Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR is located within the traditional homelands of the Mary's River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya. Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855 (Kalapuya etc. Treaty), Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to reservations in Western Oregon. Today, living descendants of these people are a part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/).
We are living in a global pandemic. Systemic racism, especially anti-Black racism, economic disparities, and a divisive political landscape are additional challenges in our current community. Let us acknowledge that it is an extremely stressful time, with challenges that are affecting some of us in deeper ways than others. As we work together, let’s actively practice compassion, understanding, flexibility, and care. Our safety, health, and well-being are prerequisites to learning. Let’s work together to find creative solutions that promote your well-being and learning. Join me and others across campus as we collectively stay mindful of circumstances, and provide both hope and solidarity toward each other by extending grace generously, giving ourselves and others patience, and honoring the humanity in us all.

Dear OSU Community,
I am pleased to announce that we have a third Provost’s Lecture scheduled for the academic year. I invite you all to join a lecture via Zoom by Ibram X. Kendi on April 14, 2021, at 6:30 p.m.
Dr. Kendi is one of the nation’s leading scholars of antiracism. A National Book Award Winner (2019), Guggenheim Fellow, historian, and three-time New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Kendi is Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities at Boston University, where he founded the BU Center for Antiracist Research.
Professor Kendi’s visit will be the third lecture in the 2020-21 Provost’s Lecture Series. The series, a partnership between my office and the OSU Foundation, aims to bring renowned thinkers and leaders to OSU to engage the University and community on topics of significance.
Two additional upcoming Provost’s Lectures include Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s lecture entitled “The Collapse of Reconstruction and The Roots of White Supremacy” on November 9, 2020, at 5:30 p.m. and Dr. Mae C. Jemison on February 4, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. These events are free and open to the public but require registration. Join the conversation by visiting this page to register.
Best wishes,
Edward Feser Provost and Executive Vice President
