Story by Erika Altenhofen Okay, you made it here. You’re sitting on your bed in your new dorm room. Mom and Dad just left after hauling your most precious belongings and dorm life necessities up three flights of stairs. You’ve only met your room mate through Facebook, and he’s not due to move in until tomorrow. You’re in college! Where do you start? Connect Week 2010 provided students with the perfect place to start. Oregon State planned a plethora of activities to welcome new additions to the Beaver Family. The week before classes started fall term, campus was a brooding nest of picnics, free giveaways, and new faces. The MU Rec Center provided free bowling and campus tours were given. Kmart. Bed, Bath Beyond, and Fred Meyer took advantage of the influx of students by offering special discount prices at unusually late hours, checking student ID’s at their doors. The week of activity also provided students with a chance to get familiar with the multitude of organizations hosted by other students on campus. The International Resource Center, the Pride Center, study abroad representatives, Student Media, student government, and plenty of others were out in full force advertising their services or recruiting members. Ttuesday was perhaps the biggest welcome to campus. The annual New Student Convocation took place at Gill Coliseum, after which began the New Student Walk to the MU Quad. A free picnic awaited students, along with displays, games and activities, and a live DJ provided by KBVR FM. Members of the Greek community were also out representing their houses in their effort to recruit new members. Connect Week is the product of months of planning, and perhaps it’s all over too soon. As one student put it, connect week “is the time to meet friends, get close to other freshmen, and learn the campus and stuff. Well put, freshy. 12 I student life | all photos by Erika Altenhofen ( SC DE SOUND ]—lomecomming Old School Benny, New School Pride J Story by Jessica Maynard Homecoming: the time for alumni to return to their alma mater to celebrate school spirit, the community, and lifelong learning at Oregon State. And no, the weekend isn’t just about football! Other weekend activities include one of the oldest traditions at OSU: the bonfire. The “Rock Bonfire as it was known in earlier years, was to be constructed and guarded (from pranksters) by the freshman. The date of the first bonfire isn’t known, but school records go back to 1907. Homecoming weekend also includes class reunions and presentations by the year’s distinguished Alumni Fellows. The traditional parade takes place before the football game on Saturday. The OSU cheerleading team, dance team, and band all perform and free concessions were available. A few years ago, the OSU band started a new tradition of going around to local bars on Friday night and playing for the fans. They play the OSU fight song and get the fans pumped up and ready for Saturday’s game. This year Benny the Beaver’s birthday was also celebrated with the Homecoming festivities. “Benny Beaver was first referenced in 1941. The retro logo of Benny was used as the theme for the Weekend. Tl i c a m p u 9 Movie j—es“t Bright lights, little city Campus Movie Fest is the worlds largest student film festival and is the go-to outlet for the next generation of filmmakers. Students from about 50 universities around the country are provided with the equipment to make a movie-including video camerasandeditingsoftware. The winning filmmakers from each school get the chance to gain international recognition. Four teams of filmmakers at Oregon State did well enough to be invited to Campus Movie Fest’s International Grand Finale in Hollywood, where they took part in industry workshops and panels, saw advanced screenings of feature films, had their creations played among the best student films in the country, and attended a red carpet awards ceremony at Warner Bros. Studios. Story by Erika Altenhofen Many of the participants in the Oregon State CMF were New Media Communications majors and had experience working KBVR TV’s cameras. Some of the students took their filmmaking a step farther by going 3D. The makers of Best Drama winner “Menage,” Josh Peschka and John Schulze, were asked to create a 3D film to be displayed and competed against at the Hollywood event. “It’s a zombie horror movie and basically it’s a guy who gets caught up in the middle of a Zombie apocalypse and he goes to save his dad and his girlfriend,” Schulze said. “Its basically his journey on the way. Other OSU winners include the makers of “Hatch, which won Best Picture, The Interview,” which won Best Comedy, and “Newtons Apple,” which won the Wild Card award. I CMF Finale )( 4ekend Big Daddy Beavers Stc Story by Jessica Maynard Men in Black and Orange was the theme for Dads weekend. Comedian Michael Ian Black, whose name provided inspiration for the weekend’s theme, performed for two sold out crowds Friday night. Fathers and sons (or daughters) kept theselves busy throughout the weekend with self-guided library tours, pottery sales, and a golf tournament hosted by Dixon Recreational Center. Guests even got a chance to meet Craig Robinson during a book signing aimed to promote the basketball coach’s recent book. Saturday’s activities included breakfast in the Memorial Union, a home beerbrewing demonstration, and an open house held by the flying club at the Corvallis Airport. Of course the main event for many dads is the annual Dad’s Weekend football game, and this year the Beavers took on Washington State. Before the big game on Saturday, many students and their fathers took part in tailgating around campus. Unfortunately, dads didn’t get to witness a win. Instead, they bore witness to the end of the Cougars 16-game conference losing streak. Hopefully dads weren’t discouraged and will return for years to come! Thanks, Dads, for your support and love.

