PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release November 10, 2010 Contact: Mary Roda (714) 432-5726 OC Department of Education Honors Hue Pham, OCC Dean of Counseling Hue T. Pham, Ed.D., Orange Coast College Dean of Counseling, Special Programs and Services, will receive the Outstanding Contributions to Education Award from the Orange County Board of Education for her personal and professional contributions to education next week. William M. Habermehl, County Superintendent of Schools, will present the award at a ceremony and reception on Thursday, Nov. 18th, at 11:00 a.m. in the Board Room of the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE). Long Pham, Ph.D., a trustee on the Orange County Board of Education, nominated Dr. Pham for the award. During the past 25 years at OCC, “Dr. Hue Pham has taught and helped many of her students who are now serving as doctors, lawyers, university professors and even a state legislator,” he said. “I believe that her notable contribution deserves the recognition from OCDE.” Active in the Orange County Vietnamese community, Dr. Pham is well known through her radio programs, which have been popular with Vietnamese listeners for the past 16 years. Four years ago she expanded her reach to include a biweekly program on Little Saigon TV, which airs every other Tuesday evening from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Dr. Pham uses her radio and television program to inform her audience about opportunities that education can bring. She interviews educators and professionals from a variety of careers. She translates English into Vietnamese for her listeners. “Vietnamese parents need to be aware of options and encourage their children to go into careers that match their ability and interests,” Dr. Pham said. MORE Dr Hue Pham Honored, Page 2 Dr. Pham, a resident of Costa Mesa, has been dean at OCC since 2000. Before that, she served the college for 15 years as a counselor. She also is advisor for OCC’s Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) and helped to establish the VSA Foundation, which has provided more than 50 scholarships to students. The VSA also presents an annual Vietnamese Culture Night at OCC. “One of Dr. Hue’s greatest strengths as an educational leader is that she comes to her management role with a very strong background as an educator/counselor, which she has never forgotten,” said Pat Arfsten, a member of OCC’s counseling faculty for 36 years. “She challenges her staff to reach for the high bar, never forgetting the complex challenges” they face. A native of Thai Binh, North Vietnam, Dr. Pham moved with her family to South Vietnam to escape the influence of the Communist north. In 1968, she came to the United States as an international student. She earned a bachelors degree in math from Siena Heights College in Adrian, MI, and received a master’s degree in counselor education from Marywood College in Scranton, PA. She completed her doctorate in counseling education from the University of Houston. Dr. Pham and her husband, Long V. Nguyen, have three grown children.
