LA GRANDE, Ore. – At the helm of Eastern Oregon University’s College of Business, Ed Henninger found opportunity to express himself creatively while staying close to home this year.
Henninger, dean of the College of Business, fine-tuned and published a chapter book titled, “Finish the Four or Be No More” based on stories he invented to entertain his own daughters.
“I used to tell [stories] while traveling to and from school, athletic events and other activities,” Henninger said. “Inevitably once on the road, I’d predictively get a, ‘Dad tell us a story.’ To this recurring request, I found great enjoyment in conjuring up a new or continued story, all filled with thrills and chills and always featuring my two girls as initially victims, but ultimately heroines.”
ELGIN â If the Boise Cascade plywood plant in Elgin closes this year, it could cost Eastern Oregon 446 jobs, nearly $21 million in labor income and more than $78 million in economic output within a year.
Thatâs according to an economic impact analysis conducted by the Eastern Oregon Center for Economic Information, a division of the Eastern Oregon University College of Business.
âThe reason I wanted to do something on this is really just to bring people to the table so that they can figure something out, because it would be catastrophic for our region,â said Scott McConnell, an economics professor at EOU who led the forecasting project.
