Today in the News Media is a synopsis of some of the most prominent coverage of OSU people and programs. Inclusion of any item constitutes neither an endorsement nor a critique, but rather is intended only to make the OSU community aware of significant items in the media.

It is not the policy of OSU Today to include Letters to the Editor.
A piece by OSU President F. King Alexander.
Michael Campana, a professor of hydrogeology and water resources management at the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University has been excitedly following the case since its inception.
Tiah Edmunson-Morton, a host of a Beer Culture Summit happy hour, says that when she started the Oregon Hops and Brewing Archives at Oregon State University in 2013 she had no one to consult, and a graduate student who wanted to write her dissertation on craft beer in Portland struggled to convince her advisors of its merits.
The study’s co-authors included researchers at OHSU’s Department of Medicine; the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at Oregon State University; and Outside In, a Portland-based federally qualified health center.
Oregon State University brought its TRACE Community COVID-19 testing program to Eugene, sending three-member teams – one OSU student, one UO student and one professional – to city neighborhoods to collect nasal-swab samples from hundreds of residents and sewage samples from around Eugene and Springfield.
TRACE OSU is providing random COVID-19 testing by invitation for around 1,000 students, staff and faculty per week at its Corvallis and Bend campuses and at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Elizabeth Thomas said, “I believe that testing is an important piece of public health measures to combat the spread of the virus. By participating, I'm saying that I care about our community. Also, I think that the more people who enroll at Oregon State in TRACE OSU, the better data that we will have. I also know that people can sometimes have the virus but be asymptomatic, and most people do not get the opportunity to be tested unless they are presenting symptoms, so I feel lucky to have a chance at that opportunity.” Please join the effort to build a safer and healthier Oregon State University community.
