Meet our Science Ambassadors

Let our team show you around campus

Thanks for your interest in visiting campus!

Meet your College of Science tour guides: Our friendly team of Student Ambassadors! They’re excited to meet you and share an up-close look at what makes science better at OSU.

Spend time with our ambassadors to discover who we are as a college. Serious about science? So are they — they’re STEM majors, too! The ambassadors can’t wait to share their OSU experiences, along with all the opportunities that await you.

These folks will be among the first smiling faces you’ll meet on your Team Science visit. Get to know them more in their bios below, then be sure to schedule your OSU College of Science tour!

Connect with us!

You'll typically find the ambassadors running our daily tours from Kidder Hall, home to our Dean’s Office and the Science Success Center, but you can also reach out directly.

Email us at science.ambassadors@oregonstate.edu and share your questions about being an OSU College of Science student. We'll be happy to set up a Zoom call to chat more!

Biology, option in Pre-Education

Hi, my name is Emily, she/her, and I am a first generation student from Colorado! I am a second year Biology major with the pre-education concentration. Outside of school and work I love to paint and bake some delicious treats. My favorite thing about being a College of Science Ambassador is that I not only get to show off the College, but I also get a chance to help students navigate their path forward. After I finish my degree I am planning to receive my masters degree and then go on to teach middle school science!

she/her

BioHealth Sciences

Hello! My name is Farhanah Muhammad and I’m a biohealth sciences student. I am fascinated by the science of health and medicine, and that's why I picked my major. I enjoy being a student ambassador because I get to meet a lot of new people and can help them understand how the College of Science at Oregon State University is a great place to learn and experience research. What I love about the College of Science is that there are a lot of resources and help that is offered that’s more than enough for me! Outside classes, you will find me hanging out at Indonesian Student Association (Permias) events, running at Dixon, and doing my homework at Valley Library. I also love to sing, cook, and take care of my plants!

Computer Science

Hello, I am a fifth-year computer science student from Denver, CO. After exploring media production in the rolling hills of Washington for four years, I embarked on a new chapter at Oregon State. As an ambassador, I hope to guide students on how to discover high-quality learning opportunities aligned with their passions. After graduation, I want to become a product manager and fill the communication divide between technology and people. During my free time, I play Minecraft, build LEGO robots and ‘play Photoshop’ with silly pictures of my cats.

Zoology

Hello! My name is Lauren and I’m from American Canyon, California. I love being an ambassador of the College of Science because it gives me the opportunity to tell other students about the amazing programs and atmosphere Oregon State and the College of Science offers. I love reading and play tons of video games. I also love going to the beach and hanging out with my friends, but I also enjoy staying inside to relax. After college, I hope to become a wildlife biologist or work in species management.

Honors Biology

Hi there! My name is Matt, he/him, and I’m here all the way from New York to study Biology and research! I’m a transfer student in my junior year and am part of the Honors College. A big reason I chose OSU was the emphasis on research, the abundant student support, and the natural beauty that surrounds our campus here in Oregon. Outside of class (and meeting you!), you can find me exploring nature, painting and drawing (find me painting outdoors on campus–it’s like a Where’s Waldo situation), playing music, or holed up in some corner of campus knocking out homework. I’m happy to connect and discuss what you’ll expect when you come to OSU; I understand college can be daunting, which is why I’m here to talk it through with you. Welcome to OSU and Go Beavs!

Biology, option in Physiology and Behavior, minor in Psychology

Hi there, my name is Paige, she/her, and I am a junior biology student with an option in physiology and behavior. I am also getting a minor in psychology. I am originally from California but came to Oregon a few years ago. When I am not in class I play banjo, video games, and study. When I graduate, I plan to pursue neurobiology research so I can contribute to my community. As a College of Science Ambassador, I hope to start my contributions early by providing information and inspiration to pursue an education fit for you.

Chemistry

Apart from school, I dedicate most of my time to the Oregon State University Marching Band. I also enjoy rock climbing, swimming and outdoor activities in general. I'm currently pursuing a major in Advanced Chemistry and have been working in Dr. May Nyman's lab since May 2022. My experience at OSU has been wonderful, and I plan to come back for my M.S. in chemistry after I graduate, with the goal of pursuing a career in the chemical side of enology. Being an ambassador is amazing as it allows me to share my enthusiasm and highlight what makes this institution exceptional!