Nicole Ognibene, a junior in apparel design and merchandise management, coordinated thisyear’sevent. According to Ognibene, almost 70 garments were submitted. Designers were allowed to submit up to three garments composed of recycled materials, and could spend no more than $5 to make each outfit. For the first time, KBVR broadcast the show live online and on Channel 26, and provided two screens which displayed the designer’s name and materials used to make each garment. Charlie Rose Hormann created a ballerina outfit constructed of dryer sheets and hangers (shown on opposite page, top right model). It took me roughly 30 hours I would guess. It was a little bit of a pain, she told us. Materials used included broken luggage, netting, zippers, hardware, and an ex boyfriend’s T-shirts. The Best in Show award went to Jessie Curry, a senior in apparel design and merchandise management, whose dress was made of slit cardboard and fabric from the sewing lab’s recycle bin. “It was absolutely amazing to have a piece of my work that I put so much effort into and was super excited about shown on the runway.” all photos by Nathan Raymond Megan Amadon. a junior in apparel design, won Most Creative for her dress, which she created from footballs, astroturf, and spraypaint. She got the footballs from Coach Coury (an OSU alumnus) at Lake Oswego High School, where she graduated. She got the turf from Home Depot and spray painted it green. The whole process took about four weeks. I didn’t expect to Wl H .anything or Strive for an award either... it was absolutely amazing to have a piece of my work that I put so much effort into and was SUPER EXCITED about shown on the runway and close the show! - Megan 24 I student life | all photos by Nathan Raymond ASOSU •Elections' Story by Kayla Harr of the Daily Barometer, adapted for the yearbook by Erika Altenhofen Some of the duties as ASOSU president and vice president include sitting on committees, monitoring staffs visions and goals, making sure students’ voices are heard on these committees and relaying that information to where it needs to be heard on campus. For obvious reasons, the presidential and vice presidential candidates must prove their worthiness before being voted into the positions. Ryan Ludlow, a sophomore in political science and economics, and Olivia Hollenhorst, a freshman in public health, were two of this year’s ASOSU presidential and vice presidential hopefuls who made it past the primaries. I got involved in ASOSU at the beginning of the year because I wanted to take a more active part plotting the course of my education,” Hollenhorst said. Ludlow and Hollenhorst ran on the campaign slogan “The Tuition is Too Damn High! Hellenhorst told the Barometer. “If elected, ...I would like to see a change in how the university functions so that more focus is put on long-term sustainable models of education rather than statistics and head counts.” Opposing candidates Milikaleakona ‘Tonga” Hopoi and Sokho “Sonny” Eath believe through their leadership, ASOSU can connect to students and cultural groups who are usually disconnected from ASOSU. “I think one of the largest reasons why we wanted to run is because of the potential that ASOSU has for all student groups, not just the student groups that are already actively involved, because ASOSU should be all students, not just those that have been involved in the year before, so we wanted to expand the mission to all of the student body,” Hopoi. a junior in philosophy, said. Hopoi was responsible for organizing December’s Rally for Peace in response to the attack on a Corvallis mosque, which she put together within a few days. Tonga and Sokho eventually went on to win the election in a landslide against their opponents. They were inaugurated on Wednesday, May 25th. 2011 and will serve as president and vice president during the 2011-12 academic year.

With over 32 major events and countless smaller ones, students had every oppurtunity to join in the green-tinted fun. Among the festivities were some new features along with annual classics such as the Earth Fair in the MU Quad, the Green Career Day. and the traditional HooHaa Earth Day Celebration. Several country folk bands and singers graced the stage during the HooHaa, provoking many people to sing or dance along. Of course, the annual HooHaa Central Store was back, selling all sorts of green goods, and anyone could join the planting party or petting areas set up around the quad. Armon Poostpasand (pictured left) joined in the MU Earth Week fair by doing something he never expected to get to do. ‘This girl was holding a cockroach and I said. ‘I’ve never held a cockroach before!’” At the Earth Week fair there were reusable grocery bag tote decorating booths, biodiesel experiments being showcased, samples from local organic markets, and dozens of aid organizations from around the nation. 26 I student life | all photos by Natasha Mackey ...Reduce.

I earth day | 27 u_ au Bringing the Islands to Corvallis Story by Erika Altenhofen The Hui-O-Hawaii club brought the tastes, sounds, and sights of the islands to Corvallis for the 56th annual Lu’au, held in Gill Coliseum. The event has grown into one of the university’s biggest and most anticipated cultural celebrations, sometimes attracting as many as a thousand guests. A traditional Hawaiian dinner of kalua pork, lomi salmon, chicken long rice, steamed white rice, shoyu chicken, and haupia (a coconut flavored gelatin dessert) was served early in the evening, while non student community members entertained with various performances. Performers included Jim Koski and Sue Jackson from Student Health Services; Adry Clark and Jennifer Busick from Career Services; Alicia Ortega. Kourtney Goya and Christina Nakada from Admissions; Ika Fifita from Transportation and Parking Services; Luanne Knapp from Athletics; Heather Boren from University Honors College; and Mealoha McFadden from the Alumni Association. Following dinner, the Polynesian show featured a range of Polynesian dances performed by Hui-O Hawaii and Polynesian Cultural Club members. Traditionally, the Hui-O-Hawaii club recruits a musician from Hawaii to fly in for a special concert after student dances have been performed. This year, the concert featured Hawaiian reggae by Micah G and Kaipo Kapua from Honolulu. Asian Pacific Islander American Student Services sponsored the student-planned evening.

Since the beginning of the tradition, the amount of Pet Day participants has supassed 3.000 people-which is a lot of legs, especially if you count those of the pets tagging along. And it wouldn't be the Willamette Valley if it didn’t drizzle all day long, soaking fur, feathers, and clothes. Spirits remained bright, however, and some familiar faces were among the participants, including a K-9 attack dog demonstration, booths from all the surrounding animal shelters, and a caricaturist. The Fun Run was also back, giving people an opportunity to show of their mad speed skills, as well as their furry companions. The top three finishers were Debbie Jones with 30 minutes for the 15 years and under category, Lars Gjouik with 18.18 in the 16 25 category, and Ben Coutant with 20.17 in 26 and up. ere fheq C ome! Moms Weekend 2011 Story by Shelby Lewis The usually calm streets of Corvallis become completely packed on a couple select weekends every year. OSU’s Mom’s Weekend is one of them. It is a time for all of the moms of OSU students to come on down for a visit and some fun. There are tons of scheduled events to attend, not to mention shopping. This weekend includes tea sessions, concerts, comedy shows, open air markets, t-shirts, and lots of beaver gear. Freshman Amanda Dalsgaard welcomed her mom. Guiliana. with excitement. Mom drove all the way from Novato. California to spend time with Amanda. “I was so excited. I couldn’t sleep all week! Knowing that I was going to see Amanda this weekend was too much for me,” said Guiliana. During her stay here at OSU they stayed in Amanda’s dorm room. A top bunk twin size bed was what Amanda shared with her mom. “I absolutely loved that time with my mom. it was very much needed. said Amanda. Senior Jessica Rohner had her mom come down for a good time. Although Jessica does not live on campus, she still brought her mom to a club gymnastics practice in Langton Hall. It's great to see what she can still do, even though she is so old,” joked Jessica’s mom. Among other things, Jessica and her mom met a bunch of other morn-daughter couples for Mexican food on Friday night. Not only moms cover campus on this weekend; there are usually a few grandmas here too. Freshman Melanie Shelton, from San Jose. California, was delighted to see her mom and grandma come out to visit. After taking plenty of pictures, the trio explored other activities as well, “we got a chance to look at apartments for me to live in next school year, and we also did a lot of shopping, said Melanie. It was a really good time.” , , . all photos by Nathan Raymond 32 I student life I The Art Festival showcases a wide variety of handmade crafts from around Corvallis in the MU Brick Mall.

