I recently chatted with a student who will likely attend EOU. What she shared with me shows the myriad factors that go into such a decision: “This is a big decision. To me, EOU is the only college or university that has all that I am looking for, those attributes being: affordable, in a small town, low student to teacher ratio, an advanced science program, high acceptance rates to medical school, a high quality gym, inviting staff, apartment style dorms, not more than a few hours away from my family, hopefully the ability to accommodate my food restrictions (or options close by), and a disc golf course on or near campus.”
Sounds like we dreamed up this campus just to serve this prospective student! I’m hopeful she’ll be successful here and she finds the support she needs. You can see how difficult it is to make this decision and the types of students we attract.
In addition to attracting new students, our faculty and staff have been doing some incredible work. Here’s a glimpse:
As usual, I’ve been in a variety of meetings with folks across the state and right here on campus. I went to Salem to meet with legislators and the public university presidents. While in the west, I met some donors and held a foundation meeting in Portland. Right here in town, I met with Sarah Marcotte, LGMSD Director and Caitlin Harrold, UC Chamber of Commerce to advance our partnerships in the community. On campus, I had a fun time at the screen printing event hosted by Susan Murrell and her art students and also got a chance to welcome high school students from the region at the third annual Foreign Language Activity Day hosted by the Spanish Department, Early College Initiatives, and the Admissions office. We also had great events demarcating International Women’s Day, and I attended the International Women’s Day Brunch. I enjoyed listening to Professor Nicole Howard’s history students’ presentations about Hot Lake Springs Resort. I’ve been meeting with our strategy team co-chairs and am really excited about the work. I got a tour of our student health center and met with our amazing staff there. And perhaps most personally newsworthy, I’m out of my boot and now in an ankle brace. HOORAY!!
Keep up the incredible work EOU – I am so proud!!
