Drive with caution when deer are near EOU, BMCC continue joint bachelor's program Eastern Oregon University and Blue Mountain Community College announce the continuation of a joint baccalaureate degree program in business economics to be delivered within the BMCC service area. The program is a part of the Eastern Oregon Collaborative Colleges Center (EOCCC). "Principles of Management" BA 321, will be offered this fall beginning September 29. Dr. Ted Atkinson of Eastern will teach this core business program course for five credits that will meet six to seven times throughout the term on Wednesday evenings from 5-9 p.m. at BMCC in Pendleton. According to Deborah Lee, director of Eastern's Umatilla/Morrow Regional Center, "The Business/Econonics degree program is designed for persons who are place-bound in the Umatilla/Morrow county area. These persons desire to complete a degree in business/economics but cannot travel to EOU in La Grande to finish the final two years of the degree program after obtaining BMCC's business transfer associate's degree. This program offers a solution to this challenge." Students entering the program will complete the business degree transfer program through BMCC. The remainder of the program will be delivered by Eastern through distance education. Transfer students from other colleges and universities are also good candidates for the program. The courses will be offered via a number of delivery formats including traditional classes 676-9211 Desert Arts Council to present Rogers tribute The one-man show, "Lance Brown's Tribute to Will Rogers" will be presented at the Hermiston Community Center on Saturday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for DAC members and $5 for students. "Lance Brown's Tribute to Will Rogers" is a journey into the American experience. Actor/ musician Lance Brown plays and sings cowboy songs and Roaring 20s music as a backdrop to Rogers’ life story. "He moves in and out o f character, making Rogers accessible to audience members o f all ages, to one moment he is a historian and storyteller and in the next he is the rope-twirling cowboy philosopher himself," said a release. Brown has traveled the country performing his tribute for over a decade. Drawing on these experiences, in 1997 he wrote a book entitled, "On the Road with Will Rogers.” In it he chronicles how Will Rogers' wit and wisdom still connect with us today. Will Rogers was bom in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) in 1879. He came from a life rooted the in the Old West and became one of the most prominent citizens of his day. Noted for his gentle humor and homespun philosophy, Rogers skewered the rich and powerful and they loved him for it.
