Outstanding concept, and about time we triggered it at Oregon State University. I know personally of some students who would jump on this, as a value added opportunity.</p><p>I had a few thoughts, in addition to Cary and Larry's.</p><p>I do not know if this is the case, but I suggest that since Steven Strauss is the primary instructor, the course BI 435 GENES AND CHEMICALS IN AGRICULTURE: VALUE AND RISK (3) be shown as FS 435 and that it's crosslisted as BI 435 and TOX 435. </p><p>Also, in the course catalog I cannot find BI 430H BIOTECHNOLOGIES: AGRICULTURE, FOOD AND RESOURCE ISSUES (3). I have looked high and low. So, either you have the wrong course number or an incorrect entry. (I know Steven teaches a course on Biotechnology -- I have copied in Steven so he can chime in.)</p><p>Finally, does it make sense to include Range courses and Horticulture courses in the 16 credits of electives?</p><p>-- </p><p>Sonny Ramaswamy Reub Long Professor and Dean Director, Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station College of Agricultural Sciences 126 Strand Agriculture Hall Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 97331</p><p>Tel: 541-737-2331 Fax: 541-737-4574 Email: [email protected] url: http://agsci.oregonstate.edu/</p><p>Preeminence.

Previous liaison responses more than adequately address any questions that came into my mind as I went through it. The concept of the double degree appeals to me since the students gain disciplinary technical competence to support the sustainability expertise. </p><p>Larry </p><p>Larry Curtis Associate Dean College of Agricultural Sciences Oregon State University 138 Strand Agriculture Hall Corvallis, OR 97331 Phone: 541.737.1764 Fax: 541.737.3178 </p><p>From: "Ramaswamy, Sonny" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2011 07:24:00 -0700 To: "Shinderman, Matt" <[email protected]> Cc: "Boggess, Bill" <[email protected]>, "Green, Cary" <[email protected]>, Larry Curtis <[email protected]>, "Coakley, Stella - CAS" <[email protected]> Subject: FW: Liaison </p><p>Hi Matt.

Several AREC faculty were involved from start to finish, including Susan Capalbo, but we somehow neglected to submit a formal liaison request to your office (or have not yet received a reply to early requests). At this time the Faculty Senate Executive Committee would like to see liaison with AgSci on the double- degree. I would greatly appreciate your review of this attached proposal and any comments or questions you might have. </p><p>Cheers, ms </p><p>Matt Shinderman, PhD Senior Instructor Natural Resources OSU-Cascades 541-322-3159 [email protected] </p>
