Life After Honors - Next Steps
The Honors Baccalaureate is just the ticket. It provides students
with a tangible outcome and a prestigious, distinctive diploma from
OSU. The Honors experience is one of inquiry-based learning in an
enhanced and enriched academic environment, and the Honors thesis is crucial. UHC classes and co-curricular activities are also part of
this outstanding undergraduate experience. Almost any UI-IC student you ask would say that Honors was one of the high points of
undergraduate life at OSU. There is, however, life after OSU, so what
comes next? Where do UHC graduates go; what do they do? As a
majority of UHC undergraduates are enrolled in either science or
engineering, you might assume UHC graduates all immediately rush
off to medical school or high-paying, high-techjobs. Although graduate school and gainful employment are definitely choices for many,
there are other things graduates do, too. As usual, it is difficult to
generalize about UHC studentstheir individuality is legendary, and
it continues with their post-graduation plans. Do UHC graduates
find that their Honors experience makes a difference in their future?
The answer is a resounding, "Yes!" Here are some of their stories, as
life continues after the UHC....
Spending time away from the academic grindworking and preparing for graduate schoolis a pattern for many UHC graduates.

burgh, St Louis, and Vermont. She and her husband are in the
process of deciding where to go come August. Charity is interested in pediatric surgery and hopes to return to Africa, site of her
undergraduate internship, for further schooling.
After graduation, Rita Strobel (HBS, Biochemistry/Biophysics,
1998) worked as a research associate at the prestigious Hastings
Institute in New York. After two years, she applied for graduate
school at Yale, where she is studying ethics. When asked for a
briefing on graduate life at Yale, Rita responded: "I suppose it's
pretty much like graduate life anywhere. Too much reading and
writing in too little time, paltry income from campus jobs, and students have no clue why they're there or what they'll do with their
degrees......
Christa Svensson (HBS, Anthropology, 1999) spent two years
working, then began applying for graduate programs in museum
studies. Christa's Honors thesis was a project at the Jensen Museum of the Arctic at Western Oregon University. For that project,
she designed an exhibit entitled: The Men's World. Christa will
begin her graduate work at the University of Washington's inter-
move on. Charity Dean (HBS, Microbiology, 2000) remained in her
disciplinary program in museology.
Kerry Jacques (HBS, Exercise & Sport Science, 1999) took graduate classes and worked about 6 months at OSU right after graduation, then moved to Washington, D.C. to work in a research lab at
the National Institutes of Health. She is working with proteins and
Sarah Normandin (HBS, Microbiology, 2000) remained at OSU after
graduation to work in a lab and prepare her applications to medical
school. She has recently been admitted to OHSU and is ready to

reports that the year away from academics gave her an opportunity
to pursue hobbies and do volunteer work, as well as get married.
Now, she is ready to return to the books. In a recent email to the
UHC, Charity described a report she presented to the Quality Assurance Committee of the Blood Bank:
"The committee is comprised of our CEO, myself, my assistant,
and our Medical Director. You can imagine my surprise when the
M.D. turned tome in wonder and said, 'Where did you learn to write

John Byrne: Still Teaching, Still Learning
Leveraged Learning:
The Horizon is the Goal
A UHC Faculty Profile
The similarity between being OSU President and teaching a UI-IC coursecommunication. Emeritus President (1984-1995) Dr. John Byrne had not been in the classroom for 27
years before getting back to teaching a UHC colloquia. Leadership and PersonalSuecess.
Over a lunch-time conversation, Dean Hendricks enticed Dr. Byrne back to his first love,
interacting with students. He designed a Leaders/zip and Personal Success course so he
could share what he had learned through his experiences as a teacher and as OSU President.
The goal of Dr. Byrne's course was to help students develop habits that will steer them
to leadership and personal success. Of course, this cannot be accomplished in lO-lhr
meetings, so he gave students a sampling of these habits in hopes they would carry away
new or refreshed skills and put them to use in their own lives. Some ofthe components dealt
with writing, public speaking, art appreciation, and listening. As Dr. Byrne points out.
listening well is essential.
A pleasant surprise to Dr. Byrne was the quality of students. "They will be leaders," he
noted, "we will see books written by these students." He wanted students to look at and
experience different dimensions of leadership. Among other assignments, he asked them to
look at all artwork in the Valley Library and write about their perceptions ofa self-selected
piece. Dr. Byrne was again pleasantly surprised by the students' ownership and engagement with this assignment.
Dr. Byrne's favorite memory will be of the students and the diverse characteristics each
brought to class. He enjoyed learning of the perspectives gained from students representing 6 academic colleges. Students reported this was the kind of experience everyone needs
and they were happy to have the opportunity to take such a course.
A great university attracts great studentsand that is the role of OSU's University Honors College. The dividends of
participatory learning are legendary; the
litany of benefits to OSU of high achieving students is equally impressive. Without doubt, Honors could attract more stu-
dents than it can accommodateprovided
the convenant is not broken. The UHC is
appealing to those who value learning as
an attitude, not a gradewho see learning
as discovery, guided by mentoring, propelled by curiosity.
The Leveraged Learning Campaign
for Honors is directed to three initiatives:

innovative, creative thesis project. With
the watchword being state-of-the art inquiry, lack of support is often the most
limiting factor. Through a challenge

