10:45 AM - 6:00 PM - Corvallis, Oregon
Consistently ranked among the nation’s safest and most innovative and environmentally responsible cities, Corvallis Oregon is most notably home to the scenic and historic main campus of Oregon State University, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome prospective students to campus for a visit! This tour is intended for students exploring graduate opportunities at the master’s and doctoral level and will have 25 spots each for students interested in earth, environmental, and life sciences (these spots are filled), with the other 25 allocated for students interested in physical sciences and engineering fields.
OSU is Oregon’s leading public research university and conducts more research than all of the other public research universities in the state combined. Experience world-class research facilities firsthand on a tour of OSU’s campus and envision yourself as a graduate student here.
With students from all 50 states and more than 100 countries, Oregon State welcomes a diverse student body that’s known for sustaining a friendly, close-knit community. The university’s Corvallis campus is home to seven cultural resource centers, two of which we’ll visit on the tour, the Centro Cultural César Chávez and the Kaku-Ixt Mana Ina Haws. We’ll provide additional information about other programs designed to support the success of minoritized students, including the Dr. Larry Griggs Center for Black and Indigenous Student Success and the OSU SACNAS Chapter.

This field trip is organized for and closed to Stronger Together Program participants and invited guests. Guided by local field trip hosts, participants will explore key biocultural sites along the Columbia River, including the Bonneville Dam, Bonneville Hatchery, tribal fishing platforms and a local fish market. Our local hosts will share the unique cultural and ecological history of Oregon’s aquatic ecosystems, and how aquatic science tools are applied to address key challenges in fostering healthy ecosystems and resilient human communities. This field trip is sponsored by NOAA and National Sea Grant, and is organized by the Stronger Together Planning Team. The Stronger Together Program utilizes evidence-based approaches to foster a sense of belonging for students in aquatic sciences.
