"I have just celebrated my 52nd birthday and can now celebrate the attainment of a life-long goal - a college education! I know there are many other students like me, people who for one reason or another must deal with life and may be unable to obtain an education in the traditional way. For them, as for me, your program and your wonderful representatives are, quite literally, the answer to our dreams!"

Extended Campus Oregon State University 4943 The Valley Library Corvallis, OR 97331 I want to thank you for coordinating a very valuable program and for selecting the most qualified professionals to implement it. As an older student, I found it necessary to leave OSU before actually completing the requirements for my Bachelor's Degree. I moved to Arizona to start a new business, build a new home, register for grad school and begin a new life! Taking distance courses was the only viable option for finishing my degree. To say that my overall experience was completely satisfactory would be to grossly understate my evaluation of OSU's Distance & Continuing Education program. Your expert staff was very helpful each time I called...helping to insure that all of my requirements were met and that I would graduate on time. I had a great time completing the courses and will graduate this term, thanks to your staff and Professor Birkes. His positive, professional sense of responsibility insured that I received first-class attention and immediate responses to my questions. Dr. Birkes obviously has a genuine interest in the success of his students. I have just celebrated my 52nd birthday and can now celebrate the attainment of a life-long goal - a college education! I know there are many other students like me, people who for one reason or another must deal with life and may be unable to obtain an education in the traditional way. For them, as for me, your program and your wonderful representatives are, quite literally, the answer to our dreams! Sheila Ford Class of 2000 summa cum laude graduate Surprise, Arizona
