IMPACT

Science at Oregon State University has been a trailblazer since OSU's designation as a land-grant college in 1868.

Physics alumnus Shane Larson is part of the LIGO team behind the revolutionary astronomy discovery of the merger of two neutron stars.

Solar Eclipse 2017 was a stellar moment for the validity of astronomy, for science itself and for OSU astronomer Randall Milstein.

Nearly 800 students gathered for Discovery Days on campus to experience the rich and diverse world of science Oct. 31 - Nov. 1, 2017.

Twenty five percent of freshmen are the first in their family to attend college, 23 percent are underrepresented minorities, and the College has the highest ever number of high achieving students in this incoming class: 37.6 percent.

The College of Science celebrated research, teaching and administrative excellence at its 2017 Fall Faculty and Staff Awards.

Congratulations to Heidi Schellman, physics department head, for being chosen as Chair of Commission 11 of the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics!

The Career Development Advanced Career Bootcamp for science students will take place on Saturday, October 28.

Applications are open for Oregon's top academic and professional fellowship program: The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry's OMSI Science Communication Fellowship.

More than a month before a game-changing detection of a short gamma-ray burst – a finding announced today – scientists at Oregon State University predicted such a discovery would occur.

Physics undergraduates had an outstanding summer in 2017! At least 20 physics undergraduates engaged in significant research projects all over the country, including OSU physics labs.

Science students receive second highest number of scholarships at OSU totaling more than $7.5 million, more than triple the amount awarded in 2015.
