Winter 2024 - Week 10

Students,

Good morning and welcome to the last week of regular classes for this term. If I have any announcements, I will put out a Finals Week Weekly Info. If not, I want to wish everyone good luck on your finals and final projects. I do have one email to follow. Have a good Spring Break.

Spring Term Registration Phase 1 will be open until Wednesday, March 13 for anyone that hasn’t registered yet. Registration will not be available during the day on Thursday, March 14. Phase II starts on Thursday, March 14 at 8:30pm. You can check your day and time just as if you did for Phase I, but see Phase II. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Job/Internship Posting Information:

When conducting your jo or internship search it is important to be aware of any possible misrepresentations that may exist.  Therefore, we encourage you to read the following information so that you avoid any unfortunate situations.

Oregon State University College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS) makes no representation, warranty or guarantee about the positions listed. CAS does not prescreen employment or internship opportunities that are submitted. By using the resources available, you are assuming full responsibility for your safety, security, wages, working conditions, fraudulent, or other aspects of any off-campus employment/internship opportunities that you discover while using CAS resources.

This is a great event to explore more about the Event Partnership opportunity with the Women in Agribusiness Summit.
