When Chelsea Chao started in OSU’s College of Engineering as a freshman, she didn’t know what she wanted to pursue.

But when she started working with a microbiologist mentor in the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, a light bulb went off and she locked in on bioengineering with the goal of working in pharmaceuticals to fight diseases.

“I feel like that research really shaped my whole academic trajectory,” Chao said. “I’m really glad I took that step.”

With classes starting this week, OSU’s Basic Needs Center is prepared to assist any students who might need guidance on finding important resources like housing, food, affordable textbooks and more.

It all starts with a conversation.

For the last six decades, Oregon State University’s college radio station, KBVR-FM 88.7, has been connecting its listeners to a broad and eclectic collection of music, talk shows and sports news that only a college station can provide.

KBVR first went on the air in October 1965. It is currently home to 140 volunteer student DJs and hosts more than 100 hours of weekly programming. It has recently been ranked among the top college radio stations in the country by College Media Association.
