 
(including hefty 
student loan 
payments) 
outweigh my 
earnings. I feel 
trapped in my 
current job 
because I am not 
actually qualified 

Terrific MPA Program

Work as a 
consultant and the 
company I 
subcontract with 
laid off their 
fulltime employees 
in 2012

Provided critical, analytical, and 
strategic thinking skills.

By providing diversity of 
people and opinions.

no




I wouldn't be qualified for my job 
without and MPA. Evergreen also 
provided many opportunities for 
professional networking within 
state government.

Living in Olympia, I think 
that Evergreen has a very 
positive influence 
throughout the 
community. Olympians 
are either directly or 
indirectly impacted by the 
diverse learning 
communities Evergreen 
cultivates.

Evergreen was a forum for me to 
gain real-life applied skills in adult 
education. Evergreen provided the 
love of learning and tools to stay 
curious, engaged and give back.

Student interns, volunteers 
and MiT student teachers 
serve at my daughter's 
school. Local Knowledge 
academic program has 50+ 
students in Shelton 
schools. Student research 
through community based 
research, MPA and MES 
has informed economic 
and policy decisions in our 
local government. College 
students are role models 
for youth in my community 
representing Evergreen 
and positive futures. Work 
study students support 
Sound Learning 
community organization. 
Public Service Centers like 
the Center for Community 
Based Learning and Action 
are essential to make sure 
the college is contributing 
to community.

MPA non profit 
focus was a very 
important 
resource for my 
work life and for 
my classmates. I 
would like to see 
more support for 
the non profit 
sector through 
MPA and 
undergraduate 
programs.

My MPA internship assisted me in 
gaining this job before I had 
completed the program.

I do not see effects now 
that I am not on campus.




It has given me the skills necessary 
to be successful in my profession.

By providing a quality 
education to students who 
work to make a difference 
in their communities.

My MPA degree offered insights 
into the development of effective 
public policy. As a newspaper 
publisher, this is a key element in 
my understanding of my 
community.

N/A

Would not have met job 
qualifications without my map

offers continuing 
education courses. adds to 
the young, vibrant, 
educated community...

The most important thing I learned 
at Evergreen was the value of my 
own thoughts and opinions. I was 
listened too, my opinions were 
sought out, and what I had to say 
seemed important for the first time. 
I now understand that I am the 
author of my own life story.

Evergreen opens the minds 
of its graduates, who in 
turn go out into the world 
opening the minds of their 
families, colleagues and 
the greater world. 
Evergreen teaches the kind 
of critical thinking.

I was the first in 
my family to 
receive a 
Bachelors and 
then a Masters. 
Although I have no 
children, I know 
that because the 
children in my 
family see what 
education has 
allowed me to 
accomplish, they 
can now see it as 
an option for 
themselves.

Allowed me to advance my career 
in the public sector

offers an alternative 
college environment for 
students who benefit from 
an alternative learning 
model

No




It broadened my thinking about 
being more responsible for more 
than just my family and extended 
family.

It inspires cultural activities 
and diversity. Also, the 
students and faculty have 
broadened the minds of 
otherwise narrow minded 
individuals.

In my personal 
situation, I was 
able to leverage 
my MPA from 
TESC to get into 
board rooms of 
many major east 
coast corporations 
where degrees 
from TESC are held 
in high regard.

As a mature adult, working and 
attending school, never having been 
successful in college right after high 
school, TESC was a perfect learning 
environment; especially the 
interdisciplinary approach to 
learning which reflects how we 
experience the world outside the 
educational environment. Also the 
evaluation system for measuring 
individual learning progress seemed 
so much more sensible than letter 
grades. I wouldn't have a college 
degree if it wasn't for TESC; and I 
wouldn't have been able to pursue 
employment that was meaningful 
to me.

TESC was a perfect 
learning 
environment for 
me as I pursued an 
undergraduate 
and graduate 
degree while 
working and 
raising my 
daughter.

Yes. I am a retired state employee 
with a decent pension. My MPA 
degree helped my gain the state 
jobs that I had.

Many intelligent , 
innovative citizens and a 
great swimming pool

The questions 
about salary are 
poorly worded for 
a retiree to 
respond.

Evergreen has influenced me 
greatly and provided me with many 
opportunities




Evergreen gave me a wider 
perspective in life... Opened my 
narrow conservative views in a good 
way!

Na

Na

As far as I can tell, it did not affect 
who I am and what I am doing.

Easy access to higher 
education.

