From the President

Eric W. Murray Headshot Welcome!

Guided by our vision to support every individual engaged in lifelong learning, Cascadia’s community of exceptional staff and faculty will strive to deliver accessible, equitable, and superior educational experiences to inspire every person to achieve their educational and career goals.

Think critically, learn actively, interact in diverse environments, and communicate with clarity. Those are Cascadia’s four learning outcomes driven by our commitment to be a collaborative, learner-centered college.

Every class is designed to embrace those learning outcomes and exposes students to small group work where projects, presentations, and teaching others are key components. Whether you are planning to transfer to a four-year institution, gain skills for a better paying job, learn English as an international student, or earn a credential to help you get a job quickly, Cascadia has a program for you. Cascadia is a young, vibrant college and the newest, most dynamic campus in the community college system. Its progressive faculty helps students learn that all disciplines relate to each other. Students will see themes discussed across all classes, like global awareness, social justice, or environmental sustainability that foster a sense of belonging and create a support network. And, students will have exposure to our partners, the University of Washington Bothell, on our co- located campus. Cascadia is a top transfer institution in the state.

Even in these challenging times, we are committed to making your college education accessible, affordable, and meaningful through various resources. We hope you’ll use this catalog to help guide your way. Our staff and faculty are looking forward to working with you to support your success!

Sincerely, 

Murray Signature
