OSU alum Cheering in the NFL

Monday, August 8th, 2011

It’s one thing to be a great athlete or a great academic. It’s another to be both. Lindsey Yoder (’09, BS in ChemicalEngineering) was always a dedicated student, having been involved in the Chemical, Biological, & Environmental Engineering Student Club, the OSUAthletic Club, and the college’s ambassador program. Now, the OSU graduate is an automation engineer at Merck and a top-notch athlete.

We want to congratulate Lindsey and wish her good luck in both interests. Go Beavers!

Gard, an Oregon State University Extended Campus (Ecampus) graduate from Casper, Wyo., was a finalist for the university’s prestigious Waldo-Cummings Award, given annually to 10 university seniors in recognition of academic excellence.   It was a long shot, he figured, but his wife, Becky, sent him constant updates via text message while she watched and listened from Wyoming.
