Units Supported
Associated Students of Oregon State University
ASOSU is every student at Oregon State University. We exist as an organization to promote academic excellence, encourage the intellectual, social, cultural, and physical development of the student body, and enable the student body to assert its varied interests as citizens and members of the academic community through democratic representation.
Family Resource Center
The Family Resource Center advocates for and provides quality programming and services to all OSU families with dependent care needs to support the academic, professional and personal success of the whole person. In addition to nationally accredited campus child care FRC provides child care assistance funds, free short term, drop in child care, a children’s gift closet, campus network of lactation rooms, education and outreach, special events and individualized student parent support as needed.

The Basic Needs Center (formerly the Human Services Resource Center, or HSRC) helps students get their basic needs met (housing, food, textbooks) so they can focus on their academics. Popular programs at the BNC include the campus food pantry, food assistance funds, emergency housing and the Textbook Lending Program.

Our mission is to build and support Beaver Nation while leading our student-athletes in a direction of growth and success here at Oregon State and beyond.

We value our BeaverDam immensely and know that our student body plays a huge rule in every game and competition. Go Beavs!
