Summer is here

This week the campus became alive again with the start up of summer session classes, Hustlin’ Owl basketball camps and Pre-College activities.

Tonight is the kick-off dinner for the GRAD (Graduation Really Achieves Dreams) program going on this summer. Sophomores and juniors from Chiloquin High School will spend Monday through Thursdays on campus from July 17 until August 10. They will live in the Residence Hall and take two camping trips to Crater Lake National Park. Transportation is provided from Chiloquin to campus, and back, each week. The program is sponsored by GEAR UP, OIT, the National Council for Community and Educational Partnerships, AT&T and TransCanada.

These students will participate in a high altitude balloon launch, wildlife photography, water quality experiments, embedded programming, and research involving the Old Man in Crater Lake (a floating stump).

We are hoping that some of these young people will be future students at OIT.

Next week I’ve asked Valeree Lane to post some of my favorite photos of campus on this blog.

The weekend of July 16 and 17, as part of the Klamath Cruise vintage car show, there will be a sock hop here on campus. Please join the fun!

Have a safe and wonderful Fourth of July holiday.
