We at OTET are dedicated to nurture scholars who will contribute to society by advancing knowledge and imparting it to new generations of students. Society is changing rapidly in ways which will have a profound impact on the role of OTET. The challenge – shared – is to help to generate intellectual property which will create new jobs and to educate and train people to work in field where they will be valued both for their specialized knowledge and for their ability to research, communicate and solve problems. Key to meeting these challenges is the need to build on the alliances and collaborative partnerships the OTET will help to ensure the ongoing relevance of our academic programs and the continued excellence of our teaching, learning and research.

Our challenge for the future is to build on this strong base to establish ourselves firmly among the world’s leading Organizations. As we create a supportive and challenging campus environment that enhances students personal and social growth, and helps develop personal resources needed to succeed in college and beyond. I hope you will support us in the Endeavour.
