Oregon Institute of Technology

The Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) is a small, public university located in Southern Oregon. It has about 5,000 students and over 40 degree programs. It has an extremely impressive student success rate of 96% and the average salary for graduates is over $60,000 just six months after graduation.

I worked at the Oregon Institute of Technology for 5 years as a member of their Marketing and Public Relations department (MarCoPa). During those 5 years, I helped to manage the website and acted as a support liaison between faculty, staff, and students and the Marketing department.
