FALL TERM 2020: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Written by: Skyla Patton Photograph by: Vlada Karpovich
TLDR: FALL CLASSES WILL BE SHIFTED TO MAINLY ONLINE AND REMOTE INSTRUCTION. RESIDENCE HALLS WILL BE OPEN FOR INCOMING STUDENTS WITH RIGOROUS COVID-19 TESTING. CAMPUS FACILITIES WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR STAFF AND STUDENTS WHERE HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES CAN BE IMPLEMENTED. After weeks of consideration and observation of the COVID-19 crisis, the University of Oregon announced on Aug. 26 that fall term classes and instruction will be mainly remote and online. With the exception of select labs and hands-on courses which will be conducted with new safety measures, students can expect to learn from behind their computers for another term. The university highlighted these adaptations with a focus on improving safety and health procedures to an extent of returning to in-person procedures by January, 2021.
Students and faculty can expect a high quality education from prepared online classes, per an email from President Michael Schill, where he also highlighted the hard work put into the new changes and programs. from not only university staff, but also public health officials and other institutions that are navigating similar changes. The university will not be lowering tuition rates and fees. According to the statement made by Schill, this is because “the cost of providing a UO education has not changed nor has the value of a UO Degree.”
In-person facilities and resources will be available where proper safety and health guidelines can be implemented, keeping students both safe and secure as they navigate their remote experience. Locations such as the Erb Memorial Union, the library and the Student Rec Center will be operating at different but effective capacities. Included in this is the residence halls and dormitories, where the freshman class of 2024 is being welcomed via “robust testing, contact tracing and isolation and quarantine programs” according to an announcement from President Schill, to ensure student safety. Campus buildings and facilities will be closed to the general public.
The University of Oregon reminds students and staff to take care of themselves and others during this unprecedented time. Wash your hands, follow state safety regulations and guidelines, wear your mask and stay home if you are sick. Other helpful plans are avoiding social gatherings, maintaining social distancing in your own circle and doing self symptom checks to see how you’re feeling.

Welcome home
The Student Alumni Association is a student-led non-profit geared to cultivate meaningful and professional opportunites between current students and alumni of the university. The SAA creates passionate and devoted ducks who are committed to the UO for their entire lives. We’re here to build the best Ducks possible, enhancing your college experience with great networking events, internship opportunities, and other member rewards! We’re affilitated with the UO Alumni Association through which you can connect with more than 200,000 alumni and gain access to some awesome Alumni Association rewards. 10 | Duck Life 2020
The Student Alumni Association allows students to choose how involved they wish to be. Involvement ranges from attending our career and networking events, applying for our SAL internship, or becoming a member for rewards! “Getting involved with the SAA as a freshman really helped me get out of my comfort zone and allowed me to gain experience in a professional setting, which is something I knew very little about leaving high school,” says Audrey Lee, current Assistant Director of Membership Engagement. Audrey joined the SAL internship program at the very beginning of her freshman year and is now a junior. “Through the internship I’ve been able to meet so many new people and have been able to learn and grow as a leader, gaining skills I will be able to take with me into future jobs and into my future career.” The SAA will introduce a new virtual Etiquette Series this fall to help students prepare and adapt to the new online environment. This series will guide students on how to professionally engage in meetings, interviews, and much more! The SAA works close with UO’s Alumni Association to allow for more meaningful connections with alumni through tailored networking opportunities. Virtual coffee chats allow students and alumni to connect from across the world. The Black Alumni Network and Native Ducks Nation are among two of our affinity groups eager to network with the Student Alumni Association members. Lauren Hobbs ‘21, Director of Membership Engagement
Audrey Lee ‘22, Assistant Director of Membership Engagement
Events such as the Alumni Speed Networking (pictured above from 2019), will be made available to students this year in a remote format to allow students the same networking experiences. ASN allows SAA members to speed round network with our UOAA Board Members. “Students join the SAA to build their profesional network and connect with alumni before leaving the University of Oregon,” explains Lauren Hobbs, senior and Director of Membership Engagement for the SAA who joined as a freshman. “Having access to a community like the SAA has allowed me to learn professional skills that I can apply in any setting and will continue to use after college.” For more information about additional events and opportunities hosted by the Student Alumni Association, visit us at uoalumni.com/saa! Stay connected with us on social media to learn more about our upcoming events and latest internship information.

