Oregon’s first lady Cylvia Hayes is scheduled to provide the commencement address at Oregon State University-Cascades in June, the university announced.

The Bend campus holds its 12th annual commencement exercise June 16. The ceremony is scheduled to be held at noon at the Les Schwab Amphitheater in the Old Mill District.

Hayes, who moved to Bend in 1997, built a career in sustainable economic development, clean energy, workforce development, green building and waste prevention, according to OSU. She served as a member and co-chair of the Oregon Renewable Energy Working Group, which developed the state Renewable Energy Standard, Renewable Fuels Standard, and other clean energy policies.

“Cylvia’s leadership in sustainability and her support of Central Oregon’s progress as a growing business community and great place for families to live, work, go to school and play is in keeping with our mission at OSU-Cascades,’” campus Vice President Becky Johnson was quoted by OSU.
