Learning Innovation Grants, new eProcurement stuff, and PERs workshops.
NEWS
Congratulations to Hannah Rempel and Karen Hanson of the Graduate School. They had submitted a Scaled Learning Innovation Grant (LIG) proposal earlier in the academic year. This proposal described a plan to develop a Graduate Student Success Center on the 6th floor of the Valley Library. Though the LIG grant was not successful, the University Information and Technology Strategic Leadership team agreed with the LIG Review Team’s that there is a critical need to invest in graduate student support at Oregon State. The UIT has decided to provide $85,545 to fully fund phase one of the renovation plans. Hats off to the others involved in this project as it is the culmination of a prolonged effort to collaborate with the Graduate School to create a shared space in the Valley Library that serves graduate students’ needs.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“...Rather than assuming that education is primarily about preparing for jobs and careers, what would it mean to think of education as a process of guiding kids' participation in public life more generally, a public life that includes social, recreational, and civic engagement.”
