00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000
Thank you so much for joining us for this ribbon cutting.

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.000
It's actually our one year anniversary.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
And I think in many ways this building symbolizes 

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.000
what Western Oregon University is all about is

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000
providing education to the constituents we are here to serve.

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Western Oregon University is really close here to Salem

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000
which makes it an ideal partner in developing

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.000
and supporting education in the local community. 

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.000
We have a number of degree completion options for adults who

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000
may have started college, done some college at some point

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.000
and are ready to come for a degree.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.000
We are really excited to be in this community

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.000
and to serve this community, to learn more about it and what the needs are.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.000
And to be here for many years to come. (applause)
