At the University of Oregon, we believe in the power of higher education as we continue to provide our students with opportunities to grow and change. As one of the primary instruments for upward mobility, a college education continues to close economic gaps in our society. We are proud of our work to support the future generation of global leaders find their paths toward greatness. This year, we welcomed an amazing new class of first-year students. Though we have been

admitting students since 1876, this fall we enrolled the most Oregonians in the history of the University of Oregon. We are also thrilled to be enrolling the most diverse cohort of first-year students—38 percent of our new students identify as a racial or ethnic minority. Our momentum was not limited to the entering class. In 2018, we embarked on a housing

transformation to revolutionize the eastern part of campus near Hayward Field. After demolishing outdated residence halls, we completed construction on two new buildings that join Unthank Hall, the first phase of the project. The final phase of this significant plan will be demolishing Hamilton Hall. I invite you to visit this part of campus and enjoy our newest dining option, Duck’s House, as part of PNW Public Market in Unthank Hall. I think you will agree that these spectacular buildings

Thanks to the generosity of Nancy and Dave Petrone, we have opened one of the country’s finest student financial wellness centers. Our colleagues who visited had a chance to see our center and learn about everything the UO has to offer. We believe that with the arrival of our new president, John Karl Scholz, the momentum will only

UNIVERSITY HEALTH SERVICES
EXPANDING EFFORTS
Reducing barriers helps students be their best selves, healthy in mind and body
THAT FOSTER FLOURISHING University Health Services (UHS) is a nationally accredited healthcare organization. We have more than 150 staff who focus on UO student health and well-being. Our multidisciplinary team has been busy this year with nearly 86,000 encounters for service. In addition to our medical, mental health, and ancillary care, UHS has many outreach programs and more than 200 students working toward the well-being of their peers. STUDENT SUPPORT AND INNOVATION This year, UHS expanded our services and worked to reduce barriers to students. We developed a mental health access team which allows students to drop in when they perceive a need for support. They are evaluated on the spot by a mental health professional. We also added an integrated behavioral health consultant to our medical team.

Increased capacity in staffing and funding opens doors for students The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships has worked hard to push student success by providing additional support in both staffing and funding, allowing us to better serve our students and their families. Our office hired four new financial aid counselors to advise students and provide outreach within the Division of Student Services and Enrollment Management. Acknowledging increasing workloads, we created four new senior assistant director positions. Our goal is that these steps will help us as we start preparing staff and campus partners for the first major overhaul of the FAFSA in forty years. On the financial aid front, our office secured funding to increase the amounts for nonresident scholarships. In addition, we have received approval to double the number of Stamps Scholarships for next year’s class. We continued to educate Oregonians about the PathwayOregon program by hosting four information sessions across the state this past year. To drive more opportunity for a college degree, we implemented two new programs this year—the

FINANCIAL WELLNESS CENTER The UO Financial Wellness Center team hosted the 2023 Higher Education Financial Wellness Alliance (HEFWA) Summit, where more than 300 financial wellness professionals assembled, representing more than 170 institutions. Our peer financial coaches were featured in two presentations at the conference, where they shared their experience and their impact on the UO community. The Financial Wellness Center launched its financial literacy podcast, reaching Ducks across the nation. Financial Wellness team members engaged 3,400 students through workshops and coaching appointments. In addition, 250 students registered for the program’s student-developed online Financial Literacy Course. The program has around 1,000 followers on Instagram, which has almost doubled since last year.

University Housing aims to provide a robust living experience through accessible and affordable state-of-the-art housing, dining, social, and academic programs for the entire student body to develop community leaders, innovators, and change-makers who will enrich the future. NEW UO PORTLAND CAMPUS Fall 2023 marked the opening of the NE 27th Apartments at the University of Oregon’s Portland campus. We are developing dining and retail, residential, academic, and student support services for undergraduate and graduate students at the northeast Portland campus. This includes Kiss on Campus—UO Portland’s first campus café. At UO Portland, we endeavor to provide accessible and learningcentered housing for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students, emphasizing career readiness, academic perseverance, and social well-being.

Student Orientation ProgramS
MOVING FORWARD WITH INNOVATIVE IDEAS
New orientation programming includes outreach, caring connections
We’ve continued to do the great work of orientation and added two new programs this year. Last year, our pre-college programs coordinator collaborated with George Middle School in Portland to develop a pilot program. The program provides information, support, and connections for students in the metro area who have been traditionally underserved and underrepresented in higher education. As we launch this year, we are partnering with two UO alumni, one who works with Portland Public Schools and one who directs a college and career readiness nonprofit. Our team will conduct several visits to George Middle School throughout the year and will eventually bring the students down to Eugene for a campus visit. We plan to expand this program across the greater Portland-metropolitan area in the coming years. Our orientation coordinator piloted a new student staff team to improve the experience for students staying in the residence halls during IntroDUCKtion, our in-person orientation program. The staff includes eight live-in student staff and one live-in graduate intern. This team provides specialized programming for introverts; late-night activities for all participants
