Alumni and friends of Oregon State University gathered March 2 and 3 in the spectacular California desert. They learned about ways OSU faculty are impacting students, Oregon, and the world, and honored four distinguished alumni at the Awards Dinner. View photos and videos in honor of Keith McKennon, Don Moore, Rod Moore, and Bud Gienger, and write a note of congratulations in their guestbooks.
2009 President's Circle Receptions
Some 120 guests joined President Ed Ray for the Jan. 22 President’s Circle reception in Portland, hosted by OSU Foundation Trustees Cindy Campbell and Duane McDougall. Listeners were wowed by speaker Anais Tuepker, who recently completed her master’s in public health at OSU. Anais's research interest is in health care for refugees and other displaced populations. A privately-funded fellowship supported her travel to Laos to do an internship with the World Health Organization.
The Corvallis President’s Circle reception on April 8 featured gymnast D’Anna Piro. "At Oregon State I have been surrounded by people who support and believe in me," she said. "I want to say thank you for helping make my experiences here possible. I hope you know the difference that you make, especially in times like these. I really cannot express my gratitude enough." View photos.
Representing OSU’s inner circle of donors, President's Circle members contribute generous annual gifts of $1,000 or more. These contributions help OSU build on existing strengths in strategic areas to achieve world-class excellence, and to send graduates like Anais Tuepker and D’Anna Piro out ready to serve Oregon and our world.
