Teacher Institutes
Oregon Humanities no longer offers summer teacher institutes. We are proud of this program’s seventeen years of service to Oregon secondary school teachers throughout the state and are grateful to our generous funders and outstanding participants for their support.
Become an Idea Lab Fellow
Moving forward, we will continue to serve Oregon teachers through Idea Lab (formerly Happy Camp: Summer Honors Symposium), founded in 2006, where Oregon teens and teachers gather at the University of Portland each summer for a weekend exploration of the pursuit of happiness.
Program History
Between 1995 and 2011, OH summer teacher institutes served nearly 350 Oregon teachers, who in turn offered enhanced interdisciplinary curriculum and critical thinking skills to more than 50,000 middle and high school students throughout the state. If you have questions about past institutes, please contact Director of Programs Jennifer Allen at (503) 241-0543 ext. 118 or by email.

Commentary
I have been attending Arts and Lectures almost since the beginning, and am very interested in this next phase of Oregon Humanities. I am a teacher in the Portland District. Is there somewhere to learn more about how teachers (or anyone)can get involved with OH?
