Too often Central Oregon's higher education debate is entangled in what we cant do instead of what we can do.

Join Talk of the Town at Karnopp Petersen's Business 20/20 event this Friday, May 18, 2012 from 7:30-9:30am at the Tower Theatre in Bend.

Counter Intelligence: Unraveling Central Oregon's Higher Education Debate

How can we step up as a region? What is the role of our regional higher education institutions, COCC and OSU-Cascades?

Find out how Central Oregon can tap educational programs and build a competitive talent pool to fuel our economy and attract future employers. 

Key panelists join national expert, Dr. Lee Vickers, to share PROVEN case studies that have invigorated rural communities like Central Oregon. Q&A is available at the event and via the Twitter tag #kpbiz2020.