Pride )( eek It Gets Better Story by Camille jacobson-Ingram of the Daily Barometer, adapted for the yearbook by Erika Altenhofen You would be hard-pressed to find a student at OSU without school pride, but during the annual Pride Week, students have the opportunity to explore a different kind of campus pride. Pride Week, organized by the OSU Pride Center, aims to bring the community together to better understand LGBT issues. In addition. Pride Week exposes students to many resources on campus they might not otherwise know are available. Monday evening featured speaker Dan Savage, who co-created It Gets Better,” a campaign which seeks to bring awareness to the issue of gay teen suicides. The speech took place in La Sells Stewart Center in front of a sold-out crowd. Dr. Will Keim spoke Tuesday on the relationship between the LGBT and Greek communities, and a film screening hosted by Tobi HilPMeyer was also held Tuesday in the MU Council room. The week ended with the ever-popular Spring Drag Show at 8 p.m. Friday in the MU Ballroom. Tickets were three dollars and, not suprisingly, sold out early in the week. Pride Week is not just for the LG BT com munity. The events cater to the community as a whole in hopes of spreading knowledge and solidarity through Corvallis. There were so many people participating in all the different events and taking a real interest to learn more about the queer community. I expect this year to also reflect those same things as well,” said Rylan Wall, a codirector for Rainbow Continuum, the organization that facilitates Pride Week. Though the events of Pride Week will bring the community together for six days, the goal of Pride Week is much larger than short-term unity. The LGBT community can often be ignored within a community, and the organizers of Pride Week hope to change that. photo by Nathan Raymond MEMORABLE FACTS 80,330.77 total dollars raised 67 teams of walkers and runners 5,289 dollars raised by Sigma Phi Epsilon Alpha Chi Omega 1,158 total participants 1,700 dollars raised by Caroline Zaworski 36 I student life | photo by Nathan Raymond ReLij for [i£e Cowboy Up Against Cancer Story by Natasha Mackey photo by Natasha Mackey This year, with one of the largest turn-outs in OSU’s Relay for Life, the feeling around the MU quad was pure hope. Over a thousand known participants showed up to support their team, and hundreds of them wore their best country get-up. Greek houses brought baked goods, and corporations such as Maurices donned booths. At the beginning of the night a crowd gathered to learn squaredancing, and there was a booth for head-shaving and coloring for a donation. Of course, there was a constant flow of people who marched around the quad throughout the night. As always, the relay was a complete success. There were smiling faces and live music and spirits were lifted as the weekend came to a close. Oh, and the tens-of-thousands of dollars raised wasn’t too bad either. photo by Nathan Raymond photo by Nathan Raymond | relay for life | 37 I ow DEE E.Eion Equinox: A Balance of Light and Dark A Ki Fril a Alfpnhnfpn Apparel design students at Oregon State have a unique opportunity to show their creativity in at least half a dozen student-run fashion shows before they graduate. Not only do the plethora of fashion shows on campus exhibit what students are learning, but it also provides them with the opportunity to plan a show and put some event-planning experience under their belt. “It adds a powerful punch to your portfolio to have a collection.” says Hattie Olson, a senior in apparel design. “It shows great drive, organization, ability to merchandise, and creativity.” Mary Ann Egan, the apparel design instructor behind the Spring Design and Human Environment Fashion Show since its birth in 2003, says students are in control of planning from conception through the final execution of the show. Seventeen students must formally apply before they are accepted into the class each winter. They spend 2 terms planning the show, from writing a grant for the funding to training models, building a runway, designing the lighting and styling, and promoting the show. Story by Erika Aitenhofen According to Deedra Stephens, a senior in apparel design and planner for this Spring’s Equinox, planning a show with 30 designers, 26 models, and 115 dresses is a lot of work, but is rewarding nonetheless. Equinox was Olson’s favorite show of the six she’s participated in as a designer. “I was happy how my collection turned out and it was run so well, and everyone did such a stunning job. And the music rocked. I still can’t get over how great it was. Olson, who graduated not long after the show and moved to Portland to immerse herself in the fashion design scene. “I hope to keep busy with costuming short and indie films with some of my friends in the Portland area in the meantime and hopefully make it into a career one day. You’ll see me with one of those golden oscars one day!” The 2011 show, themed Equinox, took place May 19th. The students’, designers’, and models’ hours of hard work cumulated in just a few hours on the specially built stage in CH2M Hill Alumni Center in front of a crowd of supportive family, friends, and fellow students. Congratulations to all involved! 38 I student life | all photos by Nathan Raymond Snow + Snow, n ua j aKe __ ater and... Sun? Story by Lauren Kaysen Who says you can’t nail a trick or hit a wave in the middle of the MU Quad? Once every Spring, students get a chance to do just that. The always popular Snow in the Quad event, presented by Campus Rail Jam Tour, was amped up in its sixth year at OSU with the addition of a wake boarding pool. You could be watching a snowboarder land a poptart and literally turn your head to watch a wakeboarder execute the perfect tootsie roll. Not everyone can say that! The Campus Rail Jam Tour travels to schools in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Washington. Oregon, and California to perform various feats of acrobatics in their areas of expertise and welcome students to compete as well. Students attending the event also had the opportunity to win prizes from sponsors, but most of all to sit back and enjoy the show. fettle of tine ffVnds' To the Death! Story by Erika Altenhofen The end of the school year and beginning of finals week is officially kicked off and celebrated each year by Battle of the Bands, an event planned and hosted by the hard working students of the Memorial Union Program Council and sponsored by OSU Summer Session. Music lovers on campus were delighted to see trucks hauling in the infrastructure for the stages which transform the MU Quad into a mini musical festival for the weekend. Battle of the Bands allows students and community members to compete for the title of best band. As tradition stipulates, the winning band performs the next night during the Flat Tail Festival. This year. Loaded for Bear, from Portland, won the battle and had the pleasure of being one or the openers for OK Go, the headlining band during the second night. Other bands who joined in the battle were Jared Mees The Grown Children, Ambush Party, Radion. The Flailing Inhalers, Of Saints and Shadows, Mr. K2. Pluto My Planet, Blue Ember, Audiophilia, and motae. a Nina made for a cooler than-usual Spring, but failed to make an appearance during the much-anticipated weekend.

