Foundation

The Oregon Tech Foundation surpassed a historic milestone this year, awarding $1,030,000 in scholarships to Oregon Tech students. The new record was celebrated Oct. 29 as participants gathered at the Klamath Falls campus and live-streamed to a gathering at the Portland-Metro campus for the Annual Scholarship Awards Banquet.

The Oregon Tech Foundation Board recently welcomed two new members, Annette Cole, a 1986 graduate of Nursing, and Daniel Withers, a 1970 Electrical Engineering graduate.
The Oregon Tech Foundation Board of Directors is comprised of alumni, community members, and business and industry professionals. The Board counsels the Foundation in supporting Oregon Tech’s educational, cultural, charitable, and service activities.

Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) faculty and staff members were welcomed back Sept. 20 with convocation events, including award presentations and preparation for the start of Fall Term.

An Oregon Institute of Technology faculty and student research team has been awarded a $1M federal grant to better understand the impact of poor air quality in Southern Oregon and to help hospitals prepare for capacity burdens that affect their operations. This grant is one of the largest research awards the university has received in support of interdisciplinary research.

Thank you to our generous donors for making the construction of the Center for Excellence in Engineering and Technology possible through the Oregon Tech Foundation’s Campaign for the Future. We were honored to recognize many of our distinguished supporters during the special CEET ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 1, 2022.
