Oregon’s Polytechnic University

“I heard that comparison is the thief of joy, but I didn’t understand it until college. Among students, comparing grades and test scores is normal. While I recognize the reassurance it might bring, I’ve also realized it’s an incomplete picture of someone’s effort or potential. Everyone’s journey is shaped uniquely—some grades come from stable environments, others from sleepless nights. Regardless, we all aim for growth, and the journey and the mistakes we make along the way are the best experiences one can get in life.”

“My greatest learning experience thus far at OIT, outside of the excellent learning environment provided by administration and the various professors I have been lucky to have to have had, I would have to say would be the amazing opportunity to be able to play for one of Oregon Tech's athletic teams.”

“The greatest learning experience I’ve had at Oregon Tech has been through the Honors Program. The Honors Program has taught me to think deeply about the ideas that make up our world; how abstract ideas shape concrete reality and how that impacts the way we view life.”
