Memorial Union on campus

Congratulations to our faculty and staff who have completed 25 or more years of service to Oregon State University! They will be recognized for their dedication and service at the 25-Year Club Dinner on May 22, 2018. Nearly half of this year's 25 honorees are in the College of Science.
