With the generous support of the Roundhouse Foundation, this scholarship and internship, students will get the opportunity to utilize the new Innovation Lab at the Marine Studies Building at Hatfield to experience hands-on learning that will support their educational and career goals.
With the generous support of the Roundhouse Foundation, this award supports Oregon State University undergraduate students in their second year or more of study who are participating in a paid internship with the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) Innovation Lab (iLab) in Newport, Oregon. Recipients will be students in any college at Oregon State University who are interested in developing the programs and operations of the HMSC iLab. Students are considered for both the internship and the scholarship based on their application for the scholarship.
The internship includes a Roundhouse Foundation Marine Studies Innovation Lab Scholarship award for the Winter and Spring terms, a paid hourly position at the HMSC iLab during the Winter, Spring, and Fall terms (approximately 8 hours per week), a paid position with a stipend for housing at HMSC during the Summer term, and access to up to $1,000 that can be used for supplies, travel, etc. to support iLab-related projects.
My name is Rylin Duster and I am a sophomore studying Environmental Science with an emphasis in Aquatic Biology. I transferred to Oregon State University this year, moving across the country from a small town in Illinois. I spend much of my free time exploring in nature, reading, practicing yoga, and going on roadtrips with my friends!
I strongly look forward to this internship for countless reasons, but mainly because of the opportunity it provides to learn and grow academically. Having the space to work with differing machines and scientists may really help me understand my own career goals as a woman in STEM. What I hope to learn I hope to gain a better understanding of engineering practices, as I have not done much studying in such fields. I am also really excited to learn about the processes that are taken by researchers and apply them into my own work.
Ever since moving to Corvallis, my new favorite escape place is definitely Fitton Green. My friends and I visit weekly to catch the sunset, enjoy some old growth beauty, or stretch our legs with a nice walk.
My favorite OSU experience really has to do with all of the doors that have opened for me since moving here. I have been really lucky to get into polar science undergraduate research, this internship, and a
research trip to Greece and Spain studying the Hellenic Volcanic Arc. Attending OSU has allowed so many amazing opportunities to come into fruition, which never would have happened had I not transferred here.
My favorite comfort food is a tofu poke bowl - one of my favorites to make!
My name is Baxter Millsap, but I usually go by Bax. I’m a senior here at OSU pursuing a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences. I’ve lived in Missouri for most of my life, but through the scholarship/internship I have been able to relocate to the Oregon coast to pursue my passion of marine biology.
After my first week I can definitely say that I am looking forward to learning so many different skills that I never thought I would learn during my time at OSU. I’m also super grateful and excited to meet so many amazing new people and learn from them! What you hope to learn from the Roundhouse internship and apply to the future I’d say I’m most excited to learn 3D design and printing and being able to build effective skills in media production. These skills will be invaluable as I move forward towards a future career and open so many doors.
So far my favorite place to destress and escape for a bit has been any and every beach I can find. I’ve been landlocked back home for a long time so I’m living the dream being minutes away from a variety of beautiful coastal escapes.
Being selected for this internship has taken me from an online learning environment to being able physically learn and experience a majority of the subjects I’ve learned about and will be learning about in the future. This opportunity and just being part of the OSU community has been my favorite part. The amount of resources I’ve been provided with during my time here has been incredibly motivational and reassured me anytime I’ve had doubts about my path.
As you can see from my picture, I am a huge fan of a delicious bowl of ramen noodles. If I could, I would probably eat them every day!
