EPCC HONORING THE PAST, BUILDING THE FUTURE
Frances Moreno
The year was 1973. A young Austin High School graduate was encouraged to continue her education by attending a recently established El Paso Community College. One of her memories of Logan Heights as a student was, while she was waiting in front of a building for her next class, a distinguished, down-to-earth, gentleman sat next to her and began talking to her. They stared talking about the weather, what she was majoring in and how she had started at El Paso Community College. The young girl’s name was Frances Rodriguez. The gentleman’s name was Dr. Alfredo de los Santos, El Paso Community College’s first president. She states that this is only one example of how down to earth even the Administration was back in those days. 46 years later, that young girl, now Frances Moreno, is still very much part of the EPCC family. She was fortunate to start working at the college as a Work-Study employee, and later obtaining employment with the Financial Aid Department. While working with the Financial Aid Department she flourished from being a clerk, to being in charge of the College Work-Study Program and then becoming a Manager in charge of the Rio Grande Financial Aid Office.
She earned a BA degree in Business, Human Resources, from Park University, and a MA in Counseling from Webster University. “El Paso Community College has played a major role not only in my education and my career, but also in my personal life,” says Ms. Moreno. “While a student at EPCC I met the love of my life, Alfredo Moreno, in one of my classes. He had just returned from serving our country in Vietnam. So, EPCC has given me a great education, exciting professional opportunities and a husband.”
Ms. Moreno retired from EPCC in 2006 but couldn’t stay away for long. She came back on a part-time basis and is currently a Counselor at the Mission del Paso Campus. Her duties are to offer counseling services to general students and students with disabilities. “I love my job,” she says. “I find it very rewarding helping and guiding students toward exciting careers – especially those students with disabilities.” I have learned so much from them.
The Moreno family-EPCC tradition continued with Ms. Moreno’s four children all attending EPCC. Her daughter Virginia Bustillos continued her education and received a MA in Counseling and her son Joseph Moreno earned a BA in Economics. Even in tragedy, the Moreno’s fervent belief in education has become evident. Two of the Moreno children, Bernadette and Patrick, tragically lost their lives. In their memory, the Patrick and Bernadette Memorial Scholarship was established to assist EPCC students majoring in Business and Art. “There is a special scholarship named after two extraordinary children that has helped and will continue to help those students who need that extra financial push to continue their education,” states Ms. Moreno.
The Moreno’s and El Paso Community College- two inseparable families.
EPCC HONORING THE PAST, BUILDING THE FUTURE
Leo Gamboa
As with so many young people wondering about continuing their education after high school, Leo Gamboa made his decision to start at El Paso Community College. As graduate fresh out of high school, Leo knew very little about college. It simply was not part of the conversation in his everyday world. Nevertheless, he took the big step. “EPCC showed me the world of higher education,” recalls Leo. “Thanks to the amazing service of qualified professionals who did what they loved and loved what they did, my instructors at EPCC showed me the benefits of research, internships, travel, experiences and final success of attending this special institution.” Leo gives special thanks to tutors who ensured that is challenges weren’t handicaps but opportunities for success. Because of these special people, Leo flourished during his years at El Paso Community College.
The opportunities he was afforded at EPCC settled him into the right path at the University of Texas at El Paso and internships in Wisconsin. “The knowledge I acquired during my years at EPCC I applied everywhere I went. In Wisconsin, I learned how to map complex structures ahead of many PhD students thanks to the valuable insight of my EPCC instructors.” Leo’s talents were also evident at UTEP where he used geographic software to develop maps to assess community assets in a region of El Paso facing possible displacement. He boasts, “at every point of my professional trajectory, EPCC has proven me right.”
Leo offers this advice to current and future EPCC students – “See beyond the horizon. Move past anything that may block you from achieving your education dreams. Embrace the endless dimensions of possibility and promise to push EPCC’s legacy further and further.”
Leo’s success story is one of many shared by former students of El Paso Community College. These stories are inspirational and testaments to the importance of El Paso Community College as it celebrates 50 years of serving the educational needs of our community.

El Paso Transmountain Community Cleanup Event
With the support of Adopt-A-Highway and Franklin Mountains State Park, a concerned resident has organized a community cleanup of the highway that crosses our Franklin Mountains. The public response has been amazing! We cordially invite you to cover the event where El Pasoans come together to give back to one of our beautiful landmarks.
The event is this Saturday, January 19, 2019 from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm.
We are meeting at the top of Smuggler’s Pass on the Trans Mountain Road (Loop 375) at the Ron Coleman Trailhead. If you Google it you may find it as Mammoth Truck Trail Parking.
The purpose for organizing this event is to bring neighboring Adopt-A-Highway holders together along with those who live around the area, use its designated trails to bike, hike or walk, and others who care about our beautiful landmark. The mountains are home to countless wildlife, vegetation and provide us with an admirable landscape. Many times we forget how vulnerable nature is, therefore we want to use this event to reminded us all of how important it is to care for our mountains. More than picking up trash, we want to raise awareness of the amount of trash that ends up in our beautiful mountains with the hopes of minimizing the trash we produce.
Below are additional links about the event:

