Oregon State University faculty members are constantly producing books in their areas of expertise, from botany to mechanical engineering to cinema. These books are read around the world and are published by a wide variety of academic and popular presses, ranging from academic works used in classrooms to works of fiction that make their way into homes and library bookshelves.
Each year, Oregon State honors its faculty authors with an Authors and Editors Recognition, celebrating the accomplishment of those who have had books published the previous calendar year. In 2025, 32 authors and editors are being celebrated for their works at a reception from 5-7 p.m., Monday, Feb. 24, in the Toomey Lobby of PRAx.
The works, which were submitted by their authors for consideration, must feature faculty members who are the principal author or co-author, or editor of collections and volumes of original scholarship.
“Publication of these books is an important dimension to faculty creativity that goes through a rigorous peer review process and is an important part of validating their work,” said Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Alix Gitelman.