Story by Erika Altenhofen V 3 Perhaps one of the greatest perks of being a Beaver is having the Memorial Union Program Council working around the clock to ensure our experience at OSU is extraordinary. The year, filled with events of all kinds, cumulates in one Saturday that is, traditionally, a campus favorite Flat Tail Festival. As per tradition, Loaded for Bear, the winning band from Friday night’s Battle of the Bands, opened at 5:30. Afterward, bands from around the Pacific Northwest took turns appeasing an every-growing crowd. Target for Tomorrow and the Horns of Destruction, a six-man student band, was one of the local bands present. The Nautics, Doo Doo Funk All-stars, and Gold Motel alternated sides of the stage and rocked the Quad until about 10 PM, when the crowd started getting anxious for the headlining band’s performance. OK Go, a band who’s become famous for their unique and thoroughly-choreographed music videos (think treadmills), appeared on the stage at about 10:15 to a very excited crowd. Their performance included a 3D showing of a music video featuring some very talented pooches, which happened to have been filmed in Corvallis about a year prior. The band is known for their theatrics, and they didn’t disappoint the crowd, especially when they actually moved their performance into the mass of 20-something Beavers. Confetti profusely sprayed down the stage at random intervals throughout the show, and the band took a break from their pop performances to play a song with hand bells. What a terrific way to kick off finals week at the most music-friendly school in the area!

M ohamud, a 19- .year-old naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia, was arrested around 5 40 p.m. Friday for attempting to “ use a weapon of mass destruction in the final stage of a five-month, undercover FBI sting operation. Although Mohamud had no idea, undercover P BI agents were acting as his accomplices as he plotted and attempted to execute a plan to detonate a van full of explosives at Portland’s tree lighting ceremony. At 4:45 p.m., Mohamud and one of the undercover agents drove the van to a predetermined parking spot on Yamhill and Sixth Street that he believed would put 25,000 people attending the ceremony in the blast’s radius.

The mosque is the only one in Corvallis, and many in the Corvallis community believed that it was in response to Mohamed Osman Mohamud s attempted terrorist attack. The Corvallis Fire Department made a statement soon after that the cause was evidently arson. Imam Yosof Wanly, who leads the center, said more than 80 percent of the administrative office suffered damage. The burn destroyed birth certificates, marriage licenses and records of the Corvallis Muslim community, which has a population of 1.000 residents, Wanly said. Wanly said he also didn't know Mohamud well, but that he appeared to be a normal college student and he never noticed any ideology or methodology of this extremist attitude.

Coming back to campus after a sunny summer is made a little easier with the kickoff of the football season. The 2010 season had its ups and downs but nonetheless was an exciting one for Beaver fans. Students were grinding their teeth in anxious anticipation to hear the status of senior wide receiver James Rodgers' medical condition after his knee injury during the Arizona game. The injury was a season-ender for James, but later in the season, he was granted medical hardship. To the relief of students and fans, he’ll return for the 2011 season. James’brother. Jacquizz, however, didn’t have such good news for fans by the end of the season. Jacquizz, a junior tailback with records sprinkling OSU’s record book, declared his intent to join the NFL draft. Although the Beavers didn’t enter postseason play this year, players still made headlines in positive ways. Stephen Paea was chosen to play in the Senior Bowl, James Dockery was invited to the All-Star Game,and several football players were chosen to represent OSU’s Athletic Department as Everyday Champions, including Gabe Miller, Alex Linnenkohl, and Aaron Nichols. reer Ijmeline MIKE RILEY 60 I athletics | Hometown: Corvallis, Ore.

Once a Beaver, always a Beaver! c imping Out P or f ckets' Same Game, Different Rules Story by Shelby Lewis When the temperatures dip below freezing, and the wind is almost unbearable, there is only one reason you will find hundreds of students camping outside Reser Stadium: football tickets. These students endure horrid conditions to get premium seats for games. At the beginning of the year, camping out was more freestyle and less organized, however it wasn’t that way for long. ASOSU created and enforced a new set of regulations for camping out. As of November 15th. the new rules went into effect. The new regulations include: not allowing any camping prior to 24 hours before the tickets go on sale, groups can be no larger than 10 people, every group member must remain present for the last 12 hours before ticket distribution, and all of the groups are documented on a list to keep attendance. The new rules also required 10 ticket windows to be open, instead of the usual two or three. This moved the process along much faster. There was question about how everyone would react to the rules however there seemed to be much support from the student body. “The new rules are way better that the old system because they make it so you actually have to show up early to get good seats instead of cutting in the line at the last minute. It’s also nice that we don’t use the online system since U of O has had so many problems with it,” said Junior Josh Wilcox. Josh has been camping out for three years now, with a steady group of 12 other people. Why the sudden need for new regulations? There seemed to be a much greater interest in camping out this year. “Students were more motivated to camp out and get better seats, especially the freshmen,” said freshman Jeanette Donnelly. “ I think it had a lot to do with the Civil War being here, people wanted to make sure they had five stubs.” With all of the new campers, the new rules helped make the ticket distribution go more smoothly. photo by Nathan Raymond photo by Trevor Husseman photo by Nathan Raymond 64 I student life | photo by Trevor Husseman photo by Nathan Raymond photo by Trevor Husseman photo by Trevor Husseman I football feature | 65 G'vil av Giant Killers or Little Brothers? Story by Erika Altenhofen On the list of things to do before graduating from this rainsoaked campus, attending a Civil War football game in Reser Stadium is near the top for most students, and for obvious reasons. There’s perhaps no other college football game played in the country with as much tension in the stands. Certainly, no other — match-up demands R as much preparation from OSU players and coaches as this one. The 114th game proved to be even more hyped up than in previous years. With Oregon ranked number 2 in the nation, the Beavs’ desire to beat them was reinforced by the fact that with a victory, not only would we destroy our rival’s chance to play in the national Bowl Championship Series, but we’d be nationally reckognized as Giant Killers. For many students, it was hard to focus on classes during week 9 of Fall Term. Trucks blocked pathways and the MU Quad was beingfilled with equipmentfor ESPN’s broadcast of College Gameday. If there was a post on Facebook that didn’t include trash talk, it was likely that the poster was living under a rock. Bookstore and Fan Shop sales skyrocketed, and the song I Love My Ducks,” (we know, you were hoping to forget) could be heard on Eugene, and siauoj S: even Portland, radio stations. chool pride soaked the air on the sunny morning of December 4,2010. Corvallis was flooded with orange and of course, a little green and yellow. Fans crowded the MU Quad to show support for their school on national TV, and let’s just say a few things were thrown. Although the well-prepared Beavs scored the first touchdown, the rival team managed to rally and win 37-20. Win or lose, being a student in the stands during a Civil War game at home is irreplaceable experience. an ['den ? oocceT GOAAAAL!

