What we do

The Government Relations Office represents Oregon State University in the governmental process by building and maintaining relationships between the university and various civic, government, and political communities.

The Government Relations Office at Oregon State University aims to accomplishes its goals by:

  • making certain that the entire OSU community is responsive to legislative requests and that legislators are aware of the value Oregon receives from its investments in higher education.
  • ensuring that OSU's research, teaching, and public service efforts are designed to meet the needs of all Oregonians.

The purpose of this website is to provide relevant and important information for a broad coalition of OSU stakeholders. If you have questions about our content or involvement with our office, please do not hesitate to contact us.
