DAN POLING SERVICE AWARD
Presented by the OSU Alumni Association
Every outstanding university depends greatly upon the loyal service of its alumni and friends. Dan W. Poling, a 1928 graduate of Oregon State, joined the faculty of his alma mater in 1937 and served for more than five decades as a shining example to thousands of Oregon Staters as Dean of Men, mentor, teacher, and friend. The Dan Poling Service Award is given to those who have volunteered a significant amount of time to OSU, spreading their abiding love for Oregon State University and its traditions, carrying on the legacy of Dan Poling.
