When at work

I reduce in size.

Sometimes not.

Merger Accomplished…

CBEE

After many months of work, the OSU Departments of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering are now officially merged into the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering, effective Fall 2007, as approved by the Faculty Senate on May 10, 2007 and the Provost on May 21, 2007. Over the summer, we will be updating verbiage pertaining to our new name and developing the school Web site (to be located at cbee.oregonstate.edu).

GRADUATION INFORMATION AND UPDATES

Below is the link to the OSU graduation information page.  If you have questions about the OSU ceremony the answers should be found there:

Graduation will be here before we know it!

They will schedule a sitting for you. 

 

Department Graduation

IF YOU ARE GRADUATING and HAVE NOT NOTIFIED ME OF THE NUMBER OF FAMILY YOU WILL BE HAVING AS GUESTS– PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY!  Karen/737-2491 or karen.kelly@oregonstate.edu or stop by the office. **Thanks to all of those that have stopped in or sent emails.  I appreciate the time you have taken to help me plan for guests at the celebration!

----

The general program runs as follows:

The ceremonies are held outside of Gleeson Hall.  There are bleachers and chairs so there will be plenty of room for family and friends. 

The program begins between 8:30 and 8:45 depending on how quickly everyone can get seated.  Coffee and other goodies are provided both before and after the ceremonies in the main lobby.

There will be speeches by the chair, the dean, faculty and students.  Awards will be given and each of you will be acknowledged before your guests.

There will then be a time for the taking of the group graduation picture and time for photos with family and friends.  During and after this time there is a reception with refreshments in Gleeson 100. 

The whole affair should be completed by 11:45 leaving plenty of time for you and your family to attend the OSU graduation beginning at 2:00.

If you need more information, please stop by the office.

----

TIME IS RUNNING OUT “OR” MOVING FORWARD RAPIDLY!!!

Please email Jennifer (if you have not already done so) if you are interested in planning/helping with the student portion of the graduation celebration.

Jennifer Kanaan @ kanaanje@onid.orst.edu - let her know you are interested in helping plan something.  An email went out to all of the graduating seniors last Tuesday with ideas and suggestions.  This is your graduation celebration – make it fun and full of memories!!

This is a calendar reminder to cordially invite you to our ‘meet and greet’ reception during this Centennial Portland, Oregon Rose Festival, June 8th, 2007.

As a influential community leader/mentor to whom others look to for guidance on future career choices, we would like to afford you the opportunity to obtain greater first hand knowledge about the Navy and what it has to offer with a short tour aboard a U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer or Cruiser.  Following the tours, we will walk a few blocks down the pier to 112 SW 2nd Avenue, for a small reception at Kell’s Irish Pub Restaurant.  If you (or anyone you feel) would like to join us Friday, June 8th, please RSVP me via email, with your name and date of birth. Paul.Hudgens@navy.mil
