EOU named college of distinction
Innovative application
of high impact educa-
tional practices has earned
Eastern Oregon Univer-
sity recognition among
the nation’s “Colleges of
Distinction.”
The listing appears in
the new 2016-17 Colleges
of Distinction Guidebook.
Innovative learning oppor-
tunities at EOU and other
top schools across the
country are highlighted in
the publication, available
September 6 in digital and
print editions.
“Eastern Oregon
University is once again
honored to receive national
recognition as a ‘College
of Distinction,’” said Sarah
Witte, EOU provost. “We
have a proud history of
providing access, opportu-
nity and inclusive excel-
lence to traditional and
adult learners on campus
and at a distance.”
To be included, schools
must demonstrate results
across four distinctions:
engaged students, great
teaching, vibrant com-
munities and successful
outcomes.
High school counselors
and educators make nomi-
nations, and each school is
evaluated on key indicators
including student engage-
ment, student empow-
erment and curricular
innovation.
Colleges that have distin-
guished themselves in each
of the four distinctions and
have demonstrated dedica-
tion to enriching student
outcomes through innova-
tive learning opportunities
are then invited to join
Colleges of Distinction.
“We’re so happy to
award EOU for developing
skills relevant to graduates’
lives,” said Tyson Schrit-
ter, executive editor for
Colleges of Distinction.
“High student engage-
ment in college is one of
the keys to a successful
undergraduate education.
With an increasing empha-
sis on hands-on learning
techniques, Colleges of
Distinction applauds EOU
for practicing methodolo-
gies that prepare students
for their futures.”
The annual selection
process also includes a
review of each institution’s
freshman experience,
general education program,
strategic plan, and alumni
success and satisfaction
measures.
“Colleges of Distinction
is more than an annual
ranking of colleges and
universities,” Schritter
added. “We only include
colleges that offer every
student a holistic and valu-
able experience, and have
earned solid reputations for
serving their students and
nurturing success. Like
EOU, our member schools
provide the affi rming
undergraduate experience
every student deserves.”