WHAT’S UP
EMU? WRITTEN BY SKYLA PATTON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SAM RUDKIN
20 | Duck Life 2020
The Erb Memorial Union has remained a campus staple for community, connection and innovation throughout the University of Oregon for many years, and there’s no exception now. Learning to navigate the COVID-19 crisis was not an easy task, but the EMU is proud to be offering a multitude of programs, opportunities and regular resources that are not only enriching, but more importantly, are safe. We checked in with some key members who help make the EMU run smoothly and got the scoop on how the beloved hub has been doing, and what the plans are moving forward.
With adjustments and safety protocols came a surge of innovation as the EMU adapted to new guidelines and more. Jessi Steward, Associate Director of the EMU, said that she was amazed by the creativity that came from furthering existing programs and even the opportunity to expand others. “I am so proud of how we were able to shift quickly in spring and build solid plans for the fall that are student-centered and continue to provide a sense of community, even in new formats.” Steward suggests staying up to speed with EMU programs and updates via social media for all the latest information.
A huge component of the EMU being up and running now and in the fall is a focus on safety, cleanliness and caution. Programs and locations are being opened up slowly according to state and university guidelines to ensure that proper safety steps are taken. The EMU would not have been able to reopen at all without the hard work and dedication of many individuals who worked to make things safe and accessible for students.
Don’t forget! The EMU will only be able to stay open if we all do our part to stay safe and work together to keep things moving in a positive direction. Wash your hands regularly, maintain social distancing while on campus wherever possible and of course, don’t forget your mask. Pay attention to specific safety guidelines for each program or location. Wondering when you could sneak in to visit the Craft Center or grab a bite while social distancing? Check out the visitor estimate count (updated every minute!) located at emu.uoregon.edu to see how many people are in the building.
Laurie Woodward, EMU Director, says she’s most proud of the way everyone handled things with a positive attitude and focused on listening to students and what they needed. “Every member of our staff continues to look for what we can do, and how we can make it safe for our students. We listened to a lot of fellow staff members, students, and even colleagues around the country,” said Woodward. Safety is the top priority, with the EMU’s purpose blended in: building community, and keeping students connected in a variety of ways.
Bottom line: the EMU is here to stay, and will continue to provide a plethora of opportunities and resources for UO students and campus community members alike. For updated information, visit emu.uoregon.edu or call the O-Desk at (541) 346 4153. Stay tuned for exciting announcements and features like new and innovative systems for ordering food, concert series and more.

Staying Connected with Clubs and Orgs.
Written by Skyla Patton Photo by Andrea Piacquadio
In a time of social distancing, it’s super important that we remember to stay connected to one another where we can. A great way to stay connected or get involved at your university is to check out what clubs and organizations are offering. If you’re looking for a quick way to find the club or group for you, check out https://uoregon.campuslabs.com/ engage for a comprehensive search engine. This is a super helpful tool that allows you to search by keywords, events and special interests to find a club or org that is best suited to your wants. Each club and organization offered at UO is totally unique and different in it’s own way, ranging from hands-on programs to digital experiences and more. Locations and organizations such as the Craft Center, the Outdoor Program and Moss Street Children’s Center are currently offering in-person programs, whereas other groups like the Center for Student Involvement, the Student Sustainability Center, KWVA and Esports host remote activities and look forward to preparing in-person plans as things develop. For more information on remote programs specifically, head to https://emu.uoregon.edu/remote and browse the different ways you can get connected at a distance.
Ranging from virtual live-streams with speakers to competitive trivia or following along with instructed DIY’s, there’s something certain to satisfy everyone’s remote needs. Want to stay remote but feel like you’re physically involved? Stay updated with weekly challenges or themes and challenge your friends to get in on the fun. Check out the Craft Center website for things like Mandala Monday’s and Craft Kit Wednesdays, or keep the spirit of club sports alive with Fitness Challenge Friday and shake those bones for a day of being active. The best way to get a feel for each program and learn how they’ve adapted is to search for clubs and orgs that align with your interests and then learn about what that club is offering for the fall. There’s so much going on in each area right now as each group learns to navigate moving forward safely, don’t hesitate to reach out to organizations for specific program information.
Social media has also become a fantastic way to stay up to speed with everything going on. Here are some great accounts to follow to keep updated on UO events and more:

