This year, the ˿����Ƶ Tech Foundation awarded $1,020,000 in scholarships to students—a $1 million milestone that’s been surpassed for three years in a row! 🎉 The Annual Scholarship Awards Banquet on October 26 brought students and supporters together on the Klamath Falls campus to celebrate scholarship recipients and recognize the donors who make these opportunities possible. For the 2024-25 academic year, the Foundation awarded 324 scholarships ranging from $285 to $16,000.

˿����Ƶ Tech hosted 140 junior high, high school, and college students on Oct. 25 for Ready, Set, Innovate, a hands-on event focused on entrepreneurial and innovative thinking to solve real community issues. Participants worked with community mentors, learning creative problem-solving in team settings. They tackled two real-world challenges: increasing youth opportunities in the area and attracting young professionals to the community. Students applied design-thinking techniques, which focus on solving problems based on the needs of "users" rather than data trends or intuition.

🦉 Thankful Thursday at ˿����Ƶ Tech! Every Thursday this month, join us for Thankful Thursday, where we’ll share short videos from students about faculty members who’ve made a big impact. These stories highlight the dedication, mentorship, and support that help make ˿����Ƶ Tech unique. Today we're shining a light on excellence with Professor Riley Richards.

Eight of Klamath’s most historic and influential women - including ˿����Ƶ Tech's fifth president, Dr. Martha Anne Dow - have their likenesses displayed in downtown Klamath Falls as part of Healthy Klamath’s Alleyway Activation Project. Artist & elementary educator Ashley Spivey was inspired to paint Dr. Dow because of Spivey's life-changing experience as a student at ˿����Ƶ Tech during Dr. Dow’s tenure as President of the university. Thank you, @starrynightstudio and Healthy Klamath - A Certified Blue Zones Community for honoring Dr. Dow at this Alleyway Activation Project.
