Why is President Trump targeting Portland? Likely because he watched a misleading Fox News report that included video of 2020 riots and presented it as happening now. We asked our intrepid photographer to brave the war zone, and here's what he captured: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

Honors Alumna and History Professor Katherine Hubler, ’01, Publishes New Book on Holocaust Survivors
Twenty-eight years ago, Katherine Hubler arrived at Oregon State University as a first-generation student from a small rural town, planning to major in chemistry in the still-new Honors College. By 2001, she had earned both an H.B.A in history and an H.B.S. in philosophy. Since 2013, Hubler has brought her insight and expertise back to OSU as a senior instructor of history and as the Ecampus coordinator in the School of History, Philosophy and Religion.
