This week’s Voices of Oregon Tech video series highlights how compassion, expertise, and partnership can expand access to vital care in our community. Meet Dr. Dawn Bailey, Associate Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences and Director of the BRIDGE Behavioral Health Clinic at Oregon Tech.

Big congratulations to our Oregon Tech Dental Hygiene students in Klamath Falls! On March 12, students presented their capstone projects, demonstrating their critical thinking and the application of their knowledge to patient care. This includes interprofessional collaboration, ethical decision-making, and diverse perspectives related to their patients’ special needs, and a reflection on future considerations. On March 13–14, Dental Hygiene hosted licensing board exams for restorative dentistry and clinical practice. Our students achieved a 100% pass rate on both exams!

Leadership in higher education is about more than administration—it’s about shaping futures. Dr.

Last Wednesday, Oregon Tech students pitched their business ideas at Shark Tech, gaining valuable feedback from local leaders and entrepreneurs.

DRIVE DAY This weekend we put our team of very talented drivers behind the wheel of our race car for the first time this year! Campus was alive with the roar of the engine and shouts of joy from our team members. The hardest part of the day was wiping the smiles off our faces when we got home.
