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 9th. 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 10th 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!

OSU faculty and graduate student researchers are invited to join the OSU Advantage office Oct. 6 (10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) for a one-hour virtual event (offered once in the morning and once in the afternoon) that will describe funding and training opportunities that support innovation and entrepreneurship at the federal, state and OSU levels. At this event, you will also learn how to apply for a special $5,000 Innovation Award available from OSU Advantage. Register here for a Zoom link: https://forms.gle/TkqQC14sa6UbQ8rw9.

The John Templeton Foundation is hosting a funding initiative with the Sloan Foundation, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and Simons Foundation for advancing fundamental physics. 

Goals

The program is intended to support high-risk and potentially high-return small-scale experimental projects aimed at new ambitious discoveries beyond the current frontier of fundamental physics.  “Small scale” refers to table-top size experiments or to ones that could fit in a typical university physics research lab.  Examples of such projects include, but are not limited to, tests of basic principles of quantum physics, tests of interaction laws and established symmetry principles, and searches for new particles.

The first deadline is a brief letter of intent emailed to Simons Foundation before October 31, 2022.

The period of performance is one to five years. They expect annual project budgets to fall between $300,000 and $1,000,000, although there is no specific funding level recommendation. The foundations expect to distribute a combined $20,000,000 over the five years of this program. 

Elizabeth Ocampo in the OSU Foundation would be delighted to help craft LOI submissions with anyone interested in that kind of support.


Sincerely,


Bettye

An open textbook is a textbook licensed under an open copyright license and made available online to be freely used by students, faculty, and members of the public. Faculty teaching on-campus, online or hybrid courses who want to help students save money and create quality learning resources are eligible and invited to apply. All grant recipients will receive assistance from OSU’s Open Educational Resources Unit in locating, adopting or authoring zero-cost course materials. The deadline for the proposal is Nov. 30. More information is available on the OERU opportunities webpage.

Make your course materials more affordable

The next year will be challenging financially for our students. Many have lost their jobs or wages and will have a difficult time making ends meet. Consider moving from a commercial textbook to open educational resources (free and openly licensed course materials). Not only can you make learning more affordable for students, but you may also improve your drop and withdrawal rates by switching. In this workshop, we will look at why “going open” is important and how it gives you more flexibility to create custom course materials. Now is the time to make your course materials more affordable.

1.       Oct. 18 – 10-10:45 a.m. PT

Creative Commons licensing

If you are sharing or want to share the learning materials you have created, you should include a Creative Commons license. This will tell others exactly what they can and cannot do with your work. Learn about the Creative Commons, how it works, how you can share your learning materials and make sure you receive the appropriate attribution. Learn how to find and use materials already under a CC license to enhance your class or course materials.

Open pedagogy

Open pedagogy reconceives the notion of who creates knowledge and provides a pathway to empower students as creators. Shifting student work from “disposable” to “renewable” assignments allows students to learn and create beyond a grade. In this session, you will learn about open pedagogy and explore a process for designing “renewable” assignments.

Sourcing imagesIn our visual culture, digital users rely on images to inform them and help them navigate. Where do you find compelling images that will engage your students without creating copyright headaches? This session will help you find openly licensed visuals online. We’ll discuss Creative Commons licenses; investigate sites such as Flickr and Pixabay; and explore how to upload, place, caption and link your images.
