LA GRANDE, Ore. – Eastern Oregon University’s Board of Trustees convened for its final meeting of the academic year on May 20, covering a range of topics from new degree programs to ongoing pandemic response.
Trustees recognized outgoing Student Trustee Brittney Nia Hamilton and welcomed a new student member, Cedric Riel, who will serve through June 2022. Former Chair of the Board and retired senator David Nelson was awarded the university’s first-ever Award for Meritorious Service, for five years of “dedicated leadership and exceptional service to the board and the university.” Nelson will receive the award publicly during EOU’s Commencement Ceremony next month.
