Dear Friends, 

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Oregon Tech Foundation, thank you for your generosity and your belief in Oregon Tech. Your support makes it possible for students to learn by doing, overcome barriers, and graduate prepared to lead, innovate, and serve. This annual report reflects not only the accomplishments of the past year, but what you made possible through your partnership.

It has been my privilege to serve as President of the Oregon Tech Foundation Board. During my time in this role, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of philanthropy in students’ lives. I was drawn to Oregon Tech by its unwavering commitment to hands-on, applied education—an approach that prepares students not only for careers, but for meaningful lives of impact. Oregon Tech students don’t just study problems—they solve them—and that practical, purpose-driven approach continues to inspire my service.

Your investment empowers individuals, advances health and technological innovations, and ensures Oregon Tech remains responsive to workforce and community needs across Oregon and beyond.

Thank you for your continued trust, leadership, and commitment to Oregon Tech. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and for all you do to help students turn potential into lasting impact.

With gratitude,

Alan Polaski
President, Oregon Tech Foundation Board of Directors