Evergreen has given me the tools to 
continue my education for a 
doctorate in education.

Evergreen helped 
me be the first 
person in my 
family ever to have 
a college degree, 
yet alone a 
graduate degree.

It made me more interested in 
issues of social justice. We spent a 
lot of time on health care issues 
when I was at Evergreen and I have 
continued to be interested. This 
year, I joined the Health Benefit 
Exchange and am working to 
implement the affordable care act. 
I do think my experience at 
Evergreen has influenced the career 
path I've followed.

Numerous people I work 
with and encounter every 
day have attended 
Evergreen. I believe we do 
have a strong community 
of people who care about 
others and are working to 
improve the environment, 
the economic opportunties 
and the quality of life here 
in Washington.

It is directly related to my current 
employment.

Evergreen could be more 
present in the community. 
It does contribute by being 
a local place for diverse 
learning.




When I worked for the State of WA, 
my MPA got me promoted. That led 
to a stint in the private sector, then 
back to the public sector. TESC gave 
me the opportunity for a great 
career, but more than that, has 
been instrumental in my intellectual 
curiosity, my diverse interests, and 
my dedication to learning for 
learning's sake.

I grew up in Olympia. I 
remember the old 
downtown and waterfront. 
Pretty ordinary, especially 
for a capital city. When I go 
back to visit, I go back to a 
vibrant, living downtown, 
and ain't help but credit 
TESC for much of the 
change. From Childhood's 
End to The Hands on 
Museum for Kids - and 
everything in between - 
TESC students have 
transformed Olympia.

One of the reasons 
I've been 
successful in my 
career is because 
TESC placed such 
an emphasis on 
critical and 
interdisciplinary 
thinking, and 
required me to 
express my 
understanding of 
the subjects at 
hand through 
writing and talking. 
There wasn't the 
option of simpy 
getting by on test 
scores. Likewise, I 
didn't have a 
simple GPA that 
spoke for what I 
could do. I knew I 
needed to 
"deliver" - which is 
a key life and 

I worked for the state for many 
years until I was riffed. I had a good 
job thanks to my MPA from 
Evergreen.

Not sure it does directly.

No.

It made me cynical and insecure.

It creates a lot of 
community connections. 
GRuB is a prime example.

Lose the 
libertarian faculty 
and obsession with 
feminism.




Yes it has because the college 
campus is a multi-cultural setting. 
Going to Evergreen has inspired me 
to want to do more.

It has helped me work with 
the Port Gamble S'Klallam 
Tribe by providing the 
educational qualifications I 
need for employment.

Question Number 
five, my area of 
study was Tribal 
Governance in 
Public 
Administration, 
there is no section 
pertaining to or 
similar to select as 
an option. I 
recently graduated 
in June of 2012 
and been actively 
looking for work 
since completing 
my degree, even 
though I have 
been working full-
time throughout 
my whole 
academic career.

I wouldn't be where I am today if it 
weren't for Evergreen. I still have 
excellent connections with former 
classmates. The student job I had 
on campus gave me experience to 
do research. The last paying job I 
had most recently was for a former 
classmate, doing research. The 
relationship that developed 
between the two of us during our 
program at Evergreen 6 years ago 
led to an excellent short-term 
research job 6.5 years later.

This survey did not 
ask about plans for 
the future or past 
occupation history, 
it did not mention 
anything about 
layoff or current 
economic 
situation. 
Therefore, I do not 
think that this 
survey applied to 
me.




Provided an educational pathway 
that helped me to qualify for my 
current work

Provides various four-year 
degree options and 
masters options for the 
local community and also 
for students across the 
USA, known for accepting 
credits to improve the 
ability of students to 
achieve degrees, other 
community events 
contribute to the local 
community

One of the 
greatest strengths 
is the MPA 
program that 
should be fully 
supported. A lot of 
people in WA state 
govt have 
completed an MPA 
and a lot of state 
govt employees 
work as adjunct 
faculty which 
enriches the 
program with 
people who can 
link students to 
the real 
experience of 
working to 
develop state 
government policy 
and administration




Evergreen really fostered my 
leadership abilities and gave me the 
skills and confidence I needed for 
career advancement within my 
current organization, and to start a 
business with my husband.

I joined the Community 
Investment Committee at 
UWTC while at Evergreen 
and enjoyed serving in that 
way for 2 years. I am 
currently not at the 
committee as I recently 
had a baby, and the 
demands of my job 
became contricting.

