Interviewer Elizabeth Thorley organizes the interviews chronologically, by beginning with questions about the interviewees early lives and childhoods and concluding with the climate change projects they are currently working on. Not only are the interviews an excellent resource for anyone studying climate change, but they also contain entertaining anecdotes about the lives of staff, students, and faculty at OSU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"http:\/\/scarc.library.oregonstate.edu\/omeka\/exhibits\/show\/climatevoices\/item\/31756\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10804\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/ecologue\/files\/2018\/07\/Capture-300x133.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2114\/files\/2018\/07\/Capture-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2114\/files\/2018\/07\/Capture-768x341.png 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2114\/files\/2018\/07\/Capture.png 967w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oregon State University Sustainability Officer Brandon Trelstad made an appearance on Voices of a Warming Planet, because much of his environmental sustainability work is focused on minimizing OSU\u2019s contribution to global climate change and mitigating the consequences of climate change as they affect OSU. Brandon\u2019s interview touches on topics such as growing up in Salem, Oregon, working for the Government Relations Office as an undergraduate student at OSU, pioneering the Sustainability Officer position, evolution of the Sustainability Officer position, OSU\u2019s climate plan, divestment from fossil fuel industries, student engagement, and much more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oral History Program at the OSU Libraries Special Collections and Archives Research Center presents Voices of a Warming Planet, an oral history series about climate change.
