You might consider enrolling in Polymer Synthesis and Processing, CHE 446/546, spring term, offered by Dr. Kaichang Li in CBEE. Chemistry majors in the past have applied this course to help meet career electives for Track 1 and some Track 2 options, e.g., advanced chemistry, materials science and chemical engineering options. This is a lecture course. (Previously listed as special topics (CHE 499/599) now approved as a regular course (CHE446/546)).
Ideal candidates will be pursuing a graduate degree in agronomy, environmental science, agricultural/animal sciences, or similar. (MS, MESM, MBA, or equivalent) for internship related to farm stewardship, resource conservation and environmental protection.
We are hosting an intern in our Farm Services department this summer focused on environmental stewardship. Could you share with the career center there so that graduate students at OSU are aware of the opportunity?
Farm Stewardship Intern – with Tillamook County Creamery Association
Our full list of all of our positions is available here: Career Opportunities – Tillamook. We do have a number of internships available for the summer, as well as full time positions in many departments.
I am currently writing a science fiction novel and I am trying to inject as much real science into it as I can. I can kind of hold my own with topics like physics and astronomy, but what eludes me is a decent understanding of chemistry. I am hoping you, or someone in your department, could help me solve a design problem I have with a futuristic tool, which I have conceptualized for the book.
Please, email me back if you are interested in getting more information about the design and wish to help, or if you can direct me to someone who can / will.

Science fiction has been the inspiration for many advancements in science and engineering.
OSU’s Open Education Resources Unit has a goal to lower the cost of learning for students. Open educational resources (OER) aim to increase the world’s access to knowledge through low- and no-cost open textbooks and reusable, digital learning materials. Through the use of OER, OSU students have saved nearly $10 million since the winter of 2019.
This spring, the Open Educational Resources Unit — a part of the division of Ecampus — is hosting several professional development opportunities for faculty to learn more about OER and how to implement them in their courses.
Open Education Week — March 7-11
This weeklong, online event gives educators and students an opportunity to learn more about open educational practices and be inspired by the work being developed around the world, including by Oregon State faculty. View the schedule of events and register »
Think Open Symposium — May 16
Join us for an in-person symposium in OSU’s CH2M HILL Alumni Center that will feature lively presentations and discussions on OER, open pedagogy and open access. Hear from faculty and education professionals who have firsthand experience with OER and can speak to the positive impact they have on students.
Here is a list of the day’s events. You can join us for the full day or as your schedule allows:

We hope to see you and members of your college there!
All the best,
