Oregon Tech Board of Trustees
A Future of Possibilities
Oregon Tech’s Board of Trustees officially assumed governance of the university on July 1, 2015.
We welcome this impressive and diverse group of leaders from across the Northwest and from many fields of expertise: education, local government, high tech, healthcare, communications, and business. Their governance, guidance and advocacy for Oregon Tech ignites new possibilities in student support, fiscal health, academic program excellence, and areas that we haven’t yet imagined. Their leadership also holds the promise of extending our partnerships within our campus communities of Klamath Falls and Wilsonville.
Strategic Plan
Streaming will begin approximately two minutes prior to the meeting start time.
Watch the Board of Trustees Meetings
To make the board meetings more accessible to the public, the meetings will be live streamed and recorded, allowing you to view them from your computer while the meeting is underway or at a later date.
While every effort is made to provide this service to the community, there is no guarantee that the service will work in every instance. Remote computers vary in their operating system, internet connection type and speed, and hardware/software capabilities. We will do our best to keep you connected and informed.
