Classes had been offered in Engineering since 1891 and degrees awarded since 1893, and by 1908 four autonomous departments were established: Mechanical, Electrical, Mining, and Civil. After January 16th, 1908, the autonomous department structure was discontinued and their administration was coordinated by the Dean of Engineering. Three other schools were established at the same time: Agriculture, Commerce and Domestic Science, and Art. Wed Jan 16: EWB General

America's mission is to help eliminate educational inequity by enlisting our
nation's most promising future leaders in this effort. We build a diverse,
highly selective corps of top recent college graduates and
professionals—individuals of all academic majors, career interests, and
backgrounds—who commit two years to teach in low-income communities and become
lifelong leaders in pursuit of educational excellence and equity. During their
two years, corps members go above and beyond traditional expectations to ensure
that children growing up in low-income areas have more of the opportunities
they deserve. At the same time, the corps members themselves gain the
conviction and insight necessary to be lifelong leaders for fundamental change,
regardless of their professional sector. For more details, visit http://www.teachforamerica.org/mission/index.htm Fri Jan 18: MIME Faculty–Grad Seminar:

AND RECENTLY GRADUATED SENIORS: IT’S SENIOR PHOTO TIME!! If you are graduating this year, please
be sure to contact The Ball
Studio in Corvallis to have your senior photograph taken (sitting
fee $10–$15). The studio has been given a list of your names, phone numbers and
ONID email addresses, and will try to contact all graduating seniors, but you
should call or email them and set up your optimal sitting time. If you
graduated this past fall term, and have not yet had your senior picture taken,
contact the studio to set up an appointment as soon as possible. Those of you
who will be graduating between now and summer term, including summer term,
please make your appointment with them at your earliest convenience. Email or call Joy at The Ball Studio: theballstudio@gmail.com, 541-753-5721. [posted 1/14] WINTER
TERM UNDERGRADUATE ADVISING SIGN-UP begins Tuesday, January 22nd, in Dearborn
102. It is important to schedule a 15-minute appointment with your
advisor during this three-week advising period, which runs from Monday, January
28th through Friday, February 15th. Advising is required
in order to get your PIN for registration the following term. If you are not sure who your advisor is,
please check the Bulletin Boards, located outside Dearborn 102. Also, if
you plan to graduate anytime between Winter 2008 and Summer 2008, and have not
yet met with Dr. Parmigiani, for Mechanical Engineering students or Lynn Paul,
for Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering students, you must do so this
term. (All graduating seniors will be assigned to Dr. Parmigiani or Lynn
Paul). One last note: You can only sign up for one advising
session. If you miss your appointment, you’ll have to wait until after
the scheduled advising period (ending February 15th,) which will drastically
reduce your chances of getting into the classes you want. If you have any
questions, please go to Dearborn 102, which is where all the advisors are
located. [posted 1/14] ENGINEERS WITHOUT BORDERS SEEKS SPRING BREAK TRAVELERS. EWB is now accepting applications for travel to El Salvador during Spring Break 2008.
