Do you guys know what a color run is? It’s a short marathon where runners get covered in colorful, non-toxin dye at certain points in the race. It’s a fun event that’s become very popular, and OSU is hosting one on May 26! It’s only $25, but you can get $10 off by using the code TAKETEN when you sign up. More information here: https://www.facebook.com/RunWithColor.
The INTO OSU Student Success Association (IOSSA) is a new student group on campus dedicated to helping YOU as a current INTO OSU student! It was founded by 3 former INTO OSU students who are all now studying at OSU.
After they came up with this idea, they came to INTO OSU’s Student Engagement Coordinator Casey Glick for some help setting it all up. They created 10 positions, each with distinct roles, and filled those positions with a diverse group of students from Turkey, Japan and more! Activities that the IOSSA will carry out include going to campus events, helping students communicate with their academic advisors, meet other students and make great campus connections. INTO OSU is proud to have such a great group of INTO OSU alums. Good luck!

INTO OSU students recently went on a fun adventure to an indoor ice skating rink! A first for many of them, there was a lot of falling down. Luckily, the only thing that got hurt were some egos. After an hour and a half of skating, students went to the Valley River Center, where there’s a mall, movie theater and restaurants. Some students shopped, some watched movies and some ate – but they all had fun. Check out all the photos on our Facebook page.
The rink, located 45 minutes south of Corvallis in Eugene, is open all year – even during summer! Can you think of a better activity for a hot summer day? Check out their website for more information.
We’re in a generation of iPhones and laptops, so wouldn’t you like to use this kind of cool technology in class more? One of our most tech-savvy teachers, Katie Mitchell, is leading a survey to ask students, What technology would you like to see used in class?
Take the survey here (http://Tinyurl.com/intotech) and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win one of three iTunes gift cards. The survey is only 6 questions, and you’ll have the chance to shape how you learn. Don’t miss this opportunity!
Students get hands-on to experience what sea stars and anemones feel like.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium draws lots of people, and INTO OSU didn’t want students to miss out on the fun! From touch tanks that simulate rocky Oregon tide pools (pictured at right) to a submerged tunnel surrounded by sharks and other marine life, students got to see a lot of cool creatures! Check out the full set of photos on our Facebook page!
Want to visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium on your own? It’s a pretty short drive from Corvallis (usually less than 1 hour). Visit the aquarium website’s Planning Your Visit page for directions, rules, ticket prices (plus you can buy tickets online!) and aquarium rules. If you decide to go, share your pictures on our Facebook page!