I work in a full 
time management 
position and make 
a little over 
$80,000/yr there, 
but I also own a 
bar with my 
husband which 
opened last year 
and therefore my 
total income is 
variable. I did a 
low estimate on 
take home, as 
we're currently 
trying to re-invest 
as much as 
possible into the 
business.

Evergreen provided me with direct 
knowledge, skills and abilities to 
competently complete my current 
job as a research analyst and fiscal 
note writer for the state.

Many of my competent co-
workers are TESC alums, 
leading me to believe 
Evergreen does a great job 
of training publicly-minded 
people for work in the 
social service sector.

Yes, too much to 
cover here and 
this question 
should be more 
specific.




I am a cheerleader for Evergreen. A 
long-time staff member who left 
with an MPA to seek a Phd in 
Oregon, moved to Hawaii to 
community work at the grassroots 
level and then came back to 
Washington, because the only place 
I really want to do is work for 
Evergreen. Why? It's like I grew up 
here and going away and coming 
back has given me great insights. 
Knowing what I know now makes 
we want to help revitalize people 
who have been here awhile and 
help prepare for the ones that 
come anew. Still, what's most 
difficult is that despite a solid 
resume and work history here, I 
land more interviews (150+ in the 
past year alone) outside of 
Evergreen -- it's rare that for all the 
jobs I apply for here that I 
interview. However, when a team 
leader calls and asks, can you come 
do some work for us. There is never 
a doubt. I come because I believe in 

Ironically, I create 
community wherever I go. 
Evergreen, contributes, 
yes, because much of my 
experience draws from 
what I have learned, how I 
have worked, with whom I 
have interacted, and how I 
have impacted the 
environment here.

my tag line is 
communiKana -- 
motivating you to 
success, because I 
really believe that 
we don't have 
enough people 
supporting each 
other. Luckily, I 
have a big heart 
and solid skillset 
from which to 
share that 
experience. 
People ask me 
what my field is? I 
am in 
organizational 
communications -- 
demonstrating 
how people, 
policy, and paper 
relate in short-
term projects and 
long-term 
planning. I write 

It was an interesting start to 
graduate school.

Provides education to a 
relatively small number of 
people.

As most of the 
information is 
demographic, 
what kind of 
question is that? 
You want to know 
how my weight 
has changed, or 
whether I've 
gotten shorter?




My Evergreen Masters program 
experience helped me become 
more centered and more 
professional.

Evergreen has drawn some 
great minds, hearts, and 
souls who have in turn 
helped many in the 
community build social 
capital. Consider the 
Procession of the Species, 
student art exhibits 
downtown, faculty art and 
former students' art at 
ArtsWalk, sustainability 
efforts, student activism, 
lots of MES and MPA grads 
in the public sector.

As someone 
experiencing a 
recent separation, 
the life satisfaction 
question is kind of 
like: "Other than 
that, how did you 
like the play, Mrs. 
Lincoln?"

Who I am -- Very Much What I am 
doing - Very Little

A great deal in terms of 
community environment 
and politics.

Unfortunately, my 
MPA has been of 
little use and 
poorly regarded. 
The debt, 
however, remains 
quite real.

Helped me build skills in analytical 
thinking, clear writing, research, 
and working collaboratively with 
diverse groups.

Brings people with many 
skills and abilities to live 
and contribute to the area. 
The campus itself is a 
wonderful resource to 
have in the area for 
everyone living or visiting 
here.

Although I am not 
currently working 
in the specific field 
that my master 
program studies 
covered, the 
broader life skills I 
learned at TESC 
give me 
confidence to be 
creative and 
collaborative in my 
business.




Rounded out my professional skills, 
particularly writing & speaking. 
TESC gave me skills that match the 
needs of a professional planner and 
which have helped me succeed in 
my field.

As a resident of Thurston 
County for almost 40 years 
I'm amazed that TESC 
continues to stay mostly 
uninvolved in the local 
community(ies). It does a 
great job training students 
academically, but is almost 
invisible as a community 
member institutionally. 
TESC has operated as a 
very separate institution, 
seemingly isolated on the 
Cooper Point peninsula, 
and rarely incorporates 
non-TESC residents in its 
activities or social and 
cultural events. The 
demise of Outdoor Ed. 
classes offered to the 
community, along with 
Super Saturday are either 
a reflection of, or 
examples, of the school's 
drive to 'separateness'. 
This is regrettable. 

