An Oregon Tech connection comes full circle in Finland!

While attending the ICT Summer School at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki, Oregon Tech students recently had an unexpected opportunity thanks to an Oregon Tech alumnus.

Kari Veikkolainen studied at Metropolia and spent a term as an exchange student at Oregon Tech nearly 20 years ago. After seeing on Oregon Tech's social media that a group of students was visiting Helsinki, he reached out to invite them to tour his workplace, Planmeca, a global Finnish company that develops medical imaging technology, dental equipment, software, and manufacturing systems.

On Wednesday, students Darren Troutman, Kai Teppo, and JD Lienhart joined Oregon Tech's Sonja Bickford for a behind-the-scenes visit to Planmeca's headquarters and showroom, where Kari is an Electronics Engineer and Software Designer. Students also had the opportunity to meet members of Planmeca's educational outreach team and learn about careers in technology, product development, and advanced manufacturing.

Kari shared stories from his time at Oregon Tech, including learning to snowboard with the Outdoor Program - which he still does!

We're grateful to Kari and the Planmeca team for their hospitality and for showing our students how an Oregon Tech education can lead to opportunities around the world. 🦉💙 Once an Owl, Always an Owl.

The great faculty and alumni of Oregon Tech's online Master of Science in Healthcare Leadership program have a new video explaining more about the program and how it helps professionals thrive in their leadership roles and incoming professionals learn more about how to be successful.

The program is unique in its focus on the big picture of our population’s health and the technical skills to help you thrive in leadership roles. The entire healthcare system is strained and requires change to serve a vastly diverse population with unique needs. For our future leaders and educators, it is critical to have leadership, research, teaching, and business skills to tackle new challenges.
