Tim Cook, president of Clackamas Community College, will run 32 miles per day on a route to reach 17 colleges across Oregon in about 50 days.
Starting June 16, President Cook will run about 1,500 miles across the state in an effort dubbed "Run for Oregon Community College Students." The run is designed to raise awareness of students facing housing and food insecurity, and and funds for each college to address the issue.
Clackamas Community College President Tim Cook joins the Exchange to discuss his effort. As a native Oregonian and first-generation college student, President Cook has worked in higher education for over 30 years and served as president of Clackamas Community College since 2018.
