A MESSAGE FROM BECKY JOHNSON, VP for OSU CASCADES:
We are really looking forward to seeing the Provost’s Council in Bend for the PC retreat and grand opening of Tykeson Hall on our new campus! Everything is going really well, and on schedule, but things are pretty hectic with the move and making sure everything is operational. In an ordinary year, this period of time before classes start would be a time when we would have facilities available for Corvallis colleagues to schedule meetings over here. Unfortunately, we are unable to do that this year as we are literally moving in furniture and people, and testing technology.
Our Fall term is also going to be very tight for space, because four classrooms and additional meeting space in our Dining Hall will not be finished until December. We are getting lots of requests from our Corvallis colleagues to use rooms at OSU-Cascades for meetings in Bend, and unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate them this Fall. In January we would be happy to entertain requests for meeting space, depending on classroom and meeting room availability. And, of course, if you’re just in Bend for some other reason and want to visit, you’re always welcome.
OSRAA CH CH CH CH CHANGES!
