The College of Science highlights successes from 2017-18 from groundbreaking research on ocean acidification and earthquake forecasting to dangers affecting coral reefs.

Congratulations to these science faculty and administrators who received 2018 Faculty and Staff Awards for administrative and research excellence!

The College of Science awarded 38 SURE Science awards of $5,500 to each student to conduct summer research in 2018.

The inaugural ART:SCI Lecture, “Venn pirouettes: Changing the way the world sees math” by painter Michael Schultheis will be held October 24, 2018.

OSU has launched a new mentoring program to strengthen faculty and students relationships, with the goal of improving student retention and graduation rates.

What is the common denominator between isolating strawberry DNA, building Knex vehicles, spalting wood and probing sea anemone symbiosis?

Math, physics and nuclear engineering senior Jesse Rodriguez isn’t your average student by most measures. A transfer student, Rodriguez enjoyed an incredible and wide-ranging learning experience where his classes in the different subjects led him to many wonderful insights about the deeper connections among his majors, and ultimately to a more solid understanding of science itself. He was one of just 26 students in 2018 to earn a prestigious Department of Energy fellowship that will pay for his Ph.D. at Stanford University to study plasma physics.

The College of Science congratulates 20 faculty on receiving promotions and/or tenure for the 2017-18 academic year.

Twelve science faculty are being honored for 25 or more years of service to the OSU at its 25 Year Club Dinner on May 22, 2018.

Science programs have guided the evolution of research and education at OSU since its 1868 land grant designation.

Oregon State’s online and on campus environmental sciences bachelor program is setting high standards for excellence.

Science at Oregon State University has been a trailblazer since OSU's designation as a land-grant college in 1868.
