TUALATIN, OR – The Alliance and its undergraduate private college and university members welcomed over 1,000 student visits during Oregon Private College Week July 25-29, 2022.

Campus visitation sessions were held concurrently on participating campuses at 9 a.m. and at 2 p.m., Monday through Friday, July 25-29.
The member campuses who participated include:
- Bushnell University
