Stern served on the OSU faculty of education 35 years and, between 2002 and 2011, served as dean of the College of Education. Since he first learned about the Daly Fund, Stern has been fascinated by the remarkable impact that it’s had and what can be learned from its almost hundred year history. In retirement he has been studying the impact of the Fund and is now writing a book about Bernard Daly, the scholarship, and its impact. You can learn more about Sam’s research on the Daly Fund at his blog: http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/lakeview/.

​John Larison was born in 1979 in Philomath, Oregon.  The son of National Geographic filmmakers, much of his childhood was spent traveling, often staying in remote tropical or mountainous regions. He attended the University of Oregon and studied philosophy and literature, and stayed to earn a Master’s of Education. For several years, he worked as a fly-fishing guide and high school English teacher, writing fiction in the evenings.  In 2005, he left both jobs to earn a MFA at Oregon State University.
 
Since then, Larison has worked as a freelance writer for outdoor magazines, an adjunct writing instructor, and a fly-fishing guide. He was always writing fiction. His first book was a how-to text on fly-fishing, The Complete Steelheader (Stackpole 2008). He went on to publish two fishing related novels Northwest of Normal (Barclay Creek 2009) and Holding Lies (Skyhorse 2011).
