The LSAMP program at Oregon State University, funded by the National Science Foundation, is dedicated to increasing the number of traditionally underrepresented students successfully completing science, technology, engineering and mathematics baccalaureate degree programs.

SOL is a student-fee funded organization that focuses on Queer/Trans People of Color (QTPOC) while putting on events and programming for individuals to embrace their full selves without compromising a piece of themselves in the process. SOL is who you fully are. Looking at all of your identities and acknowledging they all matter at the same time. While we recognize the intersection of all identities we focus particularly on the intersection of race/ethnicity, sexuality and gender. Students find support through educational programming, student advocacy and ally building. 

Men's Development & Engagement (MDE) is an initiative of the Educational Opportunities Program. MDE focuses on engaging Oregon State University's men in discussion of gender, exploring topics of masculinity in our community and developing healthy masculine identities.

It is the mission of the Multicultural Greek Council to promote diversity, communication and cooperation among its member organizations and to advance the ideals of scholarship, service and unity throughout the greater Oregon State University and Corvallis community.
