Week 10 Winter 2026

Welcome to the last week of instruction in the winter term! The spring equinox is within your grasp, so aim for a strong finish. As you hopefully know by now, Corvallis campus students can start signing up for online classes today (March 9). Thanks in advance for your patience, and keep checking the schedule of classes regularly. The spring term doesn’t begin until March 30, so it’s possible some seats may open before then.

Upcoming Opportunities

OSU Food Drive

Through all of March, the COH and other colleges and departments across OSU are planning a variety of food and fundraising activities to help narrow our local food security gap. This effort is in conjunction with the Governor’s State Employees Food Drive; the resources gathered support local food banks and nonprofit agencies. Find out info on the OSU Food Drive, including how you can donate and/or receive donations. Questions about how the COH is getting involved may go to Lori Hodgert; for example, a food donation box is currently at the main entrance in the Women’s Building. Also, don’t forget about the Basic Needs Center!

Course Learning Evaluations

Your course learning evaluations are your chance to offer candid feedback about your courses and aspects of instruction. The COH values your perspective; your comments are reviewed by faculty leaders and ultimately help improve teaching. Thanks in advance for your helpful feedback!
