Dear OSU Students,
As we approach the end of winter term and look to the beginning of spring term, I write to share information about spring break travel precautions and COVID-19 testing. Please plan carefully to protect your own and community members’ wellness.
Dear OSU Student,
As a student at OSU, we would like you to evaluate your courses this term by completing the confidential electronic Student Evaluation of Teaching (eSET) or the confidential Student Learning Experience survey. Your responses will provide instructors with feedback they can use to improve their teaching.
This term the eSET evaluation period is open from March 3 until 11:59 PM on Sun, March 14, 2021 (PST).
Dear students,
With winter term coming to an end and spring term soon beginning, we remind you of some important information.
We are anticipating that spring term will look similar to winter term on both the Corvallis and OSU-Cascades campuses, with a mix of in-person and remote learning modalities. This email sent previously shows you how to search the Schedule of Classes by planned course modality.
From the Office of the President, F. King Alexander
Dear OSU Community Members,
I write to celebrate with you this week’s good news that President Biden expects that a significant increase in COVID-19 vaccine production will enable every adult in the nation to be vaccinated by the end of May. The nation’s plan to increase supply — along with Gov. Kate Brown’s Feb. 26 announcement detailing the distribution of vaccines among all Oregonians, including within higher education — are very good news.
On Feb. 3, 2021, President Alexander announced that OSU’s Corvallis and OSU-Cascades 2021 Commencement ceremonies will be conducted virtually.
