We are a diverse, inclusive and welcoming community, drawing people from all fifty states and more than 100 countries. We embrace our responsibility to Oregon and the world, building a future that’s smarter, healthier, more prosperous and more just. We see what could be and have worked relentlessly for over 150 years to make it so.
