The school: Umpqua Community College, 6 miles north of Roseburg, Ore., normally has 3,000 full-time students and 16,000 part-timers. The 100-acre campus is situated on verdant pasture along the North Umpqua River and was established in 1964. It has 16 buildings, and the campus includes a track, tennis courts, an outdoor pool and a vineyard. In 2010, the school started construction on a $6.7 million viticulture building that now houses the Southern Oregon Wine Institute, which is a state of the art wine production and teaching facility.

The community: The college is in Douglas County, Ore., 6 miles north of Roseburg, the county's most populous city. Hanlin describes the area as a timber community with 107,000 people. He says it's a peaceful community, and UCC is the only higher education facility in the county. There was a shooting at Roseburg High School in 2006, but no one was killed.
