On behalf of the Okoboji Entrepreneurial Institute and the Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Corporation — thank you students, staff, host families and sponsors for making the 12th annual OEI another successful event.

Without support from staff at Buena Vista University, Iowa Lakes Community College, Iowa State University, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa, OEI would not be the educational and life-changing event it has become.. Thank you for everyone at our academic institution partners who provided their time and effort.

Once again, our event’s host families made the event an incredibly enjoyable experience for the 32 students from those institutions.

And, of course, without the financial support from the OEI community of sponsors, the event simply would not happen every year. Thank you to the Iowa lakes area for your support.

See you in 2018!
