1. The United States is set to begin welcoming vaccinated international travelers next month, which could be good news for Washington County. The Washington County Visitors Association shared data showing that 2019 pre-COVID tourism brought $31.9 million to the region in Visa transactions alone. The change is set to go into effect November 8.
2. The vaccine mandate arrived Monday with little impact on many Oregon and Washington school districts. Audrey Weil reports that Beaverton and other Metro area districts achieved high staff vaccination rates ahead of the October 18 deadline— 95 percent or higher. The result is that most services continue to be fully staffed. (KPTV.com)
3. Portland Community College is set to play a key role in nationwide cybersecurity. The organization has been chosen to co-lead the National Cybersecurity Task Force with Towson University, an effort that includes $2.2 million in grant money. A key function of the project is to increase the cybersecurity workforce. Because of the PCC's commitment to cybersecurity, it has been designated by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense.
