Several OSULP faculty are the recipients of awards.

Robert Lundeen Library Faculty Development Award: 

The Lundeen Award supports meaningful faculty development through the pursuit of scholarship or through professional capacity building.

• Professors Lindsay Marlow, Kelly McElroy, Natalia Fernandez, and  Steve Van Tuyl received $3000 for a project focused on gathering and sharing the stories of first generation students, faculty and staff at Oregon State University.
• Professor Stefanie Buck will apply her award of $1900 to attend the 2018 Qualtrics Summit and expand her existing expertise teaching Qualtrics for research purposes. 

Bob Lundeen, former member of the Libraries’ Advisory Council, established the Lundeen Award in 2003. A committed supporter of his alma mater, he was employed most of his career at Dow Chemical where he eventually became the chairman of the board. He also was the CEO and board chair of Tektronix. In addition to this award, Bob and his wife Betty established a number of scholarships to benefit Oregon State University students. 

Libraries Student Internship Program Fund

OSULP sponsors multiple internships throughout the year through various fund. The Libraries Student Internship Program Fund was created from the estate gift of Ramona Barnard to establish our student internship program. Though not an alumna, Mrs. Barnard was a huge Beaver fan. She worked for a short time at OSU's Comptroller's office but most of her career she helped to run her husband's building contracting firm, Barnard and Kinney, where she was the unofficial CFO. 

Hui Zhang, OSULP’s internship coordinator, issued the call for internship proposals in the late spring and we are funding two projects:

• Chris Petersen, Senior Faculty Research Assistant in SCARC,will be coordinating an internship project ($3000) entitled "Voices of a Warming Planet: OSU Perspectives on Climate Change, An Oral History Project.”
• Clara Llebot Lorente, Assistant Professor in Teaching and Engagement, will oversee an internship project called "Communication Toolkit for Data Sharing.”

Congratulations to all of these faculty members for their successful proposals.  We can all look forward to hearing about their efforts in the coming academic year.

Branding Tips from Daniel Moret

Last week, we looked at the university’s new brand positioning statement, and today we’ll look at brand personality.

Here’s some excerpts from the Brand Guide:

Personality

Our institution shares many characteristics with our beloved mascot, the beaver. These qualities help define the way our brand should look and feel – creating alignment between who we are authentically as an institution and how our brand comes to life. Our personality traits shape the tone and voice of our brand, driving the image for all of our communications. Each of our brand’s traits was chosen deliberately, informed by a deep understanding of what it means to be a Beaver.

Gritty and hard-working

Determined

Confident

Collaborative

Visionary

Conscientious

Welcoming, friendly, open to all and enriched by difference
