State and Local Government Relations

The Government Relations Office seeks to assist the university community in its interactions with legislators, the Governor’s office, Oregon University System, and state and local officials and agencies.  We assist in promoting OSU with all public officials and in responding to their inquiries and concerns.  We seek to provide a wide range of opportunities for the OSU community to interact positively with state and local officials across the state.
