WHO WE ARE
Welcome to the ORTOP FIRST Robotics Oregon Alumni Association! We are a supportive community of FIRST alumni who want to give back in some way, shape or form, and we strive to provide volunteering, mentoring, career and professional development, social, and educational opportunities to our alumni. Started in January 2017 by an alumna (makes sense right?) who also serves on the ORTOP Board of Directors, we have grown to 150+ members!
MEMBERSHIP
If you are a FIRST alumni or recent high school graduate, please fill out our Alumni Database Form to stay involved! It takes less than 2 minutes to sign up.
- Eligibility info is listed in the form.
- No fee or time commitment is required.
- Majoring in a STEM (science/technology/math/engineering) is also NOT required.
VISION
The vision of the Alumni Association is to connect alumni with each other, share experiences and wisdom, and help younger FIRST students see how moving through the FIRST pipeline of programs will empower these students to follow whatever career path they choose.
Long-term, the hope is that some of our alumni may end up serving on ORTOP’s Board of Directors, or as experienced Tournament Directors, Head Judges and Referees, or as amazing Coaches and Mentors.
