Caitlin McCann: Being powered by orange, to me, means
having genuine school spirit and pride in being a beaver.
It's being pro-active and being involved on your campus.
Cameron Collins: We have hundreds of activities
and clubs and whatnot.
Get involved in a sports club.
Also, we have a lot of art and theater.
Anything you want, pretty much we have here.
So, don't be shy.
It's a great way to meet new people and have a lot of fun.
Wren Patton: Being powered by orange means that you,
as an undergraduate, have the opportunity to do research
with world-renowned faculty.
Justin Thomas: The college of forestry has helped me
achieve success in the field I'm studying in
by giving me access to a plethora of knowledge
from the professors and researchers
and the instructors at Oregon State.
My name's Justin Thomas.
I'm a Forest Engineering/Civil Engineering
in the College of Forestry.
Crowd: We're powered by orange!
Jessica Budge: During my time at Oregon State,
I've had the opportunity to take advantage
of a variety of different internships
both on campus and off campus,
and those have all helped me to discover
what my passions are and what I enjoy doing,
and hopefully help me prepare me for a career in the future.
Christina Sautto: Being powered by orange means being mindful.
I'm not just talking about sustainability,
but living it.
Corvallis is one of the most bike friendly cities in Oregon.
Michelle Nguyen: OSU students volunteer all over campus
and in the community.
If you have a cause,
there are lots of people on campus to help.
Christina Sautto: OSU students have the choice
to vote where their student fees go to,
and students chose to pay for green-friendly energy.
Brian Laird: This is the first year
that we're actually using those student fee dollars
here on campus for a renewable energy infrastructure,
and the first project that we identified
was the solar hot water heater installation on Dixon.
Christina Sautto: The exercise machines
at Dixon Recreation Center are connected to the power grid.
So, it pretty much means that students
are powering the university.

Michelle Nguyen: When you come to OSU,
you are instantly part of a strong network.
There are more that 140,000 Beaver alumni around the world.
Cassady Gilroy: To me, being powered by orange
means being part of the community that is OSU.
Wearing OSU apparel, orange and black,
it gives us such a united feeling in this campus,
and what's great is everyone does it,
no matter what day it is.
If it's sunny, people would still wear orange.
If it's dark and gloomy,
everyone's still out in their orange sweatshirts and sweatpants.
It's just wonderful to be able to look around us
and see everyone wearing the same colors
and having the same sense of pride
in the school that they're in.
Men: We're the Koller crew,
and we're powered by orange.
[music]
Brent Redpath: My advice to new and transfer students
would be to get connected as much as possible
with colleagues, students, faculty,
and get involved with u-engaged programs for new students.
That's a great program for new students.
Experience and learn about the resources here on campus.
[music]
Woman: Manage your time wisely
and just stay on top of your classwork
because in the end, that's what we're all here for.
Man: You should become friends
with your adviser and your professor.
That's an easy way to make connections.
Man: Get involved with as many clubs
and organizations as you can right now
because never in your life, will you be surrounded
by so many passionate and intelligent people.
So take advantage of it while you can.
Man: Make sure you enjoy the sun while it's here.
Woman: Going to Dixon is great
because you can relieve stress and get your energy out.
Sheryl Truong: One of my favorite memories
about Oregon State University
is just being part of the wheelchair basketball club.
It has given me the opportunity to be part of a group
that is trying to make Oregon State
a little bit more inclusive
for individuals with disabilities.
Men: And now, you're powered by orange.

Woman: Now, you are powered by orange.
