OSU RESEARCH SLOGAN CONTEST- A MESSAGE FROM CINDY
The RO has just closed the books on another year of record research revenue. Congratulations, everyone, on bringing home $441M in research revenue! We are now THE LARGEST RESEARCH UNIVERSITY IN OREGON!
To acknowledge our ascension to supremacy, the VPR is launching an unofficial slogan contest. Your submission:
- May convey OSU’s utter and complete domination in research
- May not use of foul language or suggest abuse of our neighbor to the south
- Can be submitted by RO staff, staff friends, staff family and members of the Graduate School
- Must be received by COB, Monday, August 14
Submit your entry to Jane Cigarran at jane.cigarran@oregonstate.edu. Entries will be given a unique identifier and submitted anonymously to a blue ribbon panel of RO talent: Mimi Poitras, Susan Tillitt, and Susan Emerson. Panelists will review entries and make a recommendation to the VPR. The winner will be announced in the next edition of the Research Office newsletter and will receive a certificate from one of Corvallis’s finest restaurants. Good luck and may the best punster win!
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS- RO PARTY COMMITTEE
You may recall that in a recent office poll we have asked you to let us know your thoughts on planning RO events, holiday parties, etc. Your responses told us that the majority of you enjoy our office gatherings but don’t necessarily need them to be fully catered or after hours. Breezeway events and lunch time potlucks are also enjoyed by most. Given our need pay attention to financial constraints, we are hoping to plan more office fun gatherings but with a somewhat reduced budget. We also want to make sure that the RO team has role in planning these events. To that end, we are looking for volunteers to join an RO Party Committee! If this sounds like something you would be interested in participating in, the time commitment would be minimal and creative, new ideas for RO team fun are required! Thanks for considering joining the committee…do to so, send mail to: jane.cigarran@oregonstate.edu
KEURIG MACHINE IN B306 OUT OF ORDER
As we think about possible fixes for this woe, is anyone using the Keurig machine that is located in B308? We believe the one in B306 is still being used by some. If the B308 Keurig is not being used we may move it to A312. Please let Mimi know if the B308 Keurig IS being used by staff, in which case we’ll leave it as is.
