The Clipper
Online/Digital
This is the official website for Everett Community College’s student news-gathering organization, The Clipper. Powered by student writers and editors, The Clipper aims to have student voices heard, report accurate information and to reflect the EvCC and surrounding community transparently.
The Clipper has served the student body and college community at large since 1943. Over the years, The Clipper’s styles have changed as have the students on staff, yet our purpose doesn’t change.
In January of 2017, the 75-year newsprint legacy made the leap to magazine format. Print editions of The Clipper are available at many locations on campus. Look for the Clipper-red boxes. Source

Search ArticlesThe wild west of AI in academics
Since 2022, generative AI technology has disrupted classrooms nationwide. With no clear direction from the school, instructors at EvCC say they are fending for themselves to set their AI policy. The takeaway coming from seven faculty interviews is that it’s going to take a lot of experimenting and personal education to effectively implement an AI policy.
Power outage strikes campus
Around 6:50 a.m. yesterday, a car struck an electrical transformer on Tower Street, which caused a total power outage on EvCC’s main campus, as well as parts of the surrounding neighborhood. The crash occurred at the intersection of Tower Street and Trojan Way, near Shuksan Hall. No injury was reported according to Nick Cascaddan, Director of Campus Security.
End of an Era
For the last 24 years, Randy Smith has been the only head coach for Everett Community College softball since taking over the program in 2002. After more than two decades at Everett, Smith is retiring from coaching. He’s leaving behind a program that he helped build, and a group of student-athletes who say his impact reached far beyond the softball field.
The return of the Trojan Pep Band
Squeaking shoes. Occasional house music. A player shouting for a pass. For 50 years, this was the sound of EvCC’s indoor games. Now, a sound cuts through the familiar quiet — one that hasn’t been regularly heard on campus since the 1970s. The EvCC pep band has made a return under the leadership of band director Rick Flores. Playing at home volleyball and basketball games, EvCC is now one of the only two schools in the Northwest Athletic Conference with a pep band.
A cut above
Six miles from the bustling main campus, dozens of cosmetology students are engaging in some potentially life-altering chemistry. Students Paige Cooley and Ciara Jenkins have spent the afternoon honing their skills in hairstyling by using each other as models. “So earlier, we did a clear gloss on her and blow dried it straight,” Cooley said.
Front doors and first steps
Those arriving on campus this fall may have noticed the large screens and bright signage that have recently adorned the space between Gray Wolf Hall (GWH) and Parks Student Union (PSU). “Start Here” in glowing white and yellow letters announce the presence of a new Welcome Center on campus. Brandon Dyer, Vice President of Strategic Enrollment Management and Student Success, said the idea for the Welcome Center was met with support and enthusiasm from faculty members.
Taking flight in the Big Apple
Summer — the season of sun, beaches and vacation. As the spring quarter reaches its end, one needs to figure out what they’re going to do with their break. Some of you may be staying home with your families. Some of you might be working full-time or taking summer classes. I, for one, will be birding as much as possible. I recently spent a week in New York City for a graduation and was lucky enough to spend my free time birding around the city.
In the wake of San Juan Island
On the rocky shores of Washington, you may have been lucky to spot a creature or two scuttering within the crevices. With many tide pools lining the Washington shorelines, there’s often a plethora of life scattered within and around them. For these intertidal critters, there’s no better place to be than the San Juan Islands. On May 30, I had the opportunity to travel with the EvCC Marine Biology majors and fellow Marine Biology students on an all-day excursion to San Juan Island.
Swiped the bag and stole the record
Earlier in the season, Zenk etched his name into EvCC history by breaking the previous all-time record of 39 stolen bases and setting a new mark for future players to chase. Since then, the sophomore outfielder has shattered that record with 77 career stolen bases, establishing himself as one of the most dangerous runners in Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC). The 20-year-old from Brier, Washington became a key player for the No. 1-seeded Trojans in the NWAC standings.
Mysthaven
The perfect time to get away from the stuffiness of school and work might just be on a sunny weekend at Whidbey Island. Whidbey Island Ren Faire was held from May 23 to 24, starting from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with many activities and vendors to explore while being in elaborate costumes and in character for the time.
