Highlights
Men’s Soccer Intern
CPHHS really likes to emphasize the importance of experiential learning. Lucky for students, the men’s soccer program at OSU is looking for an intern starting in January 2021. This is an opportunity to be immersed in a high-level professional sport environment working with top tier athletes. A successful candidate will understand no job is too big or too small. Roles & responsibilities include managing video equipment, managing training equipment (balls, vests, cones), and assist in recording specific metrics during training sessions. The qualifications include a preferred GPA of 3.0+, a sophomore or junior, and excellent organization skills. This is an unpaid position, but the selected intern will be eligible for athlete priority
registration to select classes before general students. This helps ensure classes & class times are optimal for their schedule & academic plan. If you want to apply, send your resume to Alex Guyer.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
This year, the College of Business is offering free tax preparation services for low to middle-class individuals and families (<$72,000). This includes students, staff, faculty, and community members. Services are available by appointment only from February 1 – March 6. Participants will schedule an initial phone or Zoom interview appointment to confirm they qualify, ensure they have their tax documents, and go over intake forms. Tax document drop-off or upload appointments will be scheduled after that with tax preparation taking place virtually upon documents being received. To learn more about eligibility or register for an appointment, click here or call 541-737-7962. Assistance is also available in Spanish.

Volunteering with COVID Vaccine Distribution
Looking for a way to get more involved with the current state of the world? Benton County actually has a website where people can sign up to volunteer to help with Vaccine Distribution Clinics. If most of the slots are already filled, you can continue to check back in to see what opportunities are available. You also have the opportunity to email the Benton County volunteer coordinators with your interest in volunteering for future events. In addition, Samaritan Health Services also has a COVID vaccination clinic volunteer page.
Marketing Project to Help Children Read
Hey CPHHS students, looking for a way to get some volunteer hours?

Academic Year 2021-2022 Scholarships
Are you looking for scholarships to help pay for your tuition and fees next school year? This year, you will be able to search for both OSU scholarships and external (non-OSU) scholarships using ScholarDollars. The application is open now and will close February 15, 2021 for the College of Public Health and Human Sciences. Start your application now (or during the winter break), and don’t wait until the last minute! All submitted CPHHS applications will be carefully reviewed by a committee of CPHHS faculty members across the college, and once your application is submitted, you won’t be able to edit it.
