Alumni HappeningsFall 2025

Game Time

Join the fun at OSUAA Tailgate Town before OSU Football games. You’ll find great food, fun activities and Beaver spirit at the Alumni Center at Oregon State before all home games, as well as at many games on the road. Don’t miss our themed tailgaters: Oct. 11: Multicultural Alumni & Friends; Nov. 1: AgSci Land-Grant Showdown; and Nov. 8: Beavs, Brews & BBQs. For the full tailgate schedule, see here.

Be a Mentor

Support the next generation of Beavers by becoming a mentor through OSU Connections. In as little as one hour a week, you can guide a student as they navigate college and plan for their future. Following successful programs in the Colleges of Business and Engineering, more colleges are ready to launch mentoring programs, but they need alumni like you to make it happen. Sign up here.

Howdy, Class of 2025! 

This June, more than 8,000 graduates rode off into the sunset as the newest members of the Beaver alumni family — now 230,000-plus strong! We sent them off in style with nearly 750 seniors wrangling some fun at our Western-themed Grad Night, complete with boots, line dancing and plenty of OSU pride. Hundreds more saddled up for the Sweet Beginnings Commencement celebration. Want to tip your hat to the newest Beavs? Send a message here.
