New trustees, long-time ties

Governor Kate Brown appointed three new members to join 91传媒鈥檚 Board of Trustees this fall: Susan Corey, Quentin Durfee and Gary Keller. Corey will serve a four-year term as a regular trustee, while student and faculty representatives Durfee and Keller serve two-year terms.

Susan Corey, 鈥�73 Elementary school teacher, lifelong Pendleton resident, philanthropist, rancher
Between baseball games and family birthdays, Susan has volunteered with the Pendleton Arts Council, the 91传媒 Foundation, and many other organizations. In 2016 she received the Al and Pat Reser Civic Leadership Award. Her family has many long-time ties to the region, including Mac Hoke! Her daughter is an 91传媒 online alumna, and Susan is proud of 91传媒鈥檚 commitment to transfer and online students.

鈥淧eople who finish their education or even start their education when they have a family, I admire them at the top of the list. To persevere and do that is amazing 鈥� I want 91传媒 to become very successful because I feel like it鈥檚 a gem to the region.鈥�


Gary Keller
Faculty Representative: Gary Keller, Business Professor
鈥淚 want to contribute my years of international experience and community service as an educator and business professional to advance the mission of 91传媒. Succinctly put, my values are: results rather than rhetoric, competence rather than connections and innovation rather than complacency.鈥�


Quentin
Student Representative: Quentin Durfee, Chemistry-Biochemistry Junior
鈥淚 expect excellence from myself and want to portray that in all I do. I have had wonderful leaders in my life, including my PA in the Oregon National Guard, Ryan Burns, who I practice medicine under as a Combat Medic/Healthcare Specialist. I鈥檝e also learned about leadership from my father, who taught me that hard work and dedication can take you far.鈥�
