˿����Ƶ Tech students traveled to Arizona this week to help install a new door on The Impossible Airplane sim before it heads to EAA AirVenture, an annual air show and gathering of aviation enthusiasts.

On this #FlashbackFriday, we fondly recall last Friday’s monument dedication that took place at the site of the original ˿����Ƶ Tech campus on Old Fort Road in Klamath Falls. ˿����Ƶ Tech was founded as the ˿����Ƶ Vocational School on July 14, 1947, to train and re-educate returning World War II veterans. Under the direction of Winston Purvine, the first classes were held in a deactivated Marine Corps hospital on Old Fort Road, three miles northeast of Klamath Falls.

"Being apart of TOP has given my educational journey the stability it needs. I have overcome so many adversities with the help of the staff and opportunities that lie within this program. To many, I’m just a student but, to TOP, I am a first generation, educated woman of color" (Leilani Vasquez). #ORTIO #grad #trioworks #oregontech #classof2023

At 42 years old, I've accomplished my lifelong dream of earning a bachelor's degree! Juggling multiple responsibilities, including occasional classes, full-time work, and being a single mom through most of it, I've learned that it's never too late to chase your aspirations or invest in education. Now, with my nights and weekends finally freed up, I'm excited to dedicate more time to the activities I adore and cherish precious moments with my loved ones.

˿����Ƶ Tech offices are closed on Monday, June 19th, in honor of Juneteenth. This weekend, we celebrated the Third Annual Juneteenth Celebration in Wilsonville. Thank you, Wilsonville, for inviting us to be part of this important event.
