PENDLETON â As they look to reopen in the fall, colleges and universities are all trying to answer the question of whether to require their students to get their COVID-19 vaccinations before returning to the classroom.
Three of Oregonâs largest public universities answered affirmatively: Oregon State University, Portland State University and University of Oregon have all announced that students need to be fully vaccinated before returning to campus.
According to Casey White-Zollman, the communications director for the Oregon Community Colleges Association, none of the stateâs 17 community colleges have made a decision on vaccination requirements.
Although the decision isnât final, interim Blue Mountain Community College President Connie Green said BMCC is planning to let students return in the fall without their shots.

Anyway, ironically on April 1st. (Thursday) 2021, we got an email from a Louise Fleming who identified her self as being with the Pasco Awards Program, of Houston Texas. Hmmm. She said we were given the award based upon our marketing expertise.
