Who we are…
Inspired to teach, Dr. Judith Dornbach trains future nurses
I had my eye on Southwestern for many years when we were visiting the area 2-3 times a year. I would point at the college and say, “I want to work there some day!”My dream came true! I absolutely love my job and enjoy the students and the SWOCC family. My teaching philosophy is based on a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
Now, I’m enjoying my fifth year at Southwestern. I teach Pharmacology and the second year nursing courses. I’m based at the Curry Campus in Brookings, and more. With Hi-Flex teaching, I have the pleasure of teaching Curry and Coos Bay students.
I have found that the environment in Oregon has changed me, and my quality of life has greatly improved. I take time to “smell the roses” and enjoy the outdoors, the wildlife, and the beach. I enjoy spending time with my husband. I embrace even the smallest things in life and get really excited when I see wildlife in our yard!

Who we are…
Meet our world champion – Chef Chris Foltz!
Chef Foltz brings 25 years of real-world culinary technique and training into his classes at Southwestern’s Oregon Coast Culinary Institute. This Certified Master Ice Sculptor also leads the college’s competitive ice carving adventures. In fact, Foltz holds claim to fame as the 2021 and 2022 World Ice Art team champion.
Foltz’s path to culinary instructor started in an inner-city. He was a young kid headed the wrong way and needing a job. A family hired him to work in their restaurant. He started work in the kitchen and fell in love with it. He found a safe place, a close family, and good food. Foltz stayed in Baltimore for culinary school, then traveled the world cooking excellent food in amazing places: Vegas’ Mon Ami Gabi, the Nassau Yacht Club in the Bahamas. He even studied culinary in Ireland.
“What I really enjoyed in the industry was the intensity of it. Now, I enjoy being able to prepare young people for that reality and give them good tools to use. Hopefully they get past the hardships and into what people love about the career. There’s so much fun, family, art, and just work. It’s a great world. It absorbs you and becomes your life.”
