Oregon was recently chosen to participate in an NGA Academy to explore implementation of state-wide PSM programs.  This will provide us with an exciting opportunity to develop additional programs at different institutions, including OSU, to meet state workforce needs.  Read more about this initiative in our spring newsletter!
