Highlights

OSS Online Appointment Scheduling:

We are excited to announce a new online appointment scheduling system, TimeTrade, is now available to all students with an active ONID username and password to make appointments for April 3 and later. For March appointment scheduling, please call to make an appointment.

TimeTrade will allow students to:

1. Schedule an appointment (for April 3 and later) with their assigned academic advisor at http://health.oregonstate.edu/advisors.
2. Schedule a 15-minute, 25-minute, or 50-minute appointment based on the type of appointment needed.
3. Schedule an appointment up to 6 weeks in advance.
4. Schedule, reschedule, or cancel an appointment 24/7 online.
5. Schedule a same-day appointment if an appointment is made by 8am.

Students will receive:

1. A confirmation notification email in their ONID inbox, upon the initial appointment creation. Students will also receive a rescheduling and cancellation notification email, upon those events.
2. An appointment reminder email 24 hours prior the appointment. If a student schedules an appointment less than 24 hours in advance, they will not receive an email reminder.
3. An Outlook and iCal appointment file upon the initial appointment creation. This syncs the appointment to the student’s calendar if applicable.

Please note that if you schedule an appointment with an advisor other than your assigned advisor, you may be asked to reschedule your appointment.  If you do not know who your assigned advisor is, you can log in to MyDegrees, which lists your assigned advisor, or you can call us at 541-737-8900, and we will be happy to help you.

Course Description: “Critical Citizenship” is an interdisciplinary course that draws on faculty from history, philosophy, and religious studies. This dynamic, collaborative course is taught by rotation of SHPR faculty, each applying their scholarly expertise to past-, present-, and future-oriented questions about the strengths and limitations of “citizenship” and regarding pressing contemporary concerns about how to be informed and engaged citizens. The course highlights issues and events that are at the forefront of American political debate today. History 399 CRN#: 60357/Philosophy 399 CRN#: 60359/Religion 415 CRN#: 60360.

Nutrition Opportunity:

If you’re ready for an amazing summer of personal growth or looking for a way to set yourself apart from other nutrition internship candidates, it’s time to consider a summer at Gales Creek Camp for children with type 1 diabetes. Get hands-on experience working with a registered dietitian and children with a challenging condition, while having the flexibility to help lead projects, do experimental cooking, and meet great people. The camp provides housing and food, so all you need to worry about is having a great summer doing what you love! For more information, visit Gales Creek Camp or contact rob@galescreekcamp.org.
