Carrie Halsell Ward (1903–1989) was Oregon State University's first (known) African-American graduate.[1] She graduated in 1926, with a B.A. of Science in Commerce. BiographyCarrie Halsell was born on October 26, 1903 in Boulder, Colorado to William and Bessie Halsell, the third of six children.[2][3] The family moved to Salem, Oregon around 1912 where William worked various jobs including janitor, laborer, and farmer and by 1921 he was a shopkeeper on State Street.[3] In high school Carrie was on the honor roll and participated in glee club, girls' club, girls' reserve, commercial club, and typewriting contests; she received her high school diploma from Salem High School in Salem, Oregon, in 1921. After getting her degree from Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University) in 1926, she moved to Portland, where her family had moved, and worked as a housekeeper for the Meier & Frank department store, one of the few employment opportunities for a black woman in the area.[3] Within a year, Carrie moved to Virginia.[3] She was employed at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute (now Virginia State University), as an assistant to the registrar and later as an instructor in business.[3] While at Virginia Normal she was an establishing member of the Alpha Eta chapter of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, a historic black sorority. In 1945 Carrie took a position at South Carolina State University, where her husband, Louis Morris Ward, worked as a faculty member in Business Administration.[3] She then obtained a Master's in Business Administration from New York University in 1949 by going to school in the summers.[4] In 2002 Oregon State University named a residence hall in her honor.[1] In 2016 Salem High School posthumously gave her an achievement award as the first African American to graduate from Salem High School. [5] She passed away in July, 1989, at the age of 85 in Orangeburg, South Carolina.[2][3] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://photohistory.oregonstate.edu/works/untold-stories-guide/carrie-halsell-osus-first-african-american-graduate|title=Untold Stories Guide: Carrie Halsell, OSU's First African American Graduate|work=Untold Stories Guide|access-date=2018-09-10|language=en}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Halsell Ward, Carrie}}2. ^1 {{Cite book|title=Untold Stories: Histories of students of color at Oregon State University|last=|first=|publisher=Oregon State University Libraries and Press|year=2013|isbn=|url=http://www.orww.org/Alberta_Street_Project/2015_Report/10_References/Arnet_et_al_20131000.pdf|pages=10-11}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{Cite book|title=Perseverance|last=|first=|publisher=Oregon Northwest Black Pioneers|year=2011|isbn=9781450748780|location=Salem, Oregon|pages=150-158}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.orangemedianetwork.com/daily_barometer/uncategorized/new-residence-hall-named-for-osu-alum/article_4e163f24-ccba-5414-be60-fce0e372e828.html|title=New residence hall named for OSU alum|last=DeRoia|first=Kristie|date=2002-04-26|work=Orange Media Network|access-date=2018-09-10|language=en}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://northsalemvikingassociation.techismylife.com/biographies/carrie-halsell-2016-achievement-award/|title=North Salem Viking Alumni and Friends Association|last=|first=|date=February 4, 2017|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 10 : 1903 births|1989 deaths|People from Boulder, Colorado|People from Salem, Oregon|Oregon State University alumni|New York University alumni|20th-century African-American people|African Americans in Oregon|People from Colorado|African-American history of Oregon |