I am a 
transportation 
planner and have 
been in the field of 
planning for 20+ 
years with public 
entities. This 
career path does 
not fit neatly into 
the standard 
jobs/professions 
categories which 
you use in this 
survey. Maybe you 
could add a box 
for all such careers 
that don't fit, so 
we could explain 
what it is we do 
out here.

It has given me the background 
information needed to make a 
differrence in my profession if and 
when the economy ever rebounds.

Evergreen provides an 
environment predisposed 
to ingraining the need to 
for people to participate in 
their respective businesses 
and communities.

While the survay 
asks what field I 
work in, it doesn't 
ask how that 
matches up to my 
education.




I am a college graduate because of 
Evergreen, and for that I am 
grateful. I can collaborate across 
very diverse groups of persons to 
work on problems. I think outside-
the-box (creative thinking). I am 
interdisciplinary in my approach. I 
am conscious and respectful of 
diverse experience and 
perspectives. On the other side, I 
did not end up where I thought I 
was headed in terms of career due 
to not being able to get the classes I 
wanted while at Evergreen -- in that 
sense it affected my future career 
path in a substantial way. Thank 
goodness it creates flexible, 
adaptive, quick-studies who can 
make the best of wherever they end 
up.

Quality of life in terms of 
the social and cultural 
consciousness of small 
businesses, local 
agriculture, and nonprofits 
in the area. ArtsWalk, 
Farmer's Market, GRUB, 
Safeplace, Tenant's Union, 
thriving downtown small 
business district, etc. Also 
brings in large volunteer 
(and low-paying 
internship) labor force who 
work throughout 
community while students 
in community-based 
projects, 
legislative/public/non-
profit internships, and 
other volunteerism. 
Faculty and staff are active 
in community 
organizations and boards. 
Occasionally there are 
speakers or cultural events 
that provide enrichment to 

It seems a little 
odd that you asked 
how long I've lived 
here since earning 
my last Evergreen 
degree. You are 
missing the fact 
that I moved to 
Washington to live 
and work in order 
to transfer to and 
graduate from 
Evergreen 20.5 
years ago. I am 
still here 
contributing to the 
economy -- it just 
seems odd to give 
an answer of 2 
years to your 
question, when my 
WA economic 
impact has been 
over 20 years. You 
never asked 
whether I was a 

I look beyond the obvious answers 
to current issues. I question facts as 
given by media and officials. I 
learned to "peel the onion" and 
apply what I learned to my 
everyday life - thinking in an 
interdisciplinary manner.

Graduates go into the 
community to create, think 
outside the box, advocate, 
serve, collaborate, 
problem solve and address 
challenging social issues - 
all skills learned at 
Evergreen.

The ability to critically think.

Yes, in so many ways.

Writing and 
articulating well

positively. i make friends 
aware of what they don't 
think about

Student loan debt 
relief is a pretty 
big issue. I'm $70k 
in the hole for an 
education i can't 
use to earn a living 
because of 
permanent 
disability

Evergreen saved my life. I lost 
everything in our current economic 
depression, and the only reason I 
survived financially is because I was 
going to Evergreen. It's a fact that 
the one of the main reasons why I 
earned my last two jobs is because I 
had completed a master's degree. 
Evergreen's master's degree in 
public administration also proves 
how much I understand and how 
dedicated I am to government and 
public service.

Evergreen creates the 
future leaders of America 
who will become more 
involved in their 
communities and make a 
better place for our world.

Perfect education for my field of 
work. Met my wife there & our son 
is also a graduate.

I was in the first 
freshman class at 
TESC, didn't know 
what to expect, 
worked out very 
well.

I wouldn't have my job without 
TESC.

great graduates ready for 
the work world. graduates 
striving for environmental, 
labor, and social justice.

Yes - My MPA degree helped me get 
a job with the State.

Increased intellectual and 
cultural awareness in the 
community.

None




Totally

Produces students who are 
critical thinkers and have a 
deep abiding concern for 
the health of others

TESC exposed me to a much wider 
set of views than found in the 
mainstream of american 
understanding of the world.

TESC added intellectuals to 
Olympia; made Olympia 
gay-friendly; added 
economic vitality that has 
helped Olympia weather 
several recessions, small 
and large.

My education at 
TESC has affected 
who I am.

Improved my capacity to take on 
broader and greater 
admininstrative tasks. At the time, I 
was a division chair with teaching 
and division responsibilities. I am 
now Dean of Instructional Planning 
and Development.




