1.2 Background
Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR is located within the traditional homelands of the
Mary's River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya. Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855
(Kalapuya etc. Treaty), Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to reservations in Western
Oregon. Today, living descendants of these people are a part of the Confederated Tribes of
Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes
of the Siletz Indians (https://ctsi.nsn.us).
Founded in 1868 as Oregon's land grant institution, OSU serves the state, the nation and the
world as a premier 21st-century research university. OSU is committed to exceptional research,
discovery, innovation and engagement - and to integrating its research and engagement mission
with the delivery of a high-quality, globally relevant and affordable education for the people of
Oregon and beyond. OSU is one of only two land, sea, space and sun grant universities in the
U.S. and is the only university in Oregon to have earned both Carnegie Classifications for Very
High Research Activity and Community Engagement.
The university's 570-acre main campus is located in the city of Corvallis, a vibrant college town
of nearly 58,000 in the heart of Western Oregon's Willamette Valley. Corvallis consistently
ranks among the safest, most highly educated and greenest small cities in the nation.
