Breakfast snacks and drinks will be provided to keep you fueled! 
Transportation will be provided from the LINC at 8:30 a.m.<\/strong>, or you can meet us at the thrift shop (411 SW 3rd St, Corvallis) by ~8:55<\/strong>. Come ready to sort, smile, and serve\u2014whether you\u2019re in it for the puppies, the philanthropy, or the free snacks. RSVP here<\/a>.

NEW! <\/strong>Two Intenship Positions at Hatfield Marine Science Center’s Innovation Lab<\/strong>
The Innovation Lab<\/a> at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, OR is offering two internships starting at the beginning of Summer term 2025 through the calendar year to the end of Spring term 2026. Students will work 10 hours per week during academic terms and 40 hours per week during the summer term. Interns will be provided summer housing on the Hatfield 
campus in Newport, Oregon. In this internship, students will focus on the engineering and design associated with studying the marine world. A background in engineering is not a prerequisite to the internship. The prerequisite for these internships is a desire to develop solutions for problems facing marine research and a broad desire to more deeply explore the marine world. The bulk of the internship will be focused on progressing an independent research\/design project. Interns will also work on designing or manufacturing short-term projects that come through the lab during the internship. These internships are sponsored in full by the Roundhouse Foundation.
Apply here<\/a> by Fri, May 23<\/strong>. For any questions about these internships, please reach out to the Innovation Lab Manager, Drummond Wengrove, at drummond.wengrove@oregonstate.edu.
