The First week of September a contractor, Reed’s Painting, will be in refinishing the wood on the Monroe Street Entrance and the Gilbert/Weniger parking lot Entrance.

Details:

I am interested in hearing from students and professionals in a STEM field (whether they have started their own business or not), current new-business owners, or people who would you like to be, and anyone who has experience in starting their own business.   I’m trying to reach as many people as possible, male or female, young or no longer young, etc.

It should only take 10 minutes to complete.  There is no cost for participating, and upon completing the survey respondents are eligible for a $100 Amazon gift card.

All personal information will be stripped from the final dataset.  Participants will not be contacted by NewOak Consulting unless they specifically agree (opt in) to participate in future surveys or focus groups. Participation in this survey is voluntary, and respondents have the right to withdraw from participation at any time without penalty.

Please contact the investigator through NewOak Consulting  with any questions regarding this survey.

Colleagues,

Registration for the 2018 Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium is now open!

This symposium, hosted by the OSU Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and the Arts, provides undergraduates with an excellent opportunity to showcase their research or creative activity. OSU undergraduates in all years of study, all academic disciplines, and all stages of research or creative work are eligible to present. Students will be able to choose whether they would like to present a poster and/or a 3-minute lightning talk. We also invite students with artistic/creative projects and distance students to reach out so we can do our best to accommodate other presentation types.

We appreciate your help forwarding this email to students you think may be interested. The deadline for registering is August 21^stat 11:59pm and the event will be held on the morning and afternoon of Thursday, September 13^th (exact time and location to follow).

The Office of the Registrar is recruiting for their next FERPA Learning Community. This learning community will have folks complete different FERPA activities that are meant to expand one’s knowledge of FERPA and provide some tangible collateral to use with one’s department. The LC will meet from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on July 10, July 24, July 31, Aug. 21, Sept. 4 and Sept. 18. If you are interested, please fill out this survey by July 1. Questions? Contact Allyson.dean@oregonstate.edu.

Sept.16-23, 2018, is Welcome Week, a time to celebrate and welcome our new and returning students to campus. An outline of events can be found at http://welcome.oregonstate.edu/schedule. A more complete schedule will be available in late August/early September. If you are interested in offering an event during Welcome Week you can submit events online at: http://welcome.oregonstate.edu/submitting-events.

The Water Main, feeding Gilbert Hall, is leaking.  Facilities needs to get in to replace the feed pipe.  The repair means ALL water will be shut off in Gilbert Hall this Tuesday morning, June 19th.  The shut-down will affect everything: Bathrooms, Sinks, Labs, Hot Water, and even the fire suppression sprinkler system, etc.

Facilities estimate the repair will take 2 to 4 hours. First thing Tuesday, they are going to start draining the building water systems.  They will then replace the defective pipe, test for leaks, and re-fill the building water lines.

For planning purposes, I’m thinking we will not have water back until noon. I would also caution that when you use water Tuesday afternoon, to slowly open the valves in case there is ‘burping’ or sputtering of any trapped air.

Everyone may want to bring in some drinking water and find alternate locations for bathroom facilities:  Gilbert Addition (yes, they will still have water), Rogers Hall, Weniger Hall, Monroe Businesses(?), etc.

Please pre-plan for this repair evolution.

Thank you,
