I just recently graduated from OSU this past June with a Bachelors Degree in Art History and Fine Arts with a minor in Spanish. For my Art History Degree, my area of interest was Mesoamerican Studies and for Fine Arts my focus was Printmaking.  I am from Novato, CA (just 30 minutes north of San Francisco) and I was a First Generation student. College was such an exciting time for me, going out of state really pushed me in unexpected ways and I am very proud of the woman I have become at OSU. Within those years, I had studied abroad in Santander, Spain, been president of my cooperative house, been a housing tour ambassador for four years and was a Community Relations Facilitator, teaching social justice and diversity in the resident halls.

One thing that I loved about OSU was the fact that it was very accepting of my being undecided with my major.   Originally I thought I wanted to be an Art Teacher but then through my experiences on campus within housing, it really made me love working with students and making them feel at home within the OSU community. Oregon State University really is a phenomenal educational institution which provides students with tons of resources to becomem the best version of themselves.

This is me with my Linoblock Print I produced to be in our Senior Show.

So now that I am an Admissions Advisor, I am so happy to be able to go travel to Arizona, Utah, Southern and Central Oregon to tell students about all the amazing experiences that Oregon State University has to offer them.

Hello! My name is Kaleena Tuffo.  I graduated from Oregon State University in 2009 with a major in Sociology and a minor in Natural Resources.  I have recently joined the OSU Admissions staff as an Admissions Advisor.  I travel to various areas such as; the Oregon Coast, Arizona and Eastern Washington to talk to students about all of the opportunities available at OSU!

During my undergraduate career I had many amazing experiences both inside and outside the classroom. I had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding in the field of Sociology through undergraduate research and an internship with a non-profit in California. While I was at OSU I also planned the Alternative Spring Break Program for the Community Service Center.  This program takes a group of OSU students to another community to do a week of service during Spring Break.  These experiences gave me the chance to gain practical work experience, to grow as a person and to meet some amazing people.

I am very excited to now be working in Admissions at OSU. I have been traveling for the last two weeks talking to prospective students about OSU. This week I have been traveling around Eastern Oregon. There are a lot of exciting things happening at OSU, and I am thrilled about the opportunity to share them with all of you! Go Beavs!

Head Coach and counselor Raquel Guevera visited campus last week for our Beaver VIP program to learn about Oregon State. We’re glad she was able to attend despite some softball scheduling conflicts.

Typically, we only root for the OSU Beavers and we’re unbiased when it comes to high school sports, but we’re happy to cheer on the Lancers as Coach Guevera is now part of the OSU family. Best of luck to Coach Guevera and the entire Lancer softball team!