Evergreen will always have a warm 
place in my heart because of the 
way the school, instructors really 
embrace interdisciplinary styles and 
learning modalities. Its pedagogy 
match my learning needs and I 
excelled in both my undergrad and 
grad programs.

Ironically this survey really 
does not fit my current 
situation as a Peace Corps 
Volunteer in Belize but 
Evergreen is well 
represented here. There 
are 2 others who attended 
Evergreen who are in my 
class here as well serving 
the people of Belize in the 
PC.

Yes, there should 
be an other or NA 
with the prior 
questions and a 
place to add 
comments 
because otherwise 
my quantifying is 
more of a 
statistical outlier ... 
I volunteer every 
day as an example 
and the employer 
questions do not 
capture what I am 
doing nor does the 
income justify the 
value of service 
through PC.

You need to 
specifically survey 
the MIT alumni - 
teachers have no 
jobs!




I am succeeding in my current 
position because of my education at 
Evergreen. I've always worked at 
nonprofit organizations and wanted 
to learn more about organizational 
management and community 
leadership. I was privileged to 
acquire the necessary knowledge 
and skills in the MPA program and 
now work in public administration 
supporting nonprofit organizations 
and communities in need. It is the 
perfect combination of life, work, 
and education experience!

Evergreen serves an 
important role in bringing 
critical conversations to a 
public forum. I also see a 
lot of Evergreen graduates 
in community leadership 
positions.

I developed or enhanced skills 
which aid in my work.

I am not sure.

No

It gave me a solid foundation to 
move forward with.

It doesn't.




Not at all

Not at all

My situation is 
living in a foreign 
country where I 
am basically 
trapped in a 
miserable job, but 
the health care 
benefits are very 
good. Beyond 
that, I often 
wonder why I even 
bothered to get 
diplomas. In this 
wretched 
economy, I think 
most of us are 
suffering. I have 
come to accept 
the fact that I am 
trapped in a job 
that is miserable. 
But I must 
remember many 
people don't even 
have jobs.

Improved my communication and 
critical thinking skills, broadened my 
understanding of the world




The theories and applications I was 
exposed to, and eventually 
experienced, in the two years that I 
studied The Art of Leadership and 
Transitional Studies in my Bachelors 
of Arts program changed my life 
forever. The program's itinerary and 
expected output/outcomes built 
the solid foundation I currently rely 
upon as I face the many hurdles and 
challenges life has presented since 
9/11. The ability to base my future 
progress on this foundation makes 
the experience "THE MOST 
INVIGORATING AND SUBSTANTIAL 
ACADEMIC ACTIVITY" I have ever 
encountered. My Masters program 
further developed my 
"professional" skill set to prepared 
me with the tools, mechanisms and 
confidence I required to 
"commence" and give back to the 
communities in which I serve.

I am a living, breathing, 
acting and reacting 
product of the Evergreen 
Experience. I am often 
complimented for the 
work that I do in my 
community and actively 
solicited to do even more. 
One of the most significant 
impacts I have given to my 
community is in the lives 
of the people with which I 
interact and provide 
example for in the 
everyday world - i.e., my 
children, grand children, 
family, friends, family of 
friends, co-workers and 
casual encounters. My 
interactions with these 
people are always positive 
and building experiences 
for these people. I literally 
am crying right now as I 
am writing this - recalling 
the many life changing 

Made me a bit more self-confident. 
It has affected my prospects for a 
better job in the future.

This is a very 
tiresome long

It has opened my eyes to different 
career options

I am better equipped to 
work/volunteer in a social 
service capacity

taking time off

me an edge when 
applying.

I am a different person than I was 
before I went back to college to 
finish my degree, and then again to 
obtain my MPA degree. I view life 
differently and my place in the 
world. I view problems from a 
different perspective, from more of 
a systems perspective and no longer 
just look at the surface of an issue. 
My thinking has changed entirely. 
Evergreen students are better able 
to serve their communities because 
they think differently about issues 
and people and their role on this 
planet. Critical thinking - that's the 
key. Becoming an Evergreen 
student changed my life path. I 
have the knowledge to have 
opinions and draw conclusions and 
perhaps to make a difference in this 
world. I am very grateful.

In my job at a small non-
profit in downtown 
Olympia, I witness 
students everyday 
contributing service to the 
community while they 
learn. I witness them in 
offices, on the streets, and 
in shelters and social 
service organizations 
providing service with 
excellence. I personally 
have become acquainted 
with dozens of Evergreen 
students at our 
organization who offered 
tireless service to our 
clients, amazing skills in 
the office, and bring an 
amazing skill and 
knowledge base to their 
community service work. 
We operate a small family 
shelter staffed with many 
Evergreen students. I am 
not sure we could operate 

Thank you for the 
opportunity to 
express my 
gratitude for the 
education I 
received at 
Evergreen, and its 
vital role in 
contributing to the 
betterment of our 
community.

