OSU signs Degree Partnerships with two Hawaii community colleges
Posted October 3rd, 2006 by BlakeOn September 25th, OSU inked Degree Partnerships with Hawaii Community College (Hilo) and Leeward Community College (Honolulu). OSU President Ed Ray was joined in the ceremony by Rockne Freitas, chancellor of Hawaii Community College, and Peter Quigley, chancellor of Leeward Community College, as well as delegations from both Hawaii schools.
“This begins to speak to democracy in higher education. This gives students open access and support,” said Freitas, also an OSU alumnus and well known as the center on the university’s 1965 Rose Bowl team and a subsequent NFL standout for the Detroit Lions. “It’s a powerful option for us.”
“This gives students cultural and geographic diversity,” Quigley said. “There has been a good tradition between OSU and Hawaiian students, and this will make the transition easier for them.”
