Johnson
Continued from A1
In 2016, Johnson oversaw
the opening of OSU-Cascades’
new campus in southwest
Bend, complete with a dorm
building, cafeteria and an en-
tire classroom building.
The university’s enrollment
also tripled under Johnson’s
tenure, and new students con-
tinued to flock to the Bend
campus, even during the
height of the COVID-19 pan-
demic this fall.
“Becky is the perfect leader
for this role at this time,” board
Chair Rani Borkar said during
the trustees meeting. “She’s an
extremely seasoned, capable
leader, a thoughtful listener,
a strong communicator and
a good-decision maker with
deep institutional credibility.”
Ten different public com-
menters, from inside and out-
side OSU, also had nothing but
support for Johnson.
Katy Brooks, CEO of the
Bend Chamber of Commerce,
told the board that Johnson
helped develop a strong work-
force for the Bend area.
“It’s a great loss for Central
Oregon, and a great gain ...
for the rest of the state and the
country,” Brooks said of John-
son’s appointment.
Starting May 1, Johnson will
serve as interim president for a
year while the university finds
a permanent new president to
replace F. King Alexander. Al-
exander resigned on March 23
after reports showed he mis-
handled sexual misconduct
cases during his time as the
president of Louisiana State
University, where he worked

Becky Johnson, vice president of OSU-Cascades, has been selected to be OSU’s interim president.
before coming to Corvallis.
Johnson will earn a base sal-
ary of $320,076 from the uni-
versity, plus $229,932 from the
Oregon State University Foun-
dation, resulting in a combined
annual salary of $550,008, ac-
cording to a draft employment
agreement from OSU.
At the time of his departure,
Alexander’s combined salary
from the university and foun-
dation was $630,000, accord-
ing to OSU spokesperson Steve
Clark.
Johnson told The Bulletin
that rebuilding community
trust after Alexander’s abrupt
departure will be one of her
first goals in leading OSU.
“This presidential transition
has been difficult, and I know
there were people across the
university who felt they weren’t
heard,” she said. “My first job is
to go out ... listen authentically
and develop relationships with
people across campus.”
The other major transition
Johnson will oversee during
her tenure is how the univer-
sity handles the COVID-19
pandemic as more and more
people get vaccinated.
Although it’s too early to say
what classroom capacity will
look like, or whether vaccines
will be mandated for students
and staff on campus, John-
son said she still expects mask
wearing to be mandatory at the
university.
“It’s likely we’ll still have to
be wearing masks when we’re
in classrooms or in shared of-
fice spaces,” Johnson told The
Bulletin. “But we’re hoping we
can increase the density on
campus, whether that means
on campus or in classrooms, so
we’re able to bring everybody
back and have the classes face-
to-face.”
Johnson was born in Racine,
Wisconsin, but spent much of
her childhood in the state’s sec-
ond-largest city, Madison. Her
summer weekends spent at her
family’s lake house in northern
Wisconsin instilled a love of
outdoor activities that she still
has to this day. And like most
Wisconsinites, Johnson is a
die-hard fan of the Green Bay
Packers football team.
After earning her bachelor’s
degree in economics from the
University of Wisconsin-Madi-
son in 1977, Johnson remained
in the Midwest and earned her
master’s and doctorate degrees
in agricultural economics at
Michigan State University. Five
years later, she began teaching
at OSU.
Johnson currently lives in
Bend, with her partner, Lori
Elkins, two cats, and a choco-
late Labrador retriever named
Dally.
Jane Reynolds — OSU-Cas-
cades’ director of enrollment
services and student success
— has worked alongside John-
son since 2008 and says she’s a
great choice.
“She’s a visionary leader,”
she said. “It’s been a pleasure to
work with her all these years.”
Johnson’s strengths are col-
laborating well with other uni-
versity staff, having big goals
and being able to easily con-
vince potential fundraisers
to contribute to those goals,
Reynolds told The Bulletin.
“She’s fantastic at sharing her
vision (with outsiders) — here’s
where we’re going, here’s how
we’re going to get there, and
here’s how you can support
these plans,” Reynolds said.
Since 2008, Johnson has
raised $74.3 million in funding
to build OSU-Cascades’ cam-
pus, according to university
data.
Johnson’s proposed em-
ployment agreement with
OSU states that once her year-
long tenure as interim presi-
dent ends, she may return to
OSU-Cascades as a professor
in the forest ecosystems and
society department.
Johnson said she hasn’t de-
cided yet if she’ll have a sec-
ond act on the Bend campus
in 2022 — but don’t count her
out.
“You never say never,” she
told The Bulletin.
Regardless of whether she
returns, Johnson said she ex-
pects OSU-Cascades to con-
tinue growing even as she
leaves for Corvallis.
“I’m not worried about
OSU-Cascades’ momentum,
because I know we have a great
team in place,” she said.

The supermoon of July 2014 rises over the Oregon Convention Center
in Portland.
Supermoons will be
on the rise this spring
BY JAMIE HALE
The Oregonian
Skies in the Pacific North-
west have finally started to clear,
which should bode well for star-
gazers hoping to catch the su-
permoons coming this season.
There will be several big
moons in 2021, according to as-
tronomers, most notably the full
moons on April 26 and May 26,
the latter of which will take place
during a total lunar eclipse.
The term “supermoon” is
unofficial, though it is gen-
erally thought of as a full
moon that is a little larger
and brighter than normal as
it reaches its closest point to
Earth. Because the moon fol-
lows an elliptical path around
the Earth, its distance from our
planet, known as the perigee,
varies throughout the year.
The April full moon is of-
ten called a “pink” moon, not
because it will be pink, but be-
cause it corresponds with cer-
tain early-blooming flowers in
spring, according to the Old
Farmer’s Almanac. The full
moon will rise at 7:57 p.m. on
April 26 in Portland, and those
hoping to get a good photo will
want to catch it as it just begins
to rise over the southeast hori-
zon, when it will appear even
larger due to the “moon illu-
sion” effect.
The May full moon, which
is sometimes called a “flower”
moon due to the abundance
of spring flowers, will also
take place during a total lunar
eclipse, according to NASA, in
what is perhaps the most an-
ticipated astronomical event
of the year. Those awake in
the wee hours of the morning
of May 26 will be able to see
the eclipse begin at 1:47 a.m.
in Portland, reaching totality
around 4:11 a.m.

As this Earth Day approaches, how
do we bring ourselves back into a
relationship of reciprocity with the

strengthen our ability to protect an
