Changemakers on and off the field | April 13, May 2
The guests for the spring Changemakers webcasts have some things in common – they both played on the 2001 Fiesta Bowl champions team and went on to make a difference for students in Oregon. But their paths leading to and following Oregon State have been entirely unique! Save your spot for both events and hear about how Head Coach Jonathan Smith, ’01, (April 13) and Jarvez Hall, ’05, (May 2) are helping students build skills and experience unbelievable opportunities, from coaching Beaver Football in Corvallis to directing the East Metro STEAM Partnership in Portland.
