Meet Melissa Weinblatt and Ryan Long
To me, college is about opportunities and learning which of those opportunities are the right ones for you as an individual. Your college experience is your own unique creation based on the decisions that you make and the path that you create. The opportunities here at OSU have been endless. And, because of them, I am confident that I am building my future on a solid foundation.

Excitement and opportunity are two words that best describe my first year at Oregon State University. I came to OSU as a transfer student, and I had my doubts about the school and fitting in with a new crowd. My doubts quickly disappeared after being a part of the College of Agricultural Sciences for only a short while. I know getting involved has made the difference between having an average college life and having the experience of a lifetime. OSU has opened many new doors for me and will continue to lead me to success in any career I choose.

After receiving my associate’s degree from a small women’s college in Missouri, the nationally ranked Environmental Science Program drew me out here to OSU. Since arriving, I have learned that becoming active on campus as well as in the community is the key to my success as a student, friend, and co-worker.

I have not only gained knowledge and wisdom through my time at OSU, but heartfelt friendships that will last a lifetime.
