A Message from President Peters

Dear Community,Man taking a selfie with a large crowd behind him

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of participating in the Fiesta Mexicana parade in Woodburn. It was an honor to walk alongside alumna Teresa Alonso León and her family, strengthening our relationships in the area while connecting with so many of our students and alumni.

Additionally, this month we welcomed a delegation from Wenzao University in Taiwan, alongside Representative Paul Evans and representatives from Southern Oregon University, Eastern Oregon University, and Oregon Institute of Technology. We celebrated our shared commitment to creating opportunities for student exchange, joint research, and Mandarin language programs.

We. Are. Wolves.
