It depicts the OSU mission and how faculty and staff work together to accomplish these common goals. The production includes footage of of the OSU campus in Corvallis and other sites throughout the state; students; and many staff members doing their work. Several staff members and students are interviewed in the production. OSU administrators included in the production are Roy Arnold, John Byrne, Ed Coate, Nancy Howard, George Keller, Phyllis Lee, Jacque Rudolph, Lynn Spruill, and Jo Anne Trow. The outtakes include various bloopers by Roy Arnold, John Byrne, Ed Coate and and other staff and administrators recorded during the videotaping for the production.