Afterward, the team came out fighting; they landed five out of their ten shots at the goal, leaving Memphis in the dust with a 5-0 win. The second match against Oklahoma State, the sixth ranked team in the PAC-10, was a close battle to the very end. For over a grueling half-hour no one put points onto the board. With ten seconds left in the first half. Chelsea Buckland drove the ball into the net from thirty yards out. However, during the last half of the game, two goals from Oklahoma State could not be stopped, and they took the 2 1 win. I have been able to play at the highest level, in the most competitive conference in the country, with and against the best players out there.

A pumped-up crowd can lift damp spirits and turn a game around, keep a great game rolling, and distract other teams. We have the OSU cheerleaders to thank for that. Without them, the crowd would be a disorganized mass of screaming students. They lead us in the fight song, bring up the noise volume when other teams are calling plays, and ask questions that we can't help but respond to in a fervor of shouts. Each member of the cheerleading squad goes through intense physical training in order to maintain a healthy and robust performance during events. The individuals on the team are among the most limber and athletic students at OSU. They need to be in order to perform the stunts and acrobatics, and because of this, getting onto the squad is hard work, only a handful are chosen in the spring each year. Like the dance team, cheerleaders also donate their time in order to pass on their knowledge to those that are interested in continuing on their cheerleading path. During these camp-like sessions, youth are taught how to be confident leaders and prideful students, and, perhaps most importantly, how to create an endless supply of team spirit. “Beavers, Beavers, fighters through and through. We’ll cheer through-out the land, We’ll root for every stand, That’s made for old O.S.U. Rah-rah-rah!” } nce _ Bleeding Orange... With a Smile Story by Natasha Mackey I love being a part of the dance program because it gives me the chance to really GXpGNGnCG the football games and do what I truejy love to do, dance! it also allows me to meet others who enjoy dance just as much as I do. I athletics | - Holly Hayes, Animal Science Major all photos hv Nathan Raymond While undoubtedly a whole lot of fun, the dance team is not for everyone. Beaver dancers go through extensive training in several dance styles including jazz, hip hop. lyrical, and modern dance, collaborate with the marching and basketball bands, work hard to keep themselves healthy, and volunteer their time to pass on their skills to younger generations. The camps which receive instruction from the dancers are Junior Day, Bring It!, College Prep Camp, and Beavs Youth Cheerleading and Dance Clinic. Beaver dancers use their seemingly endless supply of school pride and spirit to support the cheer squad in an effort to rally fans during football, volleyball, and men’s and women’s basketball games. Their halftime performances are elaborate and highly coordinated, creating a seamless look on the floor or field. Dance gives women the chance to continue their passion for dance, providing structured practices and routines while playing an important role in sports on campus. During football and basketball games, the dance team will perform a full routine during halftime, keeping the crowd’s energy and excitement up, which is ever important to a sports team fighting for a win on the field or court. I dance | 79 n Reaching New Heights Story by Lauren Kaysen ' The 2010 11 season was filled with recognition of team mates both on and off the court. Angus Brandt and Rhys Murphy were selected to the Pac 10 Conference Mens Basketball All-Academic First Team. Students must have a minimum 3.0 grade-point average and be a starter or other significant player to be selected. Oregon State is the only school with two players on the First Team this year, and since the recognition began in 1985, 17 players have earned this honor. Brandt,a center, had a 3.21 GPA in his exercise and sports science classes and averaged 4.8 points per game. Murphy, a forward, completed the season with a 3.67 GPA in pre-business, and would have been a regular contributor this season before breaking a bone in his wrist that required surgery. Sophomore guard Jared Cunningham made a graceful dunk off a rebound in the game against Arizona in January, and was nominated as a finalist in ABCs national Dunk of the Year contest. He was also named to the Pac-10 All-Tournament Team. He joins Gary Payton as the only Oregon State player to receive the honor. In two tournament games, Cunningham averaged 23.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 4.0 steals and shot 52.0 percent (l3 of-25) from the field and 42.9 percent (3 of-7) from the three-point line. He tied his career-high with 24 points in the opening round win over Stanford, the Beavers first win in the Pac-10 Tournament since 2006.

We are uniquely positioned to apply advances in public health and human sciences to innovations in nutrition, exercise sciences, human development, and family sciences to promote health across the lifespan and across socioeconomic and cultural boundaries. We are poised to facilitate new approaches to the crucial public health challenges facing our world. This year, our advisors, pictured below, welcomed more than 700 new students to our Health and Human Sciences Family and bid farewill to an equal number of graduating seniors. The College’s Undergraduate Research Awards Program (URAP) provides the opportunity and support for full time undergraduate students to actively participate in research projects. Students work closely with a faculty mentor and culminate their experience with a poster presentation at a year-end celebration.