What is happening at the UHC? Needless to say, students stay busy. A forum every quarter.
victory in the Academic Civil War via the High Five Challenge (broadcast date 9/1/01), a dance and
"catered" lunch to raise money for the OSU food drive, and plenty of outdoor adventures.
Our Fall Forum, "Election Education", was held November 1 in the MU lounge. James
Sager, president of the Oregon branch of the National Education Association discussed the
measures on November's ballot that could drastically reduce funding for higher education.
Of the 26 measures that were on the ballot, at least II could have had an impact on higher
education. Sager explained how these measures could have negative effects on the quality
of higher education and its cost.
This Winter, President Risser was our featured forum speaker. Prior to the forum
he and Les Risser shared dinner with 17 UHC students everyone had a wonderful time
getting to know each other. At the forum President Risser fielded questions about resi-
dence hall changes, transportation and parking on campus, diversity and harassment
issues, and budget cuts. It was definitely an enlightening event.
UHC students trumped the Ducks during the High Five Challenge. Jon Barbur,
Mike Durham, JeffGlanville, Patrick Lew and Erik Sorenson were victorious in matches
against the University of Oregon and Portland Community College. The Ducks even had
a law student on their team. Our UHC team made an impressive showing in categories such
as Lakes, Asian History, Royalty and Anatomy, but they did have a rough time with the
Cooking category. Congratulations High Flyers.
For the first time ever, the UHC held a dance, for fun and as a fundraiser for the OSU
food drive. It was a success! The dance was held in the MU Ballroom. UHC students artfully
decorated the ballroom and the ballroom dance club asked to borrow the decorations for their next
event. Students donated a can of food to the OSU Food Drive for admission. There was no
shortage of fun, the music and dance styles varied from break-dancing to ballroom. Even the staff
attended.
We raised significant funds for the OSU Food Drive through a hot soup lunch, "catered" in the SLUG. The Gables Restaurant
donated 10 gallons of their famous Chicken Bisque soup. Great Harvest Bread Company donated 100 whole-wheat rolls and Phil Usera,
Amber Leis and Rachel Hochman each donated 3 gallons of home-made soup. McNary Dining Hall loaned bowls and spoons. Each
serving sold for 52. After the total from the dance and the lunch students raised 1,049 pounds of food.
Of course there are always outdoor adventures planned for those willing to brave Oregon weather. This fall students camped at
the Oregon Dunes for the weekend. In addition to 30 students, Jane Siebler, her spouse and father, plus Rachel Flochman and her fiancé
traveled south for the trip. Everyone hiked and romped on the dunes. Saturday night's spaghetti dinner was also a hit. In Winter almost
100 students went to Sunriver for fun in the snow. Joe
Hendricks, Jane, Rachel and their respective spouses all
shared the weekend with UHC students. Everyone skied,
snow-shoed and played trivial pursuit into the wee hours.
Spring quarter brought another Forum, our Women's
Symposium, and the Spring rafting trip. The Spring Forum
focused on finding common goals on the two sides of the
abortion debate, e.g. better prenatal care, more services for
expectant mothers, etc. Britt Conroy spearheaded the Forum with help from the Steering Committee. The Women's
Symposium was entitled, "Experiences with Sexism: A day
in the life ofan OSU student." Seven students presented 13
vignettes about their own and their friends' experiences
with sexism as students. The Spring trip took place over
Memorial Day weekend, with a float trip on the Umpqua
River. Honors students lead busy lives and are wellgrounded.

HONORS ROLL: DONORS OF DISTINCTION
Without the generous support of friends and supporters, Honors would not have achieved its present luster. Large gifts or small, all
contributions to Honors via the OSU Foundation enhance opportunities we can provide to Honors students. When the University Honors
College opened in 1995 one thing that readily became apparent was the need for fund raising to augment what could be provided though
regular budgetary appropriations. Fortunately, there are many generous supporters who recognize the leverage their charitable contributions can provide. Before any time elapses, we want to acknowledge the support of our friends, and share our gratitude by enumerating
the names of those who have stepped forward. Henceforth we will report by year and by level but this initial Honors Roll includes names
of all benefactors to date. Thank you donors, together we will make it happen.
