OSU-Cascades in Bend is building on Oregon State’s tradition of academic excellence, with an edge that’s all our own. Nearly 1,300 students are enrolled at OSU-Cascades, and 45% of them are from Central Oregon. Our students are challenged to go beyond the expected, discover what’s possible and make the world better.
The Becky Johnson and Lori Elkins Endowed Scholarship Fund recognizes the leadership and legacy of Becky Johnson, who served as Vice President of OSU-Cascades for 13 years.
This fund provides scholarships to OSU-Cascades students with financial need. “Lori and I are very grateful for the incredible generosity of so many donors and supporters for OSU-Cascades students in need,” said Johnson. “During my many years at OSU and OSU-Cascades, I saw firsthand how scholarships made higher education possible for students and transformed their lives. We couldn’t be more pleased that this scholarship in our names will help deserving students gain access to OSU-Cascades.”
The Laboratory for The American Conversation seeks to find new years forward on divisive issues. The Lab’s methodology uses social theory, discourse analysis and large-scale surveys to uncover what values communities express when they enter into public discourse, and what threats they are trying to avoid.
OSU-Cascades has set aside funding to assist OSU-Cascades students who are experiencing unexpected financial hardship that interferes with academic progress.
