What is engagement work? What is its impact on OSU and our surrounding community?

In addition to being the largest research university in Oregon, we hold the highest full-time student enrollment of any public university in the state, and we have a community presence in all 36 counties. This trifecta of cutting-edge research, student accomplishment, and active public engagement are intrinsically intertwined.”
