If you are going to be in Corvallis this February the public has an opportunity to observe this year’s lambing season at the OSU Sheep Center. There are currently 250 ewes expecting and the center is hoping to see about 400 lambs join the OSU family. The visits will begin on February 20th until March 14th from 9am to 2pm. But it will be closed on Thursdays and Fridays for class.
The ewes and lambs are part of ongoing research studies in animal health, breeding, feeding and grazing management conducted by the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station. The animals are used also in instructional programs in the OSU Animal Sciences Department and the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine
Each year the Sheep Center draws thousands of children and adults for the lambing event. This is a great opportunity to cure some of the winter blues and look forward for the spring time ahead. For more information on visiting the Oregon State University Sheep Center click on the link below.

Oregon State University announced last week its new three plus three degree program that will help cut students’ time in school.
College students can earn undergraduate and law degrees in only six years, under a new ‘three plus three’ program announced Wednesday between Oregon State University and Willamette University College of Law. Under the program, participants will spend three years at OSU in Corvallis, then three years at Willamette’s Salem law school. The program potentially cuts one year out of the time normally needed to earn a law degree.
Students who are interested in this program must apply during their first two years at OSU; the requirements will include specific GPA and test-score prerequisites. This is an exciting new program for students that are interested in earning a law degree. More information should be coming soon as they finalize the details of this program.

OSU started slowly scoring 48.850 in the opening rotation on the vault. But the Beavers never scored below 49-points in a rotation thereafter. Freshman Chelsea Tang, who has taken her vaulting up several notches in the past week according to associate head coach Michael Chaplin, tallied the Beavers’ highest score with a 9.825. Makayla Stambaugh followed with a 9.80 while Brittany Harris and Leslie Mak added scores of 9.75 and 9.725. Kelsi Blalock recovered from a balk on her first attempt to score 9.70 to round out the scoring for OSU.
