Editor’s note:<\/strong> This article was originally published in the Oregon Stater alumni magazine<\/a> in April 2025.<\/div>\n

Four not-so-ordinary Beavers and why they chose to study online<\/h1>\n

One in three Oregon State students now learns exclusively online through Ecampus. Spread across all 50 states and 60 countries, they\u2019re drawn to OSU for many of the same reasons on-campus students are: to receive a high-quality education, learn from the university\u2019s expert faculty and gain the skills they need to thrive professionally or pursue a passion.<\/p>\n

And of course there\u2019s the benefit that\u2019s inherent to online education: the flexibility that allows students to earn a degree or credential while managing work and life obligations. As it turns out, that flexibility also comes in handy when students\u2019 work takes them to unusual places \u2014 from Hollywood backlots to Major League Baseball fields.<\/p>\n

The four alumni showcased here hail from a variety of places, and their successful careers have taken them to wide-ranging points on the map. But now that they\u2019ve graduated, they all call OSU home.<\/p>\n

Beau Mirchoff<\/p><\/div>\n

The actor<\/h3>\n

As a teen actor, studying for school while on a film or TV set came with the territory for Beau Mirchoff. There are laws, after all, that help ensure young actors spend the necessary time on education. As an adult in show business, Mirchoff, \u201924, still loves to learn. But while he was pursuing his OSU bachelor\u2019s degree online, the motivation to study had to come entirely from within.<\/p>\n

Even when the glaciers came calling.<\/p>\n

Mirchoff was filming a movie in Iceland during his final quarter online with OSU when he was faced with a decision: Go on a weekend adventure with the rest of the film\u2019s cast to explore glaciers and see wildlife. Or stay behind to complete a physics lab as part of his environmental sciences major coursework. He chose the responsible route and turned an Icelandic inn into his makeshift classroom. \u201cI constructed a series of pendulums in the hotel hallways and watched other hotel guests sneak by my labyrinth with confused faces,\u201d Mirchoff said via email.<\/p>\n

But he was quick to point out that this wasn\u2019t a chore. Far from it. Earning a science-based degree online<\/a> enabled him to indulge his love of the environment, even when it meant sacrificing downtime and excursions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI genuinely enjoyed what I was learning, so spending my lunch reading or studying instead of napping in between scenes was fine,\u201d he said. \u201cI also had a strong mindset and knew I was going to finish, so I just did what I had to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mirchoff booked his first role in 2003 when he was 14. Now he has nearly 50 acting credits to his name, including on Netflix\u2019s\u00a0Narcos: Mexico<\/em>, MTV\u2019s\u00a0Awkward<\/em>, ABC\u2019s\u00a0Desperate Housewives\u00a0<\/em>and numerous major theatrical releases. The movie he filmed in Iceland, \u201cThe Finnish Line,\u201d premiered last December on the Hallmark Channel. That type of busy schedule \u2014 the travel, the odd hours on set \u2014 doesn\u2019t easily lend itself to the rigors of being a college student. Mirchoff, however, shined in the role, as do many working professionals who enroll with Ecampus.<\/p>\n

More than two decades into his career, he shows no signs of slowing down. Nonetheless, the Canadian actor wants to be prepared as the entertainment industry begins wrestling with technological advancements.<\/p>\n

\u201cActing is great, but I enjoy other things as well. A backup plan sounded smart because who knows if acting will be a sustainable income source when the AI overlords take over,\u201d he said, half-jokingly. \u201cI would also like to help the planet in some way, so attaining knowledge and not being a fool sounded appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jane Vinesky<\/p><\/div>\n

The globe-trotting ecologist<\/h3>\n

Jane Vinesky\u2019s cell phone was buzzing. She looked at the screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cOMG.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a message from a friend and colleague.<\/p>\n

Hours earlier, Vinesky, \u201922 \u2014 a marine ecologist and conservationist \u2014 was teaching dozens of young children about giant manta rays, the majestic sea creatures with wingspans that can stretch more than 20 feet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went to the aquarium after lunch,\u201d said the message from her friend, the youth coordinator. \u201cSome of the kids went to the gift shop. Many manta ray stuffed animals were purchased!\u201d<\/p>\n

A smile beamed across Vinesky\u2019s face, and soon it gave way to tears \u2014 the kind that trickle when you realize that, truly, your work is making a positive difference.<\/p>\n

Vinesky works in the ocean, the lab and everywhere in between to help save endangered rays and sharks. An Ohio native, she was drawn to OSU because of its expertise in fisheries, wildlife and conservation sciences. She has traveled the globe to contribute to the cause \u2014 before, after and while earning a bachelor\u2019s degree online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Swimming with giant mantas is thrilling. The hard science is challenging. But educating children and others might be Vinesky\u2019s sweet spot \u2014 and it could be how she makes the biggest impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs scientists, we talk a lot about the biodiversity crisis, but less about the science communication crisis,\u201d she said. \u201cScientific literature is, by design, challenging to digest. This creates barriers between scientific research and the general public that are crucial to break.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the impetus behind\u00a0The Mantaverse<\/a>, an educational, immersive digital platform Vinesky is creating to help increase ocean literacy and establish ecological baselines for a potential new species of manta ray in the Mexican Caribbean.<\/p>\n

