Karen Vogt		Karen earned her Liberal Studies degree (B.A. '90) and teaching credential ('91) from PLNC. She continued her education at CSUSB (M.A. '99), earning a degree in Science Education and Instructional Technology. She spent 12 years teaching middle school math and science in Menifee and Temecula. She left the classroom for 7 years to become a TOSA and successfully wrote and managed several technology integration grants (EETT) for Temecula. She is currently back in the classroom teaching lower elementary (K-1).
Ellen Gould		Ellen (Rhone) Gould was one of the first psychology majors to graduate from Pasadena College in 1959. She went to Cal State L.A. for an MA in psychology, then worked at Pacific State Hospital for the mentally retarded, now known as Lanterman. After marrying an Atlantan, Jim Gould, and moving to Georgia she worked for the Atlanta Public Schools and obtained an Educational Specialist degree from Georgia State University. In Georgia, and later in California, she did occasional contract work for various school systems and a community-based MR center, while raising two children (they are currently a web-site administrator and a high school art teacher). After starting as a school psychologist in East Los Angeles, she found it expedient to enhance her high school and college Spanish, so she traveled to Mexico to attend language school sessions. She retired from the L.A. Unified School District after nearly twenty years' service in September 2007. Since retiring Ellen has become involved with Court Appointed Special Advocates, an agency that provides mentoring for individual children who are wards of the juvenile dependency court. She also volunteers at her church, Rose Drive Friends in Yorba Linda, and enjoys being a grandmother of two. She recently went to China to meet her third grandchild, whose arrival in California is eagerly anticipated in a few months. Ellen and husband Jim are also looking forward to their third cruise in Europe. Ellen’s parents, Bill and Thelma Rhone, long-time residents of Pasadena, CA, bequeathed and established an endowed scholarship for Education Associates that benefits graduate education students at the Arcadia Center.
