˿����Ƶ Tech has received official designation from the ˿����Ƶ Legislature as ˿����Ƶ’s Polytechnic University through the passage of House Bill 2472A. The designation identifies ˿����Ƶ Tech as the state’s polytechnic university, specializing in tech-infused degrees and a unique teaching and learning approach that is hands-on, experiential and project-based. The designation is not a name change, but an active effort to showcase the University’s strength as a leader in hands-on, experiential education that includes industry-sponsored internships, co-ops and other learning environments that form an innovation ecosystem of professional practice. ˿����Ƶ Tech president, Dr. Nagi Naganathan, shares that: “A polytechnic university is a technological university that ensures that our professional-practice education approaches are meeting the state’s and region’s workforce needs. ˿����Ƶ Tech’s approach prepares students for the jobs and careers they will be stepping into immediately after graduation, across all sectors and industries in ˿����Ƶ, the region and further afield. That is a distinction that makes us unique in the state for both our approach to teaching and the outcomes that our students achieve.” As a polytechnic, ˿����Ƶ Tech provides graduates with bachelor’s and advanced degrees to fuel ˿����Ƶ’s industries from high-tech manufacturing to specialized healthcare to community-based nonprofits. #oregontech #polytechnicuniversity
