Ogi (food)

Ogi is a fermented cereal pudding from Nigeria, typically made from maize, sorghum, or millet. Traditionally, the grains are soaked in water for up to three days, before wet milling and sieving to remove husks. The filtered cereal is then allowed to ferment for up to three days until sour. It is then boiled into a pap, or cooked to make a creamy pudding.It can be taken with Moin Moin

In Kenya the porridge is known as uji (not to be confused with ugali), and is generally made with millet and sorghum. It is commonly served for breakfast., but often has a thinner gravy-like consistency.

The fermentation of ogi is performed by various lactic acid bacteria including Lactobacillus spp, and various yeasts including Saccharomyces and Candida spp.

OGI School of Science and Engineering

The OGI School of Science and Engineering, located in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States was one of four schools at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). Until June 2001, it functioned independently as a private graduate school, the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology (OGI). OGI operated four departments and had approximately 330 students. In 2008, the school's name was changed to the Department of Science and Engineering and by 2010, the department was dissolved and the academic programs and research were disseminated to other OHSU institutes and departments.

History

OGI was chartered in 1963 by the Oregon Legislature to provide graduate-level training and expertise to the state's rapidly expanding high-tech industry, including Silicon Forest companies. Tektronix co-founder Howard Vollum helped found OGI in 1965 with a $2 million grant, and upon his death in 1986, he bequeathed $14.8 million to the college as an endowment. The school started as the Oregon Graduate Center located on Barnes Road. OGI’s first president was Donald Benedict who was selected for the position in 1966. In 1968, the school purchased 74 acres (300,000 m²) on Walker Road near 185th Avenue in an unincorporated section of Washington County for a new campus. That campus opened on August 15, 1969, complete with a dedication by Senator Mark Hatfield.
