A university that fuels a thriving world
By combining exceptional research and teaching with an unparalleled capacity to partner with public and private stakeholders, Oregon State will serve as a powerful engine for widely shared, environmentally sustainable prosperity in our state, the nation and the world.
Working with partners in industry, government and education, we will help strengthen economies and communities by sharing Oregon State’s discoveries and capacity for joint problem-solving and by continuously adapting to the future of work in how we teach and prepare students for careers. We will be among the nation’s leaders in translating research to applications that contribute solutions to the world’s greatest challenges in areas like food, water, energy and climate change. We will be proactive and collaborative in creating the vision for — and helping to realize — dynamic, innovative and entrepreneurial economies and communities.
Purposefully engaging all disciplines, we will connect the analytic, humanistic and aesthetic in innovative ways to contribute understanding of how societies can fully realize the promise of new discoveries and technologies. To create a shared path forward, we will coordinate with the private sector; state, local and Tribal governments; and other educational institutions. Knowing true partnerships are built on trust, we will measure our leadership by whether we deliver on our commitment to collaboration and reciprocity.
