What do Dad’s Weekend, pumpkin bread, poached salmon, and a bunch of guys in gear rattling an inflatable helmet have to do with the OSU Libraries? And how does Doug Schulte fit into the mix?

Saturday brought Sue Kunda, Tiah Edmunson-Morton, and (super famous) student employee of the year for Oregon (Doug) to the President’s Breakfast and fancy football game suite! Joined by his dad, Doug spoke to a small gathering of student and university leaders in the Alumni Center, reflecting on both his experience in ROTC and the limitless fun he has working for the OSU Archives. After filling ourselves with a delicious breakfast, we headed over to the VIP entrance of the stadium and up to the exclusive 4th floor suites, where we ate more, drank a little, and enjoyed the blowout game against the Huskies — all from the comfort of our movie theater style chairs, covered in Beaver orange blankets, with the sun warming us behind the retractable windows.

All glitz and good food aside, it was an honor to be there with Doug and his father to recognize the great contributions he has made to the Archives. We are really lucky to have such a talented bunch working here, and I was proud to introduce Doug, who is certainly Powered by Orange, to an even wider audience!

And yes, there is a Flickr set… See the Flickr set.