Yes, I am a Court Director & manage 
11 staff (including 8 clerks and 3 
probation staff)

Somewhat, I prefer to 
donate money rather than 
my time.

No.




Thanks to the experience and the 
education in TESC, I have been 
working for formulating better 
Hyogo Prefecture.

Thanks to the TESC, I have 
been able to contribute to 
internationalization and 
globalization of the 
community, Hyogo 
Prefecture.

My community, 
Hyogo Prefecture, 
has the sistership 
with the State of 
Washington. On 
the context of 
sistership 
cooperation 
between the two 
tregion, I has sent 
to TESC as a MPA 
candidate from 
Hyogo Prefectural 
Goverment. Then, 
I received MPA 
from TESC in 1988 
and since then, I 
have worked as a 
International 
Agffairs' Officer & 
a Economic 
Development 
Officer for the 
government.

Not just on a professional level but 
also personally I met many friends I 
maintain contact today.

Not sure.




As a result of attending TESC I was 
able to have a rewarding and 
responsible job in public service for 
20 years.

One of my son's 
graduated from 
Evergreen with a 
BS and a Masters 
in Environmental 
Studies and works 
in his field. I 
actually returned 
to work a couple 
of years after I 
retired for 8 
months part time 
on a project and 
was in the first 
MBA graduating 
class.

My educational experience at 
Evergreen greatly improve my 
critical thinking which has been a 
very valuable asset in the 
management work I do.

Clearly there is economic 
value from the salary and 
wages of faculty and staff 
but there is also value to 
the local community 
through the numerous 
programs that involve off 
campus community 
members.




Evergreen was like a cacoon, gave 
this catepillar his wings.

I learned at Evergreen, to 
never say never, and as 
such I have found little in 
my community I have 
found I could not do if I 
had the will to do it.

I have embarked, 
as I approach my 
60th birthday, a 
course of study (4 
years long) to be 
ordained as a 
deacon in the 
Episcopal Chruch. 
Evergreen taugh 
me to never quit 
learning and never 
say no to the 
possibiliy that you 
can contribute 
wherever you are 
and whatever is 
before you. You 
just have to will it, 
and be willing to 
make the sacrifice 
to make it happen.

Evergreen has helped me in the 
professionalism of my demeanor.

My education has helped 
the community in looking 
at alternative ways in 
which I may serve my 
community.

Public 
Administration 
program should 
include more 
accounting/budgeting preparation.

Supported my development as a 
critical thinker, as a person others 
look to for leadership, and in seeing 
the big picture

Nope, love

chose to attend 
there!

The institution granted me freedom 
to balance higher education with 
my other life as a working class 
teenage mother. I would not have 
been able to continue to care for 
my family and study if I had 
attended any other school. By the 
time I finished at Evergreen I had 
reinvented myself completely, and I 
cannot exaggerate how important 
Evergreen was in building my 
professional life. In 1994 was just a 
poor kid from peninsula with very 
little hope for a future. By 2004 I 
was living in Europe, publishing 
books, running companies. 
Evergreen was absolutely the key to 
my success.

Evergreen alumni form the 
core of my personal friend 
network. I see people I 
knew in Olympia all over 
the world - we are an 
extended, inquisitive, 
wandering sort of 
intellectual family. We 
work in all levels and all 
industries (though many 
would not have the time to 
fill in this kind of survey).

I was a first-
generation college 
student and 
Washington state 
resident when I 
started at 
Evergreen. I was 
admitted under 
affirmative action 
guidelines and 
granted a cultural 
diversity 
scholarship due to 
my family 
background and 
status as a person 
with a disability. I 
would like to 
emphasize that 
these programs 
were absolutely 
critical in my 
success, giving me 
the funding and 
freedom to break 
out of generations 

Helped me get a relevant state job, 
although that's changed with 
economy. Gave me connections I 
cherish & maintain.

Produces an immense 
number of valuable 
community members. 
Gives the community a 
special flavor.

I'm retired, making 
some jewelry but 
mainly surviving 
on soc sec & state 
pension. No way 
to indicate this. 
Plus I have added 
several certs to my 
education, but 
there's nowhere to 
indicate that.
