Thank You for a Wonderful Yulefest
Thank you to our sponsors, adult and student volunteers, everyone who donated wine, the wineries who poured at the event, and Co-chairs Megan Hays '11 and Kody Betonte Thomas '02 - Yulefest was a great success due to your efforts and commitment!
The 500+ alumni, alumni parents, current families, and Falcon friends who attended enjoyed a wonderful community Christmas celebration, a fifty-six-year-old annual tradition started by the Christian Brothers the year La Salle opened its doors. Not only did everyone have a splendid holiday celebration, our host, the Alumni Association, raised more than $17,000 which will support La Salle and its students in the form of tuition assistance, scholarships, capital projects, and more. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back in 2023!

Internship Opportunities
OHSU has an internship program for Sophomore, Junior, and Senior high school students interested in pursuing careers in medicine or biomedical research through a 16-week course starting February 1 through May 17, 2023 from 6-8 PM. Students are introduced to the scientific process and gain access to research scientists from OHSU and other Portland research initiatives. Students will meet for two hours on Wednesdays for a lecture series and learn about ongoing research projects. A researcher will mentor each student. Each student gains first-hand knowledge of research methods, and, with their mentor's help, will present a published research article in a journal club format and develop their own research proposal.
You can find more information here. Applications for the 2023 program are open now and close on Friday, December 16.
