Martha Anne Dow, President of the Oregon Institute of Technology, passed away Saturday after a six-month battle with breast cancer.
Dow became the college’s fifth president in May 1998 after serving as OIT provost and vice president of Academic Affairs for six years.
Dow also acted as vice president of Academic Affairs at Montana State University-Northern, her own alma mater, from 1990 to 1992. She taught biology and environmental science courses for more than 25 years.
“Dr. Dow’s dedication to raising the aspirations of Oregon students to attend college reflected her unwavering belief in every person’s ability to grow, learn, and give back to their communities,” Gov. Ted Kulongoski said in a released statement. “She will remain for us always a heroine of educational advancement and a true Oregon treasure.”
