Some of the world’s clearest views of war begin in an Oregon State research lab.

Professor Jamon Van Den Hoek and the OSU Conflict Ecology Lab combine satellite imagery and other technologies to track damaged infrastructure and the movement of people in hot spots. Their findings allow journalists and humanitarian organizations to see where destruction is occurring and where help may be needed most.

“The work he does is exceptional and has made it possible to inform our readers not only about what is happening in Ukraine but in many other parts of the world, with an accuracy and efficiency that no one else has been able to achieve before,” said The New York Times graphics editor Marco Hernandez.

Did you know that Oregon State University’s first Black graduate earned her bachelor’s degree 100 years ago, in 1926?

Carrie Halsell, ’27, went on to earn a master’s degree and build a career in higher education, teaching business courses at South Carolina State University.

Halsell graduated at a time when Black students were not permitted to live on campus at Oregon State. In 2002, the university named Halsell Hall, a residence hall, in honor of this trailblazing alumna and her role in Oregon State history. 🧡🖤