Tammy Bray, Dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences, said Settersten will help to bring together the Hallie Ford Center’s faculty and students to conduct pioneering interdisciplinary research. Hallie Ford, a noted Oregon philanthropist, provided funds toward a new building that will house the Center due to open fall 2011. Researchers in the Center address issues including school readiness, character development, obesity, problem behaviors, parenting education, and the special needs of vulnerable populations, including children with developmental disabilities, diverse families, and families in rural communities. “The initial reaction of families when we arrived in Taiwan was indescribable. The kids were so excited to meet us and the language barrier was easily bridged with games, singing, and play.” - Nathan Merlin (pictured left) of his HDFS fall term at Fu Jen University. I college of health and human sciences | 129 Story by Natasha Mackey “It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that lie does not really need a college. I le can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks” - Albert Einstein Professor Bill Lunch gives his last lecture before retiring. Oregon State University is not necessarily well-known for its Liberal Arts program. If you were to ask those who grew up in the Willamette Valley they would tell you that Oregon State is the best agriculture, oceanography, forestry, and engineering school around, and they wouldn’t be wrong. However, the College of Liberal Arts is a hidden gem in the University. In an article published by the Huffington Post, the college writing program was ranked in the top 25 underated programs in the nation! The writing program is not alone. As one of OSU’s more ‘wide-range’ colleges, the department of Liberal Arts houses bachelors degrees in Anthropology. Art, Economics, English, Ethnic Studies, Foreign Languages and Literatures, History, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Speech Communication, with masters programs in Public Policy. Applied Ethics, Creative Writing, Applied Anthropology, English, Hispanic Studies, Psychology, and History of Science. 130 I academics | 25th Annual flo mut Meumial Week Holocaust week is a time to remember the power and perserverance of people, the making of heroes, and the potential for evil in the world. Oregon State lias been hosting this event for over two decades and each one brings a sense of hope for immediate and on-going action against genocide. The goal of the week is not just to share what happened during the Holocaust, but to make students aware of how extreme global situations are currently. There were four speakers this year including Mark Wygoda’s speech on Fighting Rack Against the Nazis: The Story of ‘Comandante Enrico.” Jacques Kornberg spoke about the Catholic Church's role during the Holocaust, and Eugene Fisher spoke on the “Memoria Future: Remembering the Shoah for the Sake of Future Generations. A discussion led by John Clark took a modern look at genocide and large-scale violence during his presentation on “Understanding Mass Violence During and After the Congo Wars: Continuities of a Culture of Violent Repression.” Kudos to Oregon State University and the College of Liberal Arts in taking time to discuss, brainstorm, teach, and fuel a revolution against global genocide, hatred, and violence. ifc____________________________________________________________ j 1 college of liberal arts | 131 Below: Graduate students join geophysicists John Nabelek and Jochcn Braunmiller at a seismic station they installed in the Pleasant Valley, Nevada.

A leader in the study of coastal zones and ocean processes, COAS is often in the spotlight called upon by local, national, and international news media to help the world better understand our oceans. Faculty and students from COAS have been featured or interviewed for organizations such as National Geographic, BBC, US News World Report, and Discovery News, among many others. In March, Oregon State scientist Chris Goldfinger from COAS was featured in one of PBS’s NOVA documentaries as an expert on the earthquake in Japan. The episode was aired nationally and locally, on Oregon’s Public Broadcasting station. Through interdisciplinary research, over 70 faculty members have helped COAS at Oregon State become one of the leading institutions in the nation with an international reputation for their contributions to oceanic research. In fact, just recently, on March 24th, 2011 COAS began coordinating an online clearinghouse of images and data provided by the first space-borne spectrometer, the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO).

Since the building first went up, the college has been dedicated to the advancement of scientific drugs and treatments in Oregon. This year, OSU scientists engineered new versions of an antibiotic called Pactamycin, which has been known for its ability to fight bacteria, viruses and tumors. These new versions are up to 30 times less toxic than their parent compound, making them safer for patients fighting malaria to potentially use the drug. Along with creating new, potentially life-saving drugs, the College of Pharmacy was also officially accredited for their PGYl Community Practice residency. The partnership with Fred Meyer is the first and only residency of this kind in Oregon. Being a part of this college means being a part of scientific leaps and bounds in the field of medicine. It also means reaching out throughout the year to the underserved and uninsured in the Pacific Northwest.

Biomedical research conducted at the college increasingly expands the scopeof veterinary medicine to address both animal health issues and the relevanceof animal diseases to public health. The educational program emphasizes the importance of core training in comparative biology and medicine and includes elective training across a wide variety of more specialized subjects. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital provides advanced diagnostic and comprehensive clinical services including specialties in internal medicine, surgery, anesthesiology, radiology, theriogenology, oncology and cardiology. The Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory contributes to the health of Oregon’s animals by providing diagnostic services and promotes public health through testing and surveillance for zoonotic pathogens. The four-year professional program begins with a week of orientation that culminates with a “White Coat Ceremony” where the incoming students receive white lab coats, name tags and stethoscopes and are welcomed into the study of veterinary medicine. First and second-year students organize and orchestrate the annual Pet Day and Open House in the spring in addition to keeping up with their studies and involvement with student organizations. In the third year, direct animal contact is finally made. In the fourth and final year, intense hands-on training can take place anywhere in the world. A favorite required two-week rotation, though, is at the Animal Medical Learning Center at the Oregon Humane Society in Portland where numerous surgeries, animal assessments and treatments are performed. Once taken as a rotation, it is often repeated as an elective. After four years of study, students receive their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and take the veterinarian’s oath at a special commencement ceremony the day after OSU commencement. it tmisTstaHca1 bordcrlCollic - . 138 I academics | Above, Ruth MeDevitt, Class of 2010, checks the heart rate of a sedated sea otter prior to a CT scan. college of veterinarian medicine | 139 all photos courtesy of the College of Vet Medicine J nive'rs'itii — onor?

Luckily for those of us in Corvallis. Oregon State has a terrific Study Abroad International Studies program. First Steps meetings are offered 10 times a week throughout the year, and provide interested students a brief orientation of program options, academic policies, and funding resources. According to Lillian Read, a study abroad advisor for European programs, “the student should then talk to their academic advisor about the best term(s) or year to go abroad. It’s up to the student to research program options and application requirements via our resources online and in brochures and by speaking to a study abroad advisor. “ When a student knows which program they would like to attend or which international internship they would like to apply to, the student must complete a multi-stage application and orientation before being shipped off to see the world. 142 I academics | I cooked meals using collected rainwater, did stone masonry, poured concrete, shopped at the open-air market, had dinner with local families, walked through corn fields to get between places, traveled by chicken bus, and adjusted to bathing once a week — and through it all I learned a fair amount of Spanish.

With over 100 volumes, it has served as a historical document for the University since its modest beginnings as a state-supported agricultural institution. Having grown to well over 25,000 students in 2011. documenting the people and events of OSU has become a monumental task. What’s it like to be one of the staff members of such a long-standing publication, you ask? Well, you’ve come to the right place. The editor and business manager are charged with the task of recruiting talented journalists and photographers to attend events and interview fellow Beavers throughout the year. After training, a typical week in the yearbook office in Snell Hall consists of a weekly staff meeting, a frazzled editor, and two or three events being photographed and documented. A smart, hard-working staff is absolutely vital to the existence of such a huge publication, and we hope to be able to be around for the next 103 years!

