Welcome back, Tigers! Whether your fall semester was full of activity or you’re looking for a fresh start, the Spring Involvement Fair is your designated space to intentionally curate your Oxy experience. As a hallmark tradition at Oxy, this fair serves as the premier space to explore the diverse student-led organizations that define our vibrant campus culture.

When you hear or see the wild parrots of Los Angeles do you ever wonder where they're headed? Roosting sites are a wonderful way to observe hundreds of parrots and parakeets gather during winter evenings. Moore Lab launched the Free-flying Los Angeles Parrot Project (FLAPP), where we're looking closely at the DNA of both the Red-crowned and Lilac-crowned Parrots and analyzing community science observations along the way. These Amazona parrots are native to opposite coasts of Mexico and never meet, but in L.A.

This event is part of a new speaker series OxyTalks “On Tap” starting with the topic of AI and Society, in partnership with the Dean's Office, the Library, and CRS.

Our Olive Grove is one of the most resilient places on campus, as these trees use little water, withstand heat, and store CO2.

Due to lower than usual yield, we will not have our Annual Olive Harvest this fall. Yet to continue the tradition, we invite you to celebrate our olive trees. Co-sponsors include Office of Sustainability, Office of Religious and Spiritual Life, Emmons Health and FEAST.
