This page gathers blog posts of the major stories from the Fall 2011 issue of the Oregon Stater magazine, which was printed by the OSU Alumni Association and sent on Sept. 7, 2011 to alumni and friends of OSU.
It does not include all of the content from the print version of magazine. Full content of the most recent issue – in both Flex Page and PDF formats – is available at www.osualum.com/stater.
The Stater’s main mission in all of its forms is to foster stronger connections among OSU alumni and between the alumni and the university.
Production and mailing costs of the print version of the Stater, and of the three online versions – this blog, the Flex Page Stater and the PDFs – are underwritten mainly through the generosity of dues-paying members of the OSU Alumni Association, with substantial assistance from the OSU Foundation. Membership in the alumni association is open to all; information on joining is available at www.osualum.com/membership. Donors can also support the magazine directly by giving to the Oregon Stater Fund through the Campaign for OSU at the OSU Foundation.
