Championing Inclusivity: How one student’s vision helped others succeed
Faced with televised reports of George Floyd’s murder on May 25, 2020, Mar’quis Bryant-Morgan, then a nuclear engineering undergraduate, felt an urgent need to “do something for the community.” In the midst of a global pandemic and civil unrest, he began piecing together what would become the Bryant-Morgan Scholarship to provide financial support for Black students at Oregon State University.
Radiation Health Physics program leads the nation
Oregon State University’s Master of Radiation Health Physics degree program is the largest in the country, and the reasons for its success are clear.
Devin McGlamery
Devin McGlamery began a postdoctoral fellowship in the School of Nuclear Science and Engineering in the Chemey group during the spring of 2024. Prior to this he worked as a Senior Research Scientist at Æsir Technologies inc. working on developing and optimizing aqueous zinc battery chemistries. He earned a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from Montana State University in 2017. During this time, he worked for Professor Matthew J. Cook on methods to generate spiroketal fragments to arrive at the natural product spongistatin. Devin then received a Ph.D.
