Students “Thank a Vet”
Oregon State University’s student-run Healthy Aging Club hosted its second annual “Thank a Vet” activity at the SEC Plaza last week. More than 160 thank you notes were created by members of the OSU community. The notes were delivered to residents at the Oregon Veterans Home in Lebanon on Veterans Day.
It’s been an exciting year for College of Public Health and Human Sciences’ public health sophomore and OSU Beavers quarterback Marcus McMaryion. He was recently put in as the team’s starting quarterback after two of his teammates suffered injuries. He also changed his major from kinesiology to public health.
Six College of Public Health and Human Sciences students not only studied abroad in London for three weeks and earned nine public health credits this summer, they were also a part of history in the making.
Life’s a beach
About 200 students receive scholarships or fellowships in the CPHHS each year, totaling more than $400,000. And each year, the college recognizes their achievement. For the last two years, that recognition was in the form of a pizza party, where students took time to write letters to the donors who support their education – and also have a little fun.
Studying abroad in a country where you don’t speak the native tongue may sound scary at first. But according to CPHHS students who participated in the Fu Jen University Exchange trip to Taiwan, it’s an experience of a lifetime.
