Mt. Hood Community College Aquatic Center To Open With New Manager
The center begins reopening May 30 and will fully open on June 13.
GRESHAM, OR —The Mt. Hood Community College Aquatic Center will reopen after being closed for the past year because of COVID-19 restrictions and work on the center, the college said. When it opens, it will have a new executive director.
The school hired Andrew Jackman, who worked 15 years in aquatics, general recreation, finance and emergency management, according to the school.
The center, which serves the community as well as the school, will open in stages.
