Since 2003, they have supported the university with 178 awards totaling over a million dollars. They are seeking applications for programs and projects which enhance the OSU undergraduate student experience and improve student retention. The average grant amount is $5,000-$10,000. 

Applications may be submitted from any organization, college, department, center, or campus that are relevant to Oregon State University including the OSU Cascades Campus, 4-H, and Extension. The application deadline has been extended to Monday, January 9, 2023 at 9 a.m. Applications, additional criteria, and further information can be found at fororegonstate.org/wgc_grant or by contacting the Women’s Giving Circle staff liaison, Sara Dier.

Dear OSU Graduate Faculty,

As part of an ongoing strategic partnership with the Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL), the OSU Graduate School is pleased to announce that applications for the 2023 PNNL-OSU Distinguished Graduate Research Program (DGRP) are open effective today.

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory – Oregon State University Distinguished Graduate Research Program (PNNL-OSU DGRP) is a four-year opportunity designed to provide collaborative research and training to OSU graduate students. Students selected to participate in the program will benefit from having the expertise of graduate committee members from both organizations and access to the world-class research infrastructure at OSU and PNNL. The DGRP is a four-year program in which years one and two are funded by OSU, namely through department or faculty grants. During years three and four, PNNL will fund the student’s stipend and benefits, the OSU Graduate School will provide a tuition waiver, and the student will be primarily located at PNNL. An essential requirement of the program is that the co-advisors from the OSU and PNNL must be willing to support the student in the proposed collaboration research topic. Additionally, the OSU advisor must be on a full-time faculty appointment. 

The Graduate School is soliciting applications to the 2023 PNNL-OSU DGRP cohort. Nominees must be first year or second year Ph.D. students in STEM and related science and engineering disciplines at OSU. We are particularly interested in attracting outstanding students that represent the existing and emerging areas of collaboration with PNNL. A maximum of five students will be selected for 2023 cohort.

Since OSU’s Ph.D. programs have a variety of recruiting and admission timelines, we have set the priority deadline for applications to the DGRP as February 20, 2023. Interested faculty should identify a potential student applicant, PNNL collaborator, and complete the online application. Eligibility requirements, award details, and the nomination procedure are available on the Graduate School website at https://gradschool.oregonstate.edu/awards/pnnl-osu. 

If you have any questions, please email DGRP@oregonstate.edu.

Do you have faculty at Oregon State​ who might be interested in submitting a short proposal to these opportunities?

I wanted to highlight several packaging opportunities in particular, with funding ranging up to $100,000 (with potential follow-on). Those have received the fewest proposals so far.

My best,

Zoe

Hello all.

We’re excited to be kicking off Gallo Winery’s 2023 intern recruiting efforts. I’m reaching out to let you know about the internship opportunities for the 2023 harvest season and to ask that you please share this information with your students. We look forward to having some OSU students/alumni for our 2023 harvest season!

Our internship job descriptions can be found via the TinyUrls below, on Handshake, or at https://www.gallocareers.com/. All current Gallo employment opportunities are available at  https://www.gallocareers.com/

Our Talent Acquisition team has suggested that we recruit in the fall to get the best students for our internships. Offers will be extended as we meet qualified applicants. Therefore, we encourage students to apply early while the maximum number of internships are available.

We will be on-campus to present on our 2023 internship opportunities at the Food and Fermentation Science Club meeting on November 9^th. That event will be held in the Wiegand Hall Auditorium (115) from 5-6pm. I’ve attached a flyer for that event. Please share this with your students.  We will follow-up with Meet & Greets on November 10^th in Wiegand Hall. Folks interested in learning more about our internships and/or Gallo opportunities in general can sign up to meet with our on-campus recruiting team. Sign-ups can be made through Calendly or please contact Deborah Gould (Deborah.Gould@oregonstate.edu). The Food Science and Technology Department has graciously provided rooms for these events, yet we hope to see students from various majors.

Please let me know if you or the students have questions. 

Thank you!
