Duncan Wyse President, Oregon Business Council Duncan Wyse has been president of the Oregon Business Council since 1995. OBC is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization whose members are principally chief executives at some of Oregon’s largest enterprises. OBC focuses the knowledge and resources of its members on key, long-range public policy issues facing Oregon, such as economic development, education, health care, transportation, and public finance. OBC has launched many statewide initiatives, including the Oregon Business Plan and Oregon Learns. Duncan also serves as the executive director of the Oregon Business Council Charitable Institute.

Prior to OBC, Mr. Wyse was executive director of the Oregon Progress Board, a state agency where he developed Oregon Shines, Oregon’s long-range strategy for economic growth, and Oregon Benchmarks, indicators measuring how Oregon is doing as a people, place, and economy. Previously, he spent eight years at the California Public Utilities Commission, serving as advisor to the president and Director for Policy and Planning.

Mr. Wyse currently serves on the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC) and All Hands Raised Leadership Council. His previous awards include the Governor’s Gold Award (to the Oregon Business Council); Howard Cherry Award, Outstanding Community College Advocate (from Oregon Community College Association); Sustainable Business Leadership Award; and the Innovations in Government Award (from Harvard’s Kennedy School and the Ford Foundation to the Oregon Progress Board).

Mr. Wyse earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pomona College and a Master of Arts in Business Administration from Stanford University. He grew up in Portland and is married with three children.

Carol Dahl, Ph.D. Executive Director, The Lemelson Foundation Dr. Carol Dahl is the executive director of The Lemelson Foundation and leads the Foundation’s work to use the power of invention to improve lives. The Foundation inspires and enables the next generation of inventors and invention-based enterprises to promote economic growth and address critical challenges in the U.S., and to help solve social and economic problems for the poorest populations in low- and middle-income countries. In Oregon, the Foundation works to enhance the invention and innovation ecosystem through support to invention education programs reaching students in K12 through higher education, as well as the innovation pathway for emerging entrepreneurs.

Before joining the Foundation, Dr. Dahl was founding director of the Global Health Discovery Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and led development of the Grand Challenges in Global Health and Grand Challenges Explorations programs, innovation programs which have been replicated in countries around the world. Previously, Dr. Dahl worked at the U.S. National Institutes of Health at the National Cancer Institute and National Center for Human Genome Research, at a startup diagnostics company, and on the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh. She has advised and supported programs across government agencies including the Department of Commerce (Advanced Technology Program), DARPA, NASA and Department of Energy. She received a bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa and master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Wisconsin.

Dr. Dahl currently is chair of the Nomination Evaluation Committee for the National Medal of Technology and Innovation; commissioner on the National Commission on Innovation and Competitiveness Frontiers of the Council on Competitiveness; a member of the Oregon Futures Commission; chair of the Program Advisory Committee for Grand Challenges Canada; and a member of the Advisory Board for the Fogarty International Center at the National Institutes of Health.

Graduating Speakers Walker M. York Accounting; Most Dedicated Student Award, Outstanding Scholar, and President’s Senior Cup Walker hails from Grants Pass, Oregon, with college credits from Rogue Community College earned while at Hidden Valley High School. From his first days on campus in fall 2018, through his final year, Walker was very active in the student experience while excelling academically and completing his degree in only three years.

Walker’s involvement on campus and beyond has been significant in many ways. Walkers’ dedication to assisting other students is evident through his work as a Peer Consultant (tutor), TOP tutor and Supplemental Instructor for accounting classes. Walker also served as the event planner for the Campus Activities Board and as a Business Ambassador in support of the Management department. This year, Walker was also a member of Oregon Tech’s team that competed in the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) national student case study which placed in the Elite 8 (and currently waiting for final announcement of this year’s winners).

Academically, Walker has certainly excelled with only one B in three years! He was selected as the Outstanding Scholar for his major and the President’s Senior Cup, the highest academic award, plus the Most Dedicated Student Award this year. His high academic marks and personality landed him an internship last summer at Interfor (a lumber company) in Port Angeles, Washington, where he made such an impression that he was offered a full-time position upon graduation (and he accepted it). Interfor has agreed to pay for Walker’s graduate education in the coming year.

Perhaps with perhaps a little more free time in his future, Walker can do more of the things he loves: hiking, playing Frisbee, and shooting hoops. Graduating Speakers (cont.)

Christian Gomez Biology-Health Sciences and Chemistry minor; Student Achievement Award; Outstanding Scholar; President’s Senior Cup Christian moved to Klamath Falls from Sherwood, Oregon, after graduating from Sherwood High School in 2017, with all of his math requirements (through Math 252) and various AP science classes completed. As a pre-med student, Christian focused not only on his academic success but also on serving other students and his community. Christian was accepted into the Oregon Tech Honors Program in 2018, which fostered his inner curiosity and academic success.

Academically, Christian excelled in his classes (only one B in four years) and was awarded the Outstanding Scholar for his major. Christian is also this year’s recipient of the Student Achievement Award and the President’s Senior Cup. Christian was a key contributor on a team that worked on neuroscience research project involving rats, which was also selected to be presented at the Western Regional Honors Conference in April. Christian served as a teaching assistant for the Organic Chemistry courses where he hosted study sessions, tutored, assisted with labs, and graded assignments, quizzes and labs.

Christian also served as president of the Biology-Health Sciences Club this year and even through the virtual interactions, led the group to make 84 full-size blankets for High Desert Hospice and they received a volunteer excellence award for their work. Christian and another student spent this year to get a student chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta, the National Pre-health Honors Society, established at Oregon Tech, which will be the first chapter in Oregon.

Christian plans take some time to apply to medical school with a start date of fall, 2022, where he will strive to be a passionate pediatrician and to continue to serve his community.

Josie Page Hanel Population Health Management; Outstanding Scholar Josie is from Lakeview, Oregon, and came to Oregon Tech in 2018 after transferring from Linn Benton Community College, where she completed prerequisites for a Medical Imaging Technology program. Josie changed her major from MIT and found her passion in the Population Health Management program, where she can “give back to healthcare” in response to her surviving cancer.

Josie’s interest in helping others is immediately evident by her smile (which is always present) and her ever-present positive attitude. Josie’s campus involvement includes being an active member of Kappa Xi Alpha sorority and participating in many campus and community service events. Josie also served as an officer in the Associated Students of Oregon Institute of Technology (ASOIT; student government) this year. Josie also held an internship with the Population Health Management Research Center and worked on a suicide prevention program for a primary medical care setting.

As a first-generation college student, Josie attributes her success to the support of her parents, grandparents, TOP advisors and her faculty members. Josie’s perseverance and desire to push through failure to be a stronger student is truly evident in being named the Outstanding Scholar for her major!

Josie’s future plans include beginning her career as a patient coordinator for an oncology department, with her sights on a management position eventually, while also fulfilling her dreams to travel the world. Student Awards (Klamath Falls)