As the beginning of the new school year eagerly approaches, it’s important to consider what tips and tricks are ones to keep on hand when contemplating how to survive your freshman year of college. Although the upcoming school year may seem anything but traditional, recognizing and following new healthy habits that keep you safe without dampening the joy and excitement of the first-year experience is beneficial for both you and your peers. If you’re preparing for college, follow this freshman survival guide to find uber-classic freshman survival tips revamped with safety information and campus guidelines related to COVID-19 so you can have a fantastic and safe freshman year!
Clean, clean and clean again Now more than ever, it’s critical to make sure that the place you’ll be living in is thoroughly clean and tidy. Not only does this help you stay on track and organized, but it also helps prevent the spread of COVID-19 and your chances of receiving it. In addition, making sure that you yourself are practicing good personal hygiene is essential! UO has made the option for triple-rooms unavailable for the upcoming school year to limit exposure to the virus, and has added portable stations across campus for students to wash their hands.
Get to know your professors We can’t stress this enough! Way too many students don’t take advantage of office hours, where you can recieve oneon-one help from your professors—something that is extremely valuable considering the majority of them have very busy schedules. Developing relationships with your professors can lead to a whole variety of beneficial opportunities. To meet UO’s recommended guidelines, many professors will most likely plan on their office hours to be virtual, so be sure to check on the class syllabus for open times or personal appointment information.
Set a sustainable schedule
Start building your professional presence right away It doesn’t hurt to start building your resume early! Remote career opportunities are now available across the world, with an array of internships and jobs being advertised almost daily. Getting a head start on your professional presence will set you apart from others while being considered for future opportunities and help you develop more relationships and connections than others. A great way to get started is create a LinkedIn profile; start connecting with and reaching out to professionals in your desired career field!
Limit your social interactions and gatherings An important aspect of freshman year is meeting people and making new friends, and all that is still possible even with social distancing rules set in place! UO recommends that you avoid social gatherings of 10 people or more and limit your immediate contacts to people you already know. One way to get around this requirement is to meet people virtually! Find people with similar interests as you through clubs and groups and make plans to “hang out” with them behind the screen.
With the introduction of three different types of class options, creating a sustainable schedule can be helpful with keeping track of deadlines, in-person/remote class meetings and overall time management. UO guidelines state that no more than 50 people can be in the same classroom at a time, following the current rules related to the prevention of the spread of COVID-19. Any number higher than that will be either fully remote or a hybrid class, with both remote and in-person meetings. It’s also a good idea to make sure you have a reliable internet connection and webcam for those remote classes!

Leftover points at the end of the week can be used in subsequent weeks (maximum 50 points; rollover is reset to zero at the start of a new term). Find yourself with too many or too few meal points? Feel free to change your plan at any time. See housing.uoregon.edu/mealplans

: ASUO What is it? Written by Skylar Anderson Photos by Will Geschke
Ever wonder what the student fees included in your tuition go towards? Enter the Associated Students of the University of Oregon—better known as ASUO. ASUO is the university’s student government, where elected student officials help their peers by providing them with a voice in relevant and influential decisions made for both the university itself and its students. When enrolled at UO, students are required to pay a fixed sum called the Incidental Fee (I-Fee). That fee goes towards ASUO and its mission to support student-run groups and organizations across the entirety of campus—along with its principle of being a source of support and guidance for all UO students. According to its website, “the Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO) strives to provide for the social, cultural, educational, and physical development of its members and for the advancement of their individual and collective interests both within the university and the community at large.” With the student fees summed up, ASUO is allocated a budget of around $17 million each year. This money is then divided up between over 200 student-run organizations, campus events and facilities and studentprovided resources such as free public transportation and free sports game tickets. ASUO also arranges financial, creative and leadership services and support for its recognized organizations, playing a critical role in its community. ASUO is divided into three different branches: executive, legislative and judicial. Much like our own state and federal governments, it also follows an array of rules and regulations set in place by the ASUO constitution. The executive branch houses the student body president, vice-president and 24 delegated students leaders, where it focuses on coordinating campaigns, overseeing student organizations and approving or vetoing financial decisions that impact the student body. The legislative branch is made up of a 24-member student Senate, where each student member represents one of the academic majors provided 44 | Duck Life 2020
at UO, and four student-led finance committees. This branch is in charge of commencing I-Fee funding, ratifying financial committees decisions, writing resolutions and confirming appointees for presidential ASUO positions. The judicial branch, also known as the Constitutional Court, is represented by five student members who are sworn to serve the student body for the entirety of their time at UO. The court is responsible for upholding the ASUO constitution, monitoring the other branches for transgressions and/or fallacies—and reviewing appeals that arise from the same branches. With COVID-19 still prevailing across the country, UO has made the rational decision to make fall term mostly remote with online instruction for its students. While this means that many student-led organizations will probably also meet remotely, ASUO still plans on continuing operations throughout the term as the student body actively depends and relies upon student government for leadership and community engagement. During these remote operations, ASUO is available to reach via email or phone, with virtual office hours available for student organizations who need assistance with budgeting and spending.