Two Hospitals of Providence CEOs receive national recognition as women leaders
Monica Vargas-Mahar and Tasha Hopper make Becker’s Hospital Review list
EL PASO, Texas — The Hospitals of Providence is thrilled to announce that two of its hospital CEOs have been nationally recognized as women leaders in the healthcare industry.
Monica Vargas-Mahar and Tasha Hopper were named to the Becker’s Hospital Review 2018 list of “Women Hospital and Healthcare Leaders to Know”.
As Becker’s notes, “These women are hospital and health system executives for institutions across the nation. These leaders face the challenges of running healthcare organizations head-on. Many wear multiple hats within their health system to promote organizational growth and drive innovation.”
Monica Vargas-Mahar serves as the Market Chief Operating Officer for The Hospitals of Providence and the Chief Executive Officer for the East Campus. As Market COO, she oversees operations for the entire network in the El Paso area. As CEO of the East Campus, she successfully guided the hospital to achieve the advancement of its trauma designation to a Level 3 emergency room. Vargas-Mahar was also instrumental in helping both the Sierra Campus and East Campus receive a Grade “A” by Leapfrog for patient safety.
Tasha Hopper serves as Chief Executive Officer for The Hospitals of Providence Transmountain Campus. Having begun her career as a Labor and Delivery nurse at the Memorial Campus, she has made a difference and inspired those around her as she’s persevered and served in several capacities to include Director of Nursing, Assistant Chief Nursing Officer, Associate Administrator, Chief Operating Officer and now Chief Executive Officer of the Transmountain Campus. As the hospital’s first employee, Hopper oversaw the Transmountain Campus’ $120 million construction and has continued to oversee its development, operations and growth since opening its doors in January 2017.
Both Vargas-Mahar and Hopper are inspirational and compassionate leaders, determined to make a difference in healthcare and in the El Paso community. Becker’s Hospital Review selected 143 women to its list of hospital and health system leaders to know. They were selected to the list for their success in helping to achieve financial, operational and clinical goals; as well as, contributing to the culture of innovation and transformation valued by The Hospitals of Providence and its staff, patients and the community.

Museum Members Expected to be Blown Away by Tornado!
Membership Drive Highlights Event
(Alamogordo, New Mexico, January 3, 2019) – Museum members will have exclusive access to the Tornado jet fighter when the aircraft is showcased at the Otero County Fairgrounds on Sunday, January 13.
Beginning at noon on January 13, the public is invited to come to the fairgrounds for the official hand-off of the plane from the German Air Force to the museum. The ceremony is planned for 1:00 PM. Before and after the ceremony, museum members will have exclusive access to the Tornado, which will be behind barricades to protect it. They will also have the opportunity to take advantage of other special discounts being offered during the event only, such as an additional ten percent at the onsite gift shop and for summer camp registrations.
“We’re kicking off the New Year with a whirlwind membership drive during the Tornado event,” said International Space Hall of Fame Foundation (ISHFF) President Johnny Powell. The ISHFF handles memberships for the museum and the funds raised through memberships are used to support museum activities such as education programs, new exhibits, and more. “Our goal is to at least double our current membership during this event and as extra incentive, we’ll be offering one time only discounts and of course, access to the Tornado,” said Powell. Museum members receive 10% off gift shop purchases and summer camp registrations as a member benefit, however during the Tornado event at the fairgrounds that discount jumps up to 20%. In addition, discounts will also be offered at onsite food vendors.
Museum members will be able to get inside the barrier around the jet, take photos and even pretend like they’re towing it themselves. “If you are a museum member, and you want to bring your son or daughter along with their tricycle or batmobile, we’ll hook it up to the tow bar and pretend like your youngster is pulling that plane right across the fairgrounds!” said Powell. Current museum members are encouraged to attend and take advantage of the photo opportunity and the onsite instant discounts.
The museum’s gift shop will be onsite under the tent, signing up new museum members and registering existing members. Each member will receive a set number of tickets that they’ll be able to use to gain access to the Tornado, redeem for discounts at on-site vendors like Au Jus BBQ or use to get an extra discount on summer camp programs. The museum’s education department will be on hand with exciting science demonstrations, free activities for the kids, and hourly “trash can launches.”
To become a museum member prior to the event, Powell recommended a visit to the museum gift shop. “Our gift shop staff is ready to sign new members up right now, or at least from ten to five on Monday and Wednesday thru Saturday, or noon to five on Sunday,” he said. In addition, new members can also register on the museum’s website. “The advantage to getting your membership before the event is that all you’ll have to do that day is show up and sign in at our registration table,” said Powell. Museum memberships start at $35 for an individual.
The New Mexico Museum of Space History, a Smithsonian Affiliate, is a division of the NM Department of Cultural Affairs. For more information, call 575-437-2840 or toll free 1-877-333-6589 or visit the website at www.nmspacemuseum.org. Like us at: www.facebook.com/NMSpaceMuseum/
