Words from the Dean<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

June 2017<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After a productive academic year and a record-breaking number of graduating seniors in our College and at the University too, the summer begins with a giant exhale. The quieter campus is a chance for us all to reflect and rejuvenate before the new academic year begins in full force. May you enjoy the summer, whether it be continuing your research, teaching a course or two, developing new pedagogical methods, working on a grant proposal, or enjoying some much-needed time in the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important part of our 5-year strategic plan is to continue to strive for faculty excellence.  Along those lines, I am very excited about several new and ongoing initiatives to support you in all that you do and to reward faculty achievement and innovation, even in this time of budget tightening. For example, there are three new faculty awards, the Impact Award, Dean\u2019s Early Career Impact Award and \u00adthe latest, a new College of Science Faculty Scholars for Teaching Excellence Award<\/a>. This newly endowed, three-year faculty scholar position supports excellence and innovation in teaching, with a flexible use of funds ($12,500 per year). All faculty are welcome to apply by August 1\u2014see News section below for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will also continue to maintain and grow the new support for faculty grant proposals that we began in 2016-17, through workshops like last year\u2019s NSF CAREER Proposal Workshop and Bettye Maddox\u2019s resources for grant proposal development<\/a>. Next year, we are planning new educational opportunities to improve our collective science communication skills so that our work can be more visible and attract more media coverage and public engagement. Your ideas are certainly worth spreading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also excited to announce some terrific news on the fundraising front. We raised a record-breaking $6.2 million this year. This does not happen without the excellent work of our department heads, faculty, students, staff and folks (Anne Murphy, Tom McLennan and Elizabeth Ocampo) from the OSU Foundation. A $2 million foundation grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to support research for PISCO is worth noting. See the Fundraising section below for the whole story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of finances, we are working on a 3-year financial plan to improve efficiencies, to enhance revenue\u2014especially through online courses and degree programs\u2014and to invest strategically to enhance student and faculty success and revenue generation. I appreciate the help from our departments, our leadership team and an advisory group consisting of Sherm Bloomer, Director of OSU Budget and Fiscal Planning, Mark Zabriskie, Dean of the College of Pharmacy and Dan Edge, Associate Dean of the College of Agricultural Science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key component of our 5-year strategic plan is to improve student success, which the College will continue to invest in after making major strides last year. With more infrastructure in place \u2013 including key hires, a peer advisor program and new office space in Kidder Hall\u2014 the Science Success Center has opened its doors to coordinate more student success initiatives for the College next year. This will alleviate some of the pressure from our departments to create and serve such efforts on their own. We believe that a unified effort will be both more efficient and more helpful to students, with consistent advising resources, especially since many students work across departments or change majors. Recruitment, retention and graduation of our students will not only help us realize our goal to build diverse leaders in science, but it will also enhance our revenue to support our research and discoveries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two new developments in student success that I am very excited about. First of all, as you may know, summer is peak season for advising as advisors are hard at work orienting the next class of scientists in the summer-long \u201cSTART\u201d program. Orientation is a window of opportunity to improve student success in our College. This year, Heather Arbuckle and Jennifer McKee, along with the help of our advisors and marketing team, are enhancing START materials with new academic planners for students, welcome videos, and revitalized live presentations. This approach is designed to make sure all of our students are aware of the many available resources to help them be successful in science. This will lay a strong foundation for student retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, we are also launching a \u201cSummer Melt\u201d campaign for the first time in order to encourage students who have been admitted and many of whom have paid their deposit to enroll and show up in September and not \u201cmelt away.\u201d The students most at risk are first generation and underrepresented students who may be unfamiliar with the college financial aid and admissions process and lack support over the summer when they are away from daily guidance of college counselors at their schools. Doubt can often creep in as can the fear of how to pay for college or of assuming student debt. Thanks Debbie, Staci and Gabrielle for leading this effort. We are holding three webinars in July<\/a> with Admissions and Financial Aid to offer direct help to students struggling with whether to enroll in the fall. As with our marketing and other efforts, this should help us recruit a diverse set of outstanding students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, as I don\u2019t often get to meet with many of you during the busy academic year, please feel free to stop by my office and say hello. I will be here for most of the summer, aside from a trip to Seattle to meet some of our alumni and a trip to Baltimore in late July to present some seminars at the 2017 Joint Statistics Meetings. But I look forward to connecting with some of you over the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for all you have done this past year to make our College shine, to continue to move us forward toward our strategic goals and to guiding a record-breaking class of undergraduate and graduate students to a successful graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you all have a wonderful summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am delighted to report that we have raised more than $6.2 million\u2014 in gifts, pledges and private grants. This is outstanding, and a good indicator supporting yet more ambitious fundraising goals in our future. We are so grateful for our loyal alumni and friends who continue to invest in our faculty and student success, especially in these challenging times, and we appreciate the allies in our OneScience Community who share news of our research and the public value of science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a $2 million David and Lucile Packard Foundation grant, PISCO<\/strong><\/a> (Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans) will be able to advance their critical West Coast marine science research, as well as increase the consortium\u2019s global impact by training the next generation of interdisciplinary marine scientists and continuing to build a database that is accessible to marine researchers worldwide. Founded in 1999 by marine biologists Bruce Menge and Jane Lubchenco and collaborator Steve Gaines, PISCO is a consortium that maps intertidal communities from Mexico to Alaska and the climate cycles that affect them. The current grant has Bruce Menge as the lead PI, and Francis Chan and Jack Barth as co-PIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We awarded we more than $900K in scholarships<\/strong><\/a> to 223 current science students\u2014from nearly 700 applicants this year\u2014for merit, need and undergraduate research experiences for the 2017-18 academic year. This represents an increase of nearly 17% more in scholarship funding for our students. Thanks to the generous support of alumni and friends, we awarded 307 College and departmental scholarships and summer research fellowships. We appreciate the help from our advisors and faculty who have helped with the selection process and help steward the gifts. Also, we are particularly grateful to Heather Arbuckle and Tze-Yiu Yong in our office for their long hours in organizing, selecting and documenting the scholarships, and for sending the Thank You letters to many of our supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students in our College received 1,134 scholarships totaling more than $4.9M for the upcoming year! These include Presidential and Provost Scholarships, Academic Achievement Scholarships and Diversity Scholarships, adminstered by the enrollment office.

OSU offered incoming science students 1,679 scholarships, totaling $8.3M. However, just 570 new students accepted the scholarship awards of more than $2.6M, with some students receiving multiple award offers. The good news is that more than half of the incoming class of 2021 has received some type of scholarship support through the enrollment office! We are very grateful to our donors who support these scholarships that are adminstered centrally through the enrollment office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
