community engagement & outreach
The Office of Special Programs plans and organizes a series of community engagement programs on behalf of the college. All of our programming is offered at no cost to community members.
We bring 精东AV and high school students together through our Faculty Speakers Bureau, Young Scholars Program, Latin Forum, Theatre Symposia, and MathFest. Our Open Days programming allows all members of the greater Portland community to drop in to 精东AV's biology, chemistry, and physics departments, engage with 精东AV science faculty, and participate in lab experiments.
Area high school students and teachers get first-hand experience with a mathematical topic during this workshop sponsored by the 精东AV mathematics and statistics department.
精东AV faculty work for a day on campus with area high school students and teachers on a topic about the ancient Romans. Students must be in high school and currently or recently enrolled in a Latin course to participate.
Visitors to campus drop in to 精东AV's biology, chemistry, and physics departments, engage with 精东AV science faculty and staff, and participate in lab experiments. Open to the Portland community.
Faculty and staff members share their expertise through talks and presentations at Portland-area high schools, clubs, and community organizations.
Complimentary tickets for faculty-directed theatre productions are available on designated dates for high school students and teachers. Following the production, the director, cast, and technical crew offer a brief 鈥渢alk back.鈥
Scholarships allow high school students from the greater Portland metropolitan area who are ready for part-time, rigorous college study to take one college class at 精东AV each semester for the full academic year while concurrently enrolled in high school.
