FR Harris Graduate Computer Lab
The Lee Harris Graduate Computer Lab was dedicated in 1992 in memory of Lee Harris, a former student in the College of Forestry at OSU. The purpose of the lab is to provide computer facilities for graduate students in the Department of Forest Resources. Funding for the lab comes from an endowment made by the Gibbet Hill Foundation in memory of Lee Harris. The Harris Lab funds are used to purchase computers and software in the Lab, renew journal subscriptions, partially fund conference expenses for Forest Resources graduate students, and fund a graduate student orientation trip for new and returning students. The administration of the Harris Lab is carried out by a committee which is made up of several Forest Resources graduate students, the Graduate Program Coordinator, and one faculty advisor.

The University
and Community
OSU is one of only ten American universities to hold the Land Grant, Sea Grant, Sun Grant, and Space Grant designation and is a Carnegie Doctoral/Research-Extensive university. Approximately 15,800 undergraduate and 3,500 graduate students are enrolled at OSU, including 2,800 U.S. students of color and 900 international students. The university has an institution-wide commitment to diversity and multiculturalism, and provides a welcoming atmosphere with unique professional opportunities. OSU is located in Corvallis, a community of 54,000 people situated in the Willamette Valley between Portland and Eugene. Ocean beaches, lakes, rivers, forests, high desert, and the rugged Cascade and Coast Ranges are all within a 100-mile drive of Corvallis. The surrounding farmland is dedicated to growing a wide variety of crops, and there are extensive recreation areas in local, state and federal parks, including forested lands and rivers. The entire valley corridor enjoys a mild, temperate climate.
Housing
A variety of housing and dining accommodations are available to graduate students. Both one-term and academic-year contracts are available.
All graduate students interested in applying for student family housing owned by the University should contact the Department of Student Housing and Residence programs in advance of the projected need. Other listings and pertinent off-campus housing information to help students obtain local housing are available on the second floor of the Kerr Administration Building adjoining the Student Services area. Postings for off-campus housing can also be found at the following website: http://oregonstate.edu/students/offcampus.htm.