Endorsed by the United Nations, The Mantaverse will consist of artistic, interactive virtual exhibits that allow users to engage with science in hands-on ways. It will teach people, for example, that mantas live long lives and form complex social relationships. Users will also catch glimpses of their awe-inspiring presence.<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine an underwater kite, except the kite has a 15-foot wingspan and is staring at you,\u201d said Vinesky, a former Fulbright Scholar who just earned her master\u2019s degree at El Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional in Mexico.<\/p>\n

The timing is critical. Giant mantas are at serious risk of becoming extinct in the wild. They are the first species of manta to be listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Their biggest threat: commercial fishing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore people caring about mantas is the only way we can enact the change necessary to save them,\u201d Vinesky said.<\/p>\n

And saving them, as she learned, just might start with stuffed animals in the gift shop.<\/p>\n

Daniel Robertson<\/p><\/div>\n

The aspiring major league coach<\/h3>\n

When Daniel Robertson talks about his goal to someday manage a Major League Baseball team, he doesn\u2019t bother with \u201cif\u201d statements or hypotheticals.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the time I\u2019m a major league manager,\u201d he said, \u201cI feel like the game is going to recognize that I\u2019ve been working hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robertson, \u201920, does not say these words arrogantly. He says them with the conviction of someone whose grit guided him to the peak of professional baseball as a player and who is now, a decade later, on the doorstep of a big-league coaching job. He\u2019s currently the bench coach for the Columbus Clippers, the Triple-A affiliate of MLB\u2019s Cleveland Guardians, one level below the majors. There is no linear path to becoming an MLB manager, and any potential opportunity could be years away, if ever.<\/p>\n

Until then, Robertson will visualize himself in the role and prepare for everything \u2014 the good and the stressful.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoaching professional sports, the demand to win is so high. It can be daunting, but I welcome it,\u201d said Robertson, a native of southern California who played for OSU and learned on campus in 2008. \u201cI want to be in the most high-pressure situations because I know it\u2019s going to test my patience. And when you\u2019re patient, you can really help a lot of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Helping is a coach\u2019s job, after all. Robertson excels at it. After playing for the Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners and Guardians from 2014 to 2017 \u2014 all while working toward his liberal studies degree online<\/a> \u2014 he has worked his way up Cleveland\u2019s organizational ladder and identified his favorite type of player to work with.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoy coaching those that other people have given up on,\u201d he said. \u201cOlder people like to say the younger generation needs instant gratification. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the case at all. All they needed to do was learn how to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

It makes sense that Robertson would devote special attention to overlooked players. As a 33rd-round draft pick himself, the odds were stacked against him in his playing days. Despite this, he grinded out a memorable pro career through relentless hard work. That wasn\u2019t the only thing working in his favor, though. Along the way, his managers rallied behind him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a good player, but it took a person to stand on the ledge and say that I was the one that was going to help us win,\u201d Robertson said. \u201cI want to be that type of manager too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Heather Bell<\/p><\/div>\n

The international energy expert<\/h3>\n

Spend a little time speaking with Heather Bell, M.S. \u201920, and you\u2019ll inevitably feel grateful that someone with her skills and intelligence is in the high-stakes position she\u2019s in. As the director and energy attach\u00e9 for the U.S. Department of Energy at the U.S. Embassy in London, she\u2019s the expert government leaders turn to when they need answers. If, for example, radiation is detected over Europe, Bell can communicate the implications for U.S. citizens living abroad.<\/p>\n

She also leads diplomacy efforts to bridge the gap between domestic energy policy and international cooperation. And she\u2019s perfect for the role: well-versed, eager to learn, highly capable and plugged in.<\/p>\n

Those traits have defined her career in nuclear energy and nonproliferation, with additional jobs held in Washington, D.C.; Kyiv, Ukraine; Beijing; and Moscow. At all four posts, she displayed an ability to collaborate and build trust with the host countries.\u00a0 The other common denominator? Oregon State was with her at every stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t overstate how much OSU\u2019s faculty expertise and dedication to students has helped me not only to complete my studies from four different countries, but to better do my job by having the answers to questions that accompany major events \u2014 especially ones that have radiation safety implications,\u201d said Bell, who earned a radiation health physics master\u2019s degree online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has helped me know what data is needed to assess the situation while also understanding the fear that underlies people\u2019s reactions to radiation release incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raised in Pennsylvania, Bell had a well-established career when she enrolled online with OSU. She wasn\u2019t contemporaries with her faculty members, per se, but they were in the same field. In fact, she met her faculty advisor \u2014 Distinguished Professor Kathryn Higley, an international expert on radiation detection and protection \u2014 for the first time in person at the DOE headquarters in Washington, D.C., because they were both there on business.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s serious business.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs increased numbers of people and goods cross borders, the ability to detect smuggling and detect the movement of nuclear radioactive materials \u2014 and also to understand where that material should be housed and who has responsibility for it \u2014 is going to increasingly be an issue as we work towards global nuclear security,\u201d said Bell, whose views are her own and do not represent the U.S. government.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where her expertise factors in, working with other countries each day to find common ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all are doing our best to make a difference,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve loved experiencing the underlying humanity behind all the headlines in every country I\u2019ve been in.\u201d<\/p>\n