The purpose is to bring the students word of what is happening, and to let them know that their voice matters. Not only do they have many members, but they believe that every student is part of ASOSU. During this year, ASOSU made a few changes to re-vamp then-purpose. They want students to use their voice and their vote to bring about change on campus. They want to emphasize that ASOSU is for students. They would like to know what changes the student body would like to see, what causes they would be willing to vote for. and what kind of student life OSU is looking for. As the job of ASOSU is not easy, they have put into place some reliable resources for students. The ASOSU Human Services Resource Center is open to all OSU students. It provides sendees such as MealBux, the OSU Emergency Food Pantry, Graduate Conference Subsidies, Emergency Housing Services, Health Insurance Subsidies, and Rental Assistance. Without this support from this organization, students all over campus would not have access to any services outside of healthcare from the Student Health Center. When a student cannot pay their rent, or doesn't have movey for groceries. ASOSU fills that need. Organizations like this will help OSU grow, and support students for many years to come. errovia mon Program Council Story by Clara Mandujano TyCden van Eeden Junior; Mechanical Engineering Position: Director of Student Community Outreach, Mom’s Weekend, and the Winter Leadership Conference. Favorite Event: OSU Has Talent What MUPC means to him: “Many services currently provided throughout campus started off as MUPC initiatives. These days MUPC brings to campus most of the events that have become traditions over the years, while trying to create new traditions every year.” LaureC Thompson Sophomore, Merchandising Management Position: Director of Dad’s Weekend Comedy Show and Mom’s Weekend Fashion Show Favorite Event: Mom’s Weekend Fashion Show How she describes MUPC: “I would describe MUPC as a truly amazing opportunity to grow as a person and as a leader. You are given responsibilities, resources and budgets that most college students can only dream of. All of this, coupled with an advisor who really cares about you as an individual, makes a job at MUPC a life-altering experience.” ‘Yuriy Mi itcHen o Business Administration - Finance Position: Director of New Media and Marketing, Mom’s Weekend Comedy Show Favorite Event: OSU Has Talent Why other students should get involved with MUPC: “I have had a blast working with MUPC, I applied my skills and I learned new skills. I’ve met so many new people and have established new, lifelong relationships.This is an experience students should strive to get.” 1 i i I photos on this page by Katy Weaver MUPC President Craig Bidiman and Vice President Charley McGowan have made it their mission to ensure that every Beaver on campus has an experience of a lifetime during their stay at OSU. Surely, we’re a little spoiled by all the events they and their hardworking team of student staff members plan and execute. The Memorial Union Program Council (MUPC) implements many of Oregon State’s favorite events, from CONNECT Week and Mom’s and Dad’s Weekends, to OSU Has Talent, Snow in the Quad, and Battle of The Bands. The MUPC office is located at the heart of Oregon State's Campus - the Memorial Union building. As the largest programming body on campus, the MUPC offers Oregon State students the opportunity to become involved, offering multiple positions as program directors, event committee chairs, and volunteer opportunities. e?

He’s not only made it his job to ensure you have fun as the president of the Memorial Union Program Council, but he’s also made quite an effort to make the greater OSU community a more welcoming place. He started the Campaign for Understanding in September of 2010. The goal of the initiative is to create a campus-wide understanding of respect for human rights and the importance of taking responsibility for our own actions. How was it all possible, you ask? “Initially it was my idea,” Craig told us. “But with the help of 186 I campaign for understanding | others. I've taken it into a campus initiative. I know I’m the spearhead behind it, but I plan on making it a bigger part of campus next year. Craig collaborated with the Pride Center and the Rainbow Continuum to bring the campaign to the lives of students. It became Craig’s mission to collect signatures from students and community members, thereby pledging to “create and promote a positive and welcoming environment on the Oregon State University campus in all regards, in alignment with the OSU Shared Student Values.” Craig collected 4,000 from OSU students, and spread the petition clipboards (as well as stickers, t-shirts, water bottles, and other swag) to four other universities in Idaho, Washington, California, and Chicago. The campaign, with its emblematic “be aware” logo, reached students through a plethora of different channels. The University hosted speakers Taylor Mali, a well-known poet, and Tristan Toarmino, a sex educator, author, columnist, and feminist pornographer. Alongside having a tabling presence in the Quad, Craig and his crew hosted Poverty Awareness Week, Sex Tips and Banana Splits, and “Build your own Box in the MU Quad, which gives students a chance to experience what it’s like to be homeless. The MUPC was one of the two recipients of the Pink Clipboard Award, given by the Rainbow Continuum for their positive impact on the LGBTQQIAcommunity throughout the past year.

But for Oregon State University student Nicolas Sitts, riding in the Solar Vehicle Team’s solar-powered vehicle, which is exactly what happened on a Saturday morning in July of 2011. Sitts was driving about 20 miles per hour, between two support vehicles, “when all of a sudden I heard a pop and saw flames down by my feet,” Sitts, a senior in chemical engineering, said. “I stopped the car immediately and went through emergency exit procedures. I got my foot stuck in the steering wheel on the way out and lost my shoe.” Soon after Sitts escaped, the vehicle exploded, sending battery debris into the adjacent parking lot. The vehicle was then engulfed in flames, destroying it entirely. Team members are still unsure as to the cause of the fire, which took place on 15th Street. The vehicle, which had been three years in the making, cost more than $100,000, had a titanium frame and lithium ion batteries and was powered by a large solar array. “We had just updated the egress system with a pneumatic lift assist,” Kathy Han, team co-captain and a Ph.D. student in chemical engineering, said. “This allowed the driver to get out in five seconds.” Sitts suffered first and second degree burns on his face, left arm and leg. He was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital where he was treated for his burns and released later that day. The team had been constructing the vehicle to participate in the American Solar Challenge, a biennial race conducted throughout North America. The team plans on changing the chemistry of the battery and changing some of the construction techniques to make it lighter. When asked if he would drive the solar vehicle in the future, Sitts seemed a little unsure. “I would drive it but my wife says I can’t,” Sitts said. “We have a really good team and everyone reacted quickly.” 189 Caroline Smith | C-print The pieces fcautured on these two pages were published in the Winter ‘11 edition of Prism Arts and Literary Magazine. 190 UnuAi Laumt by Jessica Varin They call me the sea witch, but I am just a business woman in the soul trade, We girls are powerless bitches with only our sods to barter. I lament my high interest, but the interest is high They come to my lair seeking change in the tide. Turning and churning I brew up solutions to placate young mermaids and foster illusion. The fees for my service are costly, yet fair. Contrary to rumor. the sod trade is taxing. Someone must pay so I stay in the block. I lock the means for philanthropy. Stil, I'm often indicted for harsh usury. Pm afforded the magic to concoct seduction, to steal ships. to slim sequined hips, to save bved ones I've lived under pressure and triton for years. When motherless girls dive into the dark, we're fearless until the hard bargoning starts. A mermaid rebelling and ready to sell undercuts herself desperately, fearing to foil. I regret when a mermaid is bound by defodt. but a contract undone is worth less than sea salt. For making a living. they call me a witch A woman who takes up much space is a bitch But this is my hell here under the sea. My hell and my bank with my sod currency. Nothing says tradition like philanthropies, Monday night dinners, and having a family of 100+.

