My name is Kourtney Goya and I have recently joined the OSU Admissions Office as an Admissions Advisor. I graduated from OSU in June with a History degree and a minor in French. I travel and recruit students from Alaska, Colorado, and Lane County, Oregon.

I have previously written for the Admissions Blog as an undergraduate student.  I have made a short video asking the OSU Community what their favorite thing about the university was, as well as highlighted the annual lu’au hosted by Hui-O-Hawaii (Hawaii Club).  In addition to being an active member of Hui-O-Hawaii, I also worked with prospective students as a TOUR Coordinator and with current students through other on-campus clubs and organizations. I am grateful for the many opportunities Oregon State provides for their students to get involved.

As an Admissions Advisor, I am excited to share how amazing Oregon State University is and some of the experiences I had as a student. In the last three weeks I have traveled through Alaska and Colorado talking with prospective students. I enjoy working with future Beavers (as well as current Beaver Believers) and look forward to the rest of the year!

GO BEAVS!!!

My name is James Miller. I am an alumnus of Oregon State University (2006), double major in Economics and Psychology. I am an Admissions Advisor here in the OSU Office of Admissions. It’s very exciting for me to be joining the Admissions Blogging Team! My main role in the office is similar to that of fellow blogger: Matt Ogawa. As an Admissions Advisor, I travel throughout the great States of Oregon and Alaska recruiting new students to join the OSU community.

Hopefully I’ll be able to bring some fresh and exciting perspectives to the Admissions Blog. Along with the traditional news items and updates I am going to try to focus on the personal stories, people, places and traditions that make Corvallis and OSU such a special place to live and learn. If you have ideas, comments or feedback…Don’t hesitate to drop me a comment because dialog is a very good thing!

Given my theme of personal experiences, I would be remiss if I didn’t leave with you a photo from my travels through Alaska this fall. So, for your enjoyment, a shot taken on the way to a high school visitation at the Eagle River Nature Center (can you find the Beaver Dam in the left middle of this shot?):

That’ll be all for now. Stay real and BE WELL!
