OGI School of Science and Engineering
The OGI School of Science and Engineering, located in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States was one of four schools at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). Until June 2001, it functioned independently as a private graduate school, the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology (OGI). OGI operated four departments and had approximately 330 students. In 2008, the school's name was changed to the Department of Science and Engineering and by 2010, the department was dissolved and the academic programs and research were disseminated to other OHSU institutes and departments.
== History ==
OGI was chartered in 1963 by the Oregon Legislature to provide graduate-level training and expertise to the state's rapidly expanding high-tech industry, including Silicon Forest companies. Tektronix co-founder Howard Vollum helped found OGI in 1965 with a $2 million grant, and upon his death in 1986, he bequeathed $14.8 million to the college as an endowment. The school started as the Oregon Graduate Center located on Barnes Road.〔Alexander, Paul. Oregon Graduate Center promotes scientific research for Northwest. ''The Hillsboro Argus'', October 19, 1976.〕 OGI’s first president was Donald Benedict who was selected for the position in 1966. In 1968, the school purchased on Walker Road near 185th Avenue in an unincorporated section of Washington County for a new campus.〔 That campus opened on August 15, 1969, complete with a dedication by Senator Mark Hatfield.〔
In 1988, the state recruited OGI to teach some classes for the Oregon Center for Advanced Technology Education.
During the 1990s the school awarded over one thousand graduate degrees, offered hundreds of continuing education seminars and workshops, and secured more than $100 million in largely federally funded research. In 2001, OGI merged with Oregon Health Sciences University, with OGI becoming the School of Science and Engineering and OHSU changing its name to become Oregon Health & Science University.〔Carter, Steven.

''The Oregonian'', February 23, 2001.〕 In 2006, the school began a seven-year process of relocating to OHSU's South Waterfront campus in Portland and sold part of its Hillsboro campus.〔Sickinger, Ted.
