Thank you to another wonderful alumni 🤍 “I have worked at Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital for 4 1/2 years now. We are a 25 bed critical-access rural hospital. I love being a respiratory therapist because of the variety. As RTs, we are capable of treating a large array of patients with countless therapies, medications, and procedures. We work in all units of the hospital at Hood River: FBC, ER, general medicine, ICU, PACU, outpatient, and same day surgery.

Congratulations to two seniors in OIT Civil Engineering who were each awarded scholarships from the Oregon American Public Works Association (APWA) Scholastic Foundation. 🎉🏅 Garrett Oman was awarded the APWA Civil Engineering Scholarship to continue pursuing a career in the broad field of Public Works.

Over the last year, Oregon Tech's Business Management department has developed an exciting new program that provides high school students from around the state a way to accelerate their path to a college degree. Students at participating high schools who are active members of business clubs and take dual credit courses can apply for this accelerated pathway to a college degree. The program guides students into early credit opportunities while in high school, resulting in considerable savings of time and money with a seamless transfer into a business program at Oregon Tech.

Alumni Spotlight ⭐️ Hi, I'm Evan, I graduated from Oregon Tech in 2017. I have gone on to work at Seattle Children's Hospital, one of the top pediatric facilities in the country. I have worked here for over 2 years now and I love it. Working with kids is what I wanted to do for a long time. I enjoy being able to go on journeys with these kids some from birth. Many of these kids can be very sick from birth and may require respiratory interventions. Being able to bring them from a bleak outlook to giving them a chance at life is so satisfying.
