An Oregon Tech connection comes full circle in Finland! While attending the ICT Summer School at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki, Oregon Tech students recently had an unexpected opportunity thanks to an Oregon Tech alumnus. Kari Veikkolainen studied at Metropolia and spent a term as an exchange student at Oregon Tech nearly 20 years ago.

Eight Oregon Tech students from our Klamath Falls, Portland-Metro, and Online campuses recently arrived in Finland to attend a three-week intensive academic program, ICT Summer School, at Oregon Tech's international partner institution, Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki. After meeting virtually through information sessions this spring, students connected in person for the first time outside Helsinki's central train station. They then joined a walking tour of downtown Helsinki, learning about Finnish culture, business, and daily life while visiting key landmarks.

The great faculty and alumni of Oregon Tech's online Master of Science in Healthcare Leadership program have a new video that explains more about the program and how it helps professionals thrive in their leadership roles, and how incoming professionals can learn to be successful. The program is unique in its focus on the big picture of our population’s health and the technical skills to help you thrive in leadership roles. The entire healthcare system is strained and requires change to serve a vastly diverse population with unique needs.
