June 2020
Dear <<First name>>,


This has been an exceptionally challenging and stressful term. But, we have never been more proud of our CPHHS community for their resiliency, compassion and determination to create a better future.

An excerpt from Dean F. Javier Nieto's message to the college community on June 1:

"Recent weeks have brought us what feels like a seemingly endless stream of horrific acts of violence against Blacks and other people of color. 

"These acts of violence and brutality leave us heartbroken and outraged, but sadly, they do not surprise us. As a College of Public Health and Human Sciences we recognize that, still, in America, racism prevails at systemic, institutional and interpersonal levels."

Pomp, despite the circumstance


Commencement, like most of life in 2020, looks a little different this spring. Celebrations have moved online, at least until fall, to recognize the college’s 93 graduate students and 359 undergraduate students.  

CPHHS honors 2020 graduates

From OSU to the CDC


John Paul (JP) Bigouette is not only one of Oregon State’s newest graduates, he’s also an epidemiologist who has landed his dream job. 

Fresh from earning his PhD from the CPHHS, he’ll start a highly competitive two-year applied epidemiology fellowship with the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta this summer.  

Why JP loves epidemiology and how he'll use it at the CDC.

Where can an OSU degree take you? 


When you’re a public health emergency officer in the U.S. Navy, during a pandemic no less, you need to be prepared to lead. And for Eric Vaught, that preparation began at Oregon State.
