Oregon Stater Fall 2026

CREDIT TK FOR LEWIS SEAGRAVES, ’61, an OSU degree in mechanical engineering launched a lifetime of meaningful work. To help future generations of mechanical engineers achieve their dreams, he created an endowed scholarship that honors the memory of his late wife, Carol. During their 56 years together, the couple saw students struggle with financial barriers — experiences that continue to inspire Lew’s generosity and his desire to help meet society’s growing need for engineers. As part of a carefully considered estate plan, Lew named the OSU Foundation as a beneficiary of his IRA. Using retirement assets is a simple and tax-wise way to plan a bequest that will make a lasting impact at OSU. Contact me to learn more.

Lewis Seagraves’ gift will support mechanical engineering students like senior Meira Griffel (above), who plans to earn a master’s degree, then pursue a career in space robotics.