FRATERNITY AND ducks
Fraternities and sororities are values-based organizations that focus on the development of members through leadership, scholarship, brotherhood and sisterhood, service, and building community among their members. These values form the basis of members’ college experience. Being a part of the fraternity and sorority community means holding yourself to a higher standard of commitment. It means being a part of a community based on shared values that works to support its members to be the best version of themselves and positively contribute to our world. It means being a part of a legacy for years to come.

I chose to join Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated because I wanted to be a member of an organization of like-minded African American women who value service to our communities and the enhancement of our younger generations both academically and mentally. Through my organization, I have had the opportunity to educate high school students in the college application process, promote women’s physical and mental health, and assist in making the University of Oregon community stronger and more inclusive for students of color. Along with helping others, I have had the opportunity to expand my network and increase my leadership skills. -Jyhreh Johnson, President of Sigma Delta Chapter

Living On Campus In the residence halls, you’re close to everything. You’ll meet friends and make memories that will last a lifetime. Excited for move-in? Here are some tips to get you started.
We’ll set you up with a bed, desk, and dresser or closet. Here’s what you should bring.
Don’t double up Check in with your roommate before you move in and compare what you are bringing. You’ll avoid bringing two mini fridges, and you can create a style for your room together!
The necessities Bedding (sheets, comforter, blankets, pillows), storage containers, hangers, small desk lamp, surge protector, desk supplies, laundry basket, detergent, toiletries, towels, and clothing for all types of weather.
Get around easily Bikes are a great way to get around. Bike racks are available throughout campus and secured bike cages are next to many residence halls. Make sure to bring a U-lock and register your bike online at project529.com/Oregon.
Optional, but a good idea Closet organizers, small fan, mini fridge (4.6 cubic feet or smaller), coffee pot, mattress pad, robe, shower caddy, shower shoes, cup, plate, bowl, mug, silverware, inexpensive bike, secure bike lock (U-lock), bike helmet, bike lights, and reflectors.
Bring home with you Decorate your room with a photo collage to remind you of home. Bringing a bit of home with you can really help as you get used to a new place, new classes, and new friends.
For emergencies Flashlight, batteries, and emergency supply kit.
Bring your rain jacket Ducks love the rain, and a nice breathable rain jacket is an investment that you won’t regret!

WHAT HAPPENED TO FALL SPORTS? By Skylar Anderson On August 12, the PAC-12 Conference, made up of 12 distinguished U.S. universities including the University of Oregon, announced that it will be suspending all sport competitions through the end of the 2020 calendar year.
?
One of the most challenging aspects of college athletic programs is that they’re stationed on university campuses, where an overwhelming number of COVID-19 cases are beginning to develop across the U.S. as thousands of students begin to return to campus. Due to this, UO fall sports such as football, volleyball, cross country and soccer have been canceled. The decision stems from the uncertainty for its athletes’ safety during the current COVID-19 outbreak due to the physical contact that athletes must encounter in both practices and competitions. PAC-12 did announce that it would consider reinstating competitions for the sports impacted by the suspension, but only if conditions improve by the beginning of 2021. University of Oregon President Michael Schill spoke on the matter: “Ultimately, our decision was guided by science and a deep commitment to the health and welfare of student-athletes. We certainly hope that the Pac-12 will be able to return to competition in the New Year.”
