Community Engagement

The PCSBFSA will host its fourth annual State of Black Affairs Summit in Portland on May 21, with registration open until May 4. Summit organizers Shalece Rains, executive assistant in the Division of Academic Affairs, and Tenisha Tevis, associate professor in the College of Education, share some of the goals and history of the commission and summit. 

Thanks to a grant from the Higher Education Coordinating Commission, OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences is partnering with Colorado State University to offer drone piloting and mapping classes to students and community members for free.

The hands-on trainings are spread across the state with options in Bend, Corvallis and Pendleton through late June. There are also online training opportunities so people can tune in from anywhere in Oregon. No prior experience is required; classes are capped at 18 people, and participants must be at least 18 to join.

To better ensure graduating students have the skills and experience needed to secure jobs in ocean-related industries, Oregon State University is hosting a free Blue Economy Workforce Development Workshop in Newport on May 8.

After five months of working solely with on-campus student clients, the Oregon State University Psychology Training Clinic is now opening its doors to the broader community, accepting clients 18 and older for therapy and 14 and older for psychological assessments.