We welcomed 36 wonderful girls into our house, which brought our membership up to an outstanding 127 women. We began the year with many sister bonding activities and a great deal of community and philanthropy involvement. We hosted our annual philanthropy Too Hot To Handle, a hot wing eating contest, in the fall and had a great amount of participation. All of the proceeds go towards the Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence and Reading Is Fundamental, our national philanthropy. Along with philanthropic involvement, the ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma were deeply involved in student government and Panhellenic, with multiple members holding positions in ASOSU. We were also very proud to have been awarded second overall in grades within the Greek community. The women of the Gamma Mu chapter strive to be the best student, leader, woman, daughter, and sister that we can be. Over the year we have participated in many Greek philanthropies and university activities. We were ecstatic to have won Kappa Delta’s Mock Rock and to have placed second in IFC’s and Panhellenic’s Sing. Dad’s weekend activities consisted of a barbeque, a football game, and a brunch, and we had a wonderful time with our mothers during Mom’s weekend decorating picture frames, attending Sing, and holding Sunday morning brunch and auction at our house. Spring term consisted of a great deal of sister bonding and philanthropies. We held our annual philanthropy Kappa Klassic at the Trysting Tree Golf Course. Spring term is also when we have Senior Week, which consists of sister bonding activities such as Senior Willing, Senior Prophecies, Zumba, and a house dinner dedicated to our beloved seniors. We are very proud of our achievements over the year and have greatly enjoyed how close all the women in our house have become. We are very much looking forward to what the next year will bring us.

We started off the year right with a pledge class of 51 new ladies, and since then things have only continued to get better! We are so proud of our President, Jessica Redman, who achieved second in the Oregon State University Greek Woman of the Year Award; a very impressive honor. We also earned second in OSU Greek Week, an event we tried very hard for and are extremely proud of. Our Freshman class did an outstanding job at IFC Sing this year, earning Best Choreography, and had the experience of a lifetime. Our members take pride in getting involved in the community, whether that is organizing a campus wide Invisible Children event, volunteering each week at the Corvallis Boys and Girls Club, or running the Eugene Marathon, we feel it is important to stay involved and give back. Our philanthropy, Ironbrawl, was a huge success this year, bringing in over $10,000 to the organization Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). Kappa Alpha Theta Ironbrawl is held to benefit the Benton County Branch of CASA. This is a non-profit organization whose mission is to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children who are involved in the juvenile courts. They promote and support quality volunteer representation for children to provide each child a safe, permanent and nurturing home. Events this year included Coin Jars in the Quad with a different check-in theme everyday, a group Zumba class, a barbecue at Theta’s, a Pasta-thon fundraiser at Pastini Pasteria, a 5K run walk. and the infamous Theta Ironbrawl flag football tournament! Theta means a lot of things to us. It means spending time with old friends and making time for new ones. Late nights and Cinnamon Toast Crunch from the kitchenette. Getting ready for football games and cramming for tests. Monday night dinners and movies in the basement. But most of all, Theta means love, friends, and memories that will last a lifetime. So as another summer draws to a close, we welcome the start of what is sure to be another amazing new year.

Being responsible for a 272-page, full color book that documents the lives of over 25,000 students is an enormous, but highly rewarding, task. If I’ve learned one thing in the past two years as Editor-in-Chief of the Beaver Yearbook, it’s that a project as huge as this one simply cannot be done by one person. With that being said, I have several people to thank. I can’t possibly mention the names of every single person who’s helped my through this process, but I’ll certain try. My apologies to those I’ve forgotten. Thank you to Kami Hammerschmith, my advisor, for being patient and teaching me. Thank you to Lois Lessert, the office administrator, for your encouragement and humor. Thank you to Phil McClain for your expertise, stories, and time. Thank you to all student leaders in Student Media who have shared their struggles and joys alongside me. Thank you to Nathan Raymond, my photo editor and head photographer, for being everywhere at once and getting your job done. Thank you to Natasha Mackey, my assistant, for doing more than your fair share and doing it well. Thank you to the rest of my staff. Jessica Maynard. Lauren Kaysen, Shelby Lewis, and Clara Mandujano for putting up with my leadership. Thank you to Dani Gregoire, the business manager, for working hard and for helping me destress. Thanks to Tami Cash, Scott Stalcup, and the rest of the publishing team for your encouragement and for putting up with my missed deadlines. Thanks to Thuy Tran, Theresa Preddy. Pat Newport. Pat Hutson. Nicole Miller. Linda Lamb, Kristin Kinman, and Betsy Hartley for your generosity in time and resources for the betterment of the yearbook. Thank you to the Athletic Department for your portraits and for your website, which helped with researching teams’seasons immensely. Thanks to Charley McGowan and Craig Bidiman of the Memorial Union Program Council for your assistance and ideas. And finally, thank you to all OSU students. Because of you. I’ve become an expert at facebook stalking and using other forms of internet research just so I could spell your name correctly. It’s been a fun ride, and while I may have been stressed out enough to dream about yearbook emails and captions at night. I truly enjoyed every minute of it. And since I've had quite enough editing. I’m not going to edit this page. No one’s going to read it anyway. 0 271 Erika Altenhofen, Beaver Yearbook Editor-in-Chief. 2010, 2011 on Oregon State University’s 2011 Beaver Yearbook.
