In 1900 the first student body organization at Oregon Agricultural College was unanimously voted into being with subsequent faculty approval. the organization was called the Student Assembly. Charles H. Horner was elected the first president. Throughout the early years of the 20th century this student body supervised The Barometer, Oratory and Debate clubs, Athletics and the Student Council. The Student Council's duty was to formulate and enforce regulations and discipline as directed by the student body. A brief history: In the 1920's the term "Associated Students" was adopted and the student council became known as the Associated Students of Oregon State College. During World War II ASOSC was involved with raising more then $1 million in U.S. War Bonds. In 1944 Marguerite Johnson (already notable for being the first woman elected Vice President) became the first woman President of ASOSC. In 1948 the ASOSC Senate was established. In 1959 the ASOSC passed the resolution to change the name of the school from Oregon State College to Oregon State University. In the early 1960's ASOSC lobbied the Oregon Legislature to change for the institution's name to Oregon State University, and on March 6, 1961 Governor Mark Hatfield signed legislation officially changing the name to Oregon State University. In the 1970's ASOSU helped create the Black, Hispanic, and Native American Student Unions, and their subsequent resource centers. 1974 The ASOSU Office of Legal Advising was established. 1977 ASOSU approved funding for a gay student association. 1987 The Minority, Women and Gay and Lesbian Student Affairs Task Forces were established. 1988 Office of Legal Advocacy was established. Ride Share, a precursor to the SafeRide Program was established. 1990's: Textbook Exchange service established. ASOSU won a 10 year long legal battle against OSU over student health insurance money. OSU was required to pay all of ASOSU's legal fees and was chastised for threatening students with criminal charges. 2000's: ASOSU was involved with the installation of the blue lights around campus. Queer Resource Center was established. This is abridged history of ASOSU leaves out many important things that ASOSU was involved with over the decades. A more complete history will be available on the ASOSU website.

Mission: ASOSU is every student at Oregon State University. We exist as an organization to promote academic excellence, encourage the intellectual, social, cultural, and physical development of the student body, and enable the student body to assert its varied interests as citizens and members of the academic community through democratic representation.

The Student Fee Committee will be voting on the discounted fee by the end of the day on Monday, March 30th. Congress then votes Tuesday and Wednesday, and they are looking for student feedback on the recommended reductions of the Incidental Fee or live during the meeting. Check back at noon Monday for full incidental fee submissions from each unit and for a link to provide your feedback. Congress will review these recommendations before they meet to vote whether or not to accept the reduction.

The ASOSU COVID-19 page will provide updates to the student body on what the ASOSU is doing related to the outbreak, and will be updated with new information as there are developments. The link below will take you to ASOSU’s latest update on the context and parameters on the incidental fee reduction, further context behind the health and building fees: https://asosu.oregonstate.edu/covid-19

ASOSU has purview over the incidental fee portion of student fees.

03/25/2020

Hi folks! We have heard and seen a bunch of questions regarding the student incidental fee, the building fee, and the health fee for next term. ASOSU has been working diligently this spring break, along with each student fee funded unit, their student advisory boards, and the student advisory board liaisons, to come up with a reduced student fee for Spring of 2020. While reducing the student fee, we also have been working hard to maintain student employment which is paid for by a significant portion of the student fee. Please see the included infographics for more information on each of the fees and the reasoning behind focusing on the student incidental fee. If you have any questions, feedback, or comments please reach out to [email protected]. We will be posting updates to the ASOSU Instagram and Facebook, and should have more information soon!

We hope that you all are taking care of yourselves during this time, and know that we hear you, and we are working hard to make sure that your voices, wants, and needs are accommodated by the University.

Can you please give us a definitive answer on whether or not classes will be online so those of us that don't have to be in corvallis won't get stuck in a lease. Most of us need to decide to sign leases or not in the next few weeks.
Good engineering college, the smartest students attend from all over the country and around the world. We transport many of the students to/from Eugene Airport. $60 to/from OSU/Corvallis & Eugene Airport. Cheaper than Uber/Lyft. EZ pp/web booking. Thank you!!!

Looking for a Fall Term Internship? Team Oregon is recruiting volunteers and interns for Governor Kate Brown's re-election campaign. Volunteer and internship duties would include voter registration, canvassing, phone banking, and attending weekly meetings. You will also gain experience with multiple technical programs that are used in political campaigns across the nation, such as the Voter Activation Network (VAN) and the Oregon Legislative Information System (OLIS). These programs are used for field organizing, fundraising, and tracking bills. This would be a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a local political campaign. Volunteers and interns would be working on-campus and in local neighborhoods that are a short walking-distance from campus. Internships are unpaid, but students may receive internship credit, if desired. Volunteers and interns are primarily needed September through November, for campaign season. However, we encourage both our volunteers and interns to participate longer, since there is potential for professional advancement within our organization. If you are interested, please contact me through FB Messenger!
