Invitation to COS: Engage with Distinguished Leader in Sports Medicine, Dr. Kimberly Harmon – Three Exciting Events!
Given the shared interests of our colleges in health and medicine, I am writing with special opportunities for College of Science faculty and students to engage with Dr. Kimberly Harmon, a distinguished leader in sports medicine, as our 2025 Bray Lecturer.
Dr. Harmon serves as the head football team physician and sports medicine section head at the University of Washington and Deputy Chief Medical Director for the NHL. Her groundbreaking research on sudden cardiac death in athletes has shaped collegiate sports medicine, and she has provided key advisory insights to the NCAA, NFL, NHL, and NBA. Learn more about Dr. Harmon here.
We invite you to three exciting events on April 8-9, listed below. Besides the main lecture, there are two moderated forums — one especially designed for students on careers in healthcare and sports medicine, and one for faculty and graduate students on research.
| Date | Time | Event | Location |
| April 8 | 10:00am | Forum for Students on Careers“From Passion to Profession: Navigating Work, Life, and Leadership in Healthcare & Sports Medicine” Moderated by College of Health faculty Cathy Crowell and Veronica Irvin | MU Horizon Room (or) Zoom |
| April 8 | 4:00pm | Bray Health Leadership Lecture & Reception“Leadership Lessons from Medicine and Sport: Breaking Barriers, Building Futures” RSVP here to help us plan! | MU Horizon Room (or) Zoom |
| April 9 | 9:30am | Forum for Faculty & Graduate Students on Research“Research in Action: Navigating Collaborations to Realize Impact” Moderated by College of Health faculty Sam Johnson and David Rothwell | MU Horizon Room (or) Zoom |
Please share this invitation with your faculty and undergraduate and graduate students: We’d love to have the College of Science join us! If you have any questions, please reach out to Keri.Fisher@oregonstate.edu.
1 Week to Go for the Food Drive!
Hi Food Drive Coordinators!
As a group, we have currently raised $10,813.92 through fundraising events and one-time donations, and $80,857 in payroll contributions! Not counting today, there are just six more business days remaining for the Food Drive; let’s finish strong!
A couple of reminders as we close out the drive:
- If you dropped off a deposit at the Cashiers Office without a loose donation ledger (in addition to the one that you put in the deposit bag) please make sure to send me a copy of your ledger so that I can credit your unit!
- Food Donations: Plan to weigh your food collections before taking them to Surplus. Don’t forget to send me the total weight.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I’m here to help!
Again, thank you so much for what you’re doing to make a difference in our community. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed and I am so thankful to work with a group that has put so much thought, effort and care into making OSU’s Food Drive a success.
Have a wonderful weekend!
ADSE Science Cafe: April 23rd from 6:00 – 8:00 pm
OSU Food Drive – 2 Weeks Remaining

Just a reminder that payroll contributions are still the best way to raise funds! Consider encouraging your unit to sign up! If you’d like to know how much your unit is currently contributing through contributions, send me a note.
Thank you for your continued efforts in making this year’s Food Drive a success! I am so grateful for you.
