IN THE COMMUNITY

• Are you a former Oregon State student-athlete? If so, OSU wants to hear from you. Our goal is to track the success our former student-athletes have had since the completion of their playing days. From community service to success in the professional world, OSU student-athletes have accomplished many great feats. A questionnaire has been developed for former student-athletes to fill out. To do so, click here.

• In all, more than $1,700 was raised for "Digging For Dylan," a volleyball challenge between the OSU Football and Volleyball teams at the Truax Indoor Center Friday night. Dylan Cain is a local 5-year-old boy who is suffering from Cerebral Palsy.  The Beaver volleyball team under the direction of head coach Taras Liskevych, has volunteered their time recently for several fundraising events for Cain.

• On Sunday, prior to the Baseball team's game with Arizona, OSU will honor the 2010 Samaritan Advantage All-Star. The Samaritan Advantage All-Star will be selected on the merit of a specific achievement, accomplished after reaching the age of 65. At the game, the All-Star will be transported via Limo, given a videoboard dedication and will throw out the ceremonial first pitch, among other great other experiences at the game. Last year's All-Star was Mary Ray.

• Gymnastics and Women's Soccer recently participated in the second annual OSU Community Day Of Service, sponsored by the Oregon State Alumni Association.
