Essay Requirements & Instructions (Essays must be a minimum of 250 and maximum of 500 words).

There are many unique rural communities in Eastern Oregon. They can be described by their geography, population size, and proximity to the mountains and outdoors. But communities are also about shared interests, actions, practices, or circumstances. We belong to many communities: teams, bands, clubs, neighborhoods, religious, cultural or heritage groups; any collection of people. We want to know about one of the communities to which you belong and how it’s impacted your decision to pursue a career in outdoor recreation and/or tourism.

Choose from 1 of the 3 following essay prompts: *

• How has your community impacted your decision to pursue outdoor recreation and/or tourism as a future career path?
• How do you see outdoor recreation and/or tourism as a tool to improve rural communities in Eastern Oregon?
• How would you expand access to outdoor recreation activities in your community to those who might not have the means to participate?
