HONORING NATIVE PEOPLES AND LANDS

The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Following treaties between 1851 and 1855, Kalapuya people were dispossessed of their indigenous homeland by the United States government and forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon. Today, Kalapuya descendants are primarily citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and they continue to make important contributions to their communities, to the UO, to Oregon, and to the world.

HUMANITIES

why.uoregon.edu/humanities

Students of the humanities explore what it means to be human through our connection to others, society, and the natural world. At a moment in history when the very nature of “truth” and “reality” are hotly contested, the humanities provide necessary insight into the character of civilizations past and present, and cultures and experiences that differ from our own.

ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES

YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Convey your vision for the future of Mount Hood National Forest through a written public testimony and a 15-second Instagram video. This is just one of the projects for the introductory environmental humanities course. It’s a different way to study the environment through creative approaches that just might be what’s needed to address the world’s biggest natural challenges.

PRISCILLA PEÑA OVALLE

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF CINEMA STUDIES

Priscilla takes on assumptions, things that are accepted as true without proof. Whether based on race, gender, or even a style of hair, these presumptions are the focus of her research into film and mainstream media. She asks questions about why people don’t question. Priscilla finds that pop culture is a great avenue for introducing students to research, so they’ll start asking good questions too.

While the public might only notice the end result, scientists know that breakthroughs are the culmination of years of step-by-step work: asking questions; gathering data; trial, failure, and retrial. This is where you’ll learn to research health inheritance, to observe volcanic flow, to theorize about quantum computing, to model molecules and decode DNA. It’s where you’ll create theories about the human mind, cures for the human body, and ways to heal the environment. This is where we work together to create new knowledge daily and make discoveries that will change the world.

OIMB LAUNCHES NEW SHIP

Thanks to features of the new 48-foot research vessel Megalopa, scientists and students at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology will access the ocean like never before. From state-of-the-art electronics to a large winch with 5,000 feet of cable, students can collect specimens from the sea floor or observe them from the surface. With a Seakeeper gyroscope to steady the ship, greater stability equals less seasickness.

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY

In the Aging and Vascular Physiology Laboratory, Ashley is working on some stiff problems namely, stiffening arteries and how they affect us as we age. Ashley’s research focuses on changes in blood vessels over time and the correlation with diseases like Alzheimer’s, with the ultimate goal of identifying potential new interventions. Thanks to a slew of grants as well as a collaboration with OHSU in Portland, Ashley’s work opens the door for UO students to get involved in medical research too.

ALFONSO KELLER-CASIELLES

MAJOR: MUSIC PERFORMANCE

HOMETOWN: DETROIT, MICHIGAN

Alfonso was only four when he started playing violin, but it took until his junior year of high school to decide to make a career out of music. “I could have been happy doing a lot of things but there’s something about music that’s quite magical, that connects people and the community,” he said. Since arriving at the UO, Alfonso has made a strong connection with the Oregon musical community, performing in groups from the UO undergraduate string quartet to Orchestra NEXT for the Eugene Ballet and the Rogue Valley Symphony.

Our 3+3 Program grants qualified honors college students automatic admission to the UO School of Law and shaves a full year off the typical path to a doctor of jurisprudence degree. The prelaw liberal arts program develops the critical thinking and communication skills you’ll need, and the Oregon law curriculum prepares you for a successful legal career.

KALI DE SAINT PHALLE

MAJOR: BIOLOGY

MINOR: POLITICAL SCIENCE

HOMETOWN: ASHLAND, OREGON

It took some time for first-generation student Kali to get comfortable with the ins and outs of college life. So when she was handed the reins of an informal first-gen student club, Kali jumped into action. Using her political science savvy, she’s working to create programming to help other first-gen students navigate financial aid and scholarships, understand their rights, connect with mentors, and ultimately find their place. Up next? Law school, where she hopes to focus on mediation and conflict resolution to help others through tough times.

The small class sizes in the honors college reinforce the cohort feel.

You don’t have to choose between a small liberal arts college and a research university to get both personalized attention and large university resources.

The Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health has launched at a time when the need for child mental health care is at an all-time high.

We need innovative new solutions to transform the child mental health system to make it more effective, accessible, and equitable. By creating the nation’s first undergraduate program in child behavioral health, the Ballmer Institute establishes a new model for mental health care for children and families.

The child behavioral health degree program is not only an academic major. It is a training program for a new mental health professional, the child behavioral health specialist. As a major in child behavioral health, you will be trained to deliver mental health services in schools, health care systems, and the community.

Graduates will help children not only in Oregon, but around the world, ensuring that all children have access to high-quality, affordable, and culturally competent care.

HEEDING THE CALL FOR ACTION

The UO recognizes the ongoing racial injustices that have called so many people to take action. To bring about awareness of systemic racism and to impact change, we know it takes intention, humility, and a willingness to listen to and learn from the people around us particularly those most impacted by these injustices. It also takes critical thinking and shifts in how we behave and act, for change to happen. Working toward this goal, the UO has devoted a channel to educate our community, provide opportunities to participate, move toward change, and acknowledge and honor work that is being done. uoregon.edu/listen-learn-act

Inclusion

Diversity at the University of Oregon is more than numbers and percentages.

It’s about communities and individuals: students, professors, and staff members, with unique identities, experiences, and perspectives.

We’re committed to continuously building an equitable, welcoming, and inclusive community. It’s an evolving conversation with no endpoint a continuous commitment to be and do better. Our community is at our best when we affirm, respect, support, and celebrate what makes us different along with the common threads that bring us together.

We believe in the power of community and the importance of belonging. When you arrive on campus, you won’t be alone. You’ll be surrounded by others who just like you have a hunger to learn and succeed as students. But the college experience is more than earning a degree it’s defined by your encounters outside of the classroom. It’s the people you’ll meet, the opportunities and activities you’ll share as Ducks, and the memories that you’ll take with you as alumni.

At first the UO may seem like a big pond, but the connections you’ll form will make it feel much smaller.

There are many components to being healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally. Taking care of yourself may mean consulting with a physician when you are sick, talking to a therapist if you are struggling, or forming rich relationships with those you live, play, and study with.

University Health Services provides comprehensive medical and mental health services on campus. Our providers are experts in college health and are here to help you achieve your full academic and personal potential.

Getting support is different for everyone. That’s why Counseling Services offers a wide range of strategies from one-on-one therapy to attending a discussion group or workshop to best fit the needs of individual students.

This commitment to your well-being stretches beyond the walls of our state-of-the-art health facility. Take yoga classes at the Student Recreation Center that include mindful breathing. Eat nutritious, locally sourced food in our dining halls. Engage with peer health educators who are here to assist you in developing self-care and life balance. Do you have a passion for personal well-being? There is even an academic residential community where you can live with others to purposefully support each other.

In every corner of our campus, you will find people working to help you be healthy and resilient on your path to success.

This is our ecosystem. We’re immersed in nature. It inspires us. It informs our decisions and our innovation.

The first recycling bills were drafted here. No surprise sustainability is in our DNA. So is good coffee and fresh, locally grown food. Active isn’t an afterthought, either. It’s part of our lifestyle. We run on Pre’s Trail, bike to school, and roll along 13th Avenue. We ski down mountains, float down rivers, and play along the beaches on the weekends.
