The COVID-19 pandemic is creating a surging interest in science and medicine, attracting a new generation of students to a career in medicine. Enrollment in the College of Science’s pre-med program at Oregon State University has also remained high, with numbers averaging 90-100 pre-med students annually since 2019.
The university-wide Beaver Connect mentoring program is one of several ambitious initiatives that have helped undergraduate student success, leading to the highest ever first-year retention rate of 85.4% at Oregon State University.
Congratulations to senior chemistry instructor Daniel Myles and biochemistry and biophysics professor Kevin Ahern for winning the very first Oregon State Phi Beta Kappa Society student awards!
