Come Home for Homecoming

We can’t wait to welcome you back to campus during OSU’s Homecoming celebrations this Oct. 18-20. Watch the Beavs square off against University of Nevada, Las Vegas; join in Class of “4’s” reunions (’04, ’94, ’84, ’74, ’64, ’54); celebrate our new Homecoming Court Ambassadors; dig into the Homecoming Pancake Breakfast; and more.

Work Your Connections

OSU Connections, our Beavers-only online networking hub, is packed with opportunities for leveling up your career. Go to OSU Connections to find one-on-one mentoring opportunities; webcasts and workshops; a directory of OSU alumni, students and staff; job and internship listings; the Beaver Business Directory; and more.

Show Up for Beaver Football

Now more than ever, it’s important for Beaver Nation to support our student-athletes. That means we’re rooting for you to join us at OSUAA Tailgate Town prior to every football game.  Don’t miss food, fun, friends and special activities before each home game at the CH2M HILL Alumni Center and at Beaver road games. Bonus: We’re bringing back three popular themed tailgaters: Oct. 19: The 8th Annual Multicultural Alumni & Friends Tailgater; Nov. 9: Beavs, Brews & BBQs; Nov. 23: Ag Sciences Tailgate. If you can’t make a game in person, show your support by tuning in on TV. 

Welcome, Class of 2024!

More than 7,600 students joined the ranks of Oregon State alumni this June and we celebrated them in style. Nearly 700 seniors attended the disco-themed Grad Night; hundreds gathered at the first annual Sweet Beginnings celebration, complete with See’s Candies for every grad; and the OSUAA helped arrange 16 featured alumni speakers, including Commencement speaker, Steven Jackson, ’20. Visit here to share a congratulatory message with new grads.
