Dare to Lead
Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to LeadTM is an empirically based courage-building program designed for professionals. Dr. Brown has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy, and most recently completed a seven-year study on courageous leadership. The most significant finding from Brené’s latest research is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable. Join us in this experiential course to develop your courage and grow as a leader.

You no longer have to install solar panels or own a home to enjoy the benefits of solar energy! COCC is spreading the word to anyone who wants to reduce their electricity bills and carbon footprint by joining the Oregon Community Solar Program. All Pacific Power customers are eligible to participate, including homeowners, renters, businesses, nonprofits, and institutions. There is no cost to sign up or cancel, and participants receive a 5% savings on their subscribed energy, while low-income individuals are eligible for a 40% discount! The program allows participants to save money and support Oregon-grown clean energy, all without having to install solar panels on their own roof.
During the month of April, for each person that references COCC when they sign up for community solar, Oregon Shines will make a $25 donation to the Alex Kollar Memorial Scholarship, which was created to encourage COCC students to pursue sustainability education and community service with joy, hope, and impassioned determination.
