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, descendants are citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, and continue to make important contributions in their communities, at the UO, across the land we now refer to as Oregon, and around the world.

HUMANITIES why.uoregon.edu/humanities

The humanities offer fundamental insights into the human condition as they are expressed in thought, on stage, paper, film, the internet, and through human communication.

Studying the humanities forms and deepens us as individuals, as citizens, and as contributors to society.

At a moment in history when the very nature of “truth” and “reality” are hotly contested, the humanities provide necessary insight into what matters in life, the character of civilizations past and present, and cultures and experiences that differ from our own.

New treatments for Alzheimer’s, more sustainable land management, faster secure computer networks— major scientific innovations don’t just pop up out of nowhere.

While the public might only notice the end result, in the natural sciences we know big breakthroughs are the result 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 experiment on 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 so we can share it with the world.

JOURNALISM AND COMMUNICATION why.uoregon.edu/journalism

Telling stories to inform, engage, and move people to action requires more than communication skills.

It takes the ability to think critically and strategically, the resilience to adapt to an ever-evolving media landscape, and the opportunity to practice it all in the field.

That’s why we anchor the knowledge gained in the classroom with supportive faculty mentors and active participation in award-winning publications, student-run agencies with real-world clients, working trips around the globe, and paid internships.

Movement, rhythm, history, and stories— the magic happens when you blend them all together. Habib, named Ghana’s best dancer in 1993, founded the UO’s Dema African Dance and Drumming Ensemble, which is open to all students, faculty, and staff.

HONORS COLLEGE why.uoregon.edu/honors

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.

In the Clark Honors College, you’ll take discussionbased classes with average class sizes of 16 students.

Our award-winning teachers work closely with tightly knit groups of students from every major, department, and school. The goal: foster curiosity, encourage an intense, creative exchange of ideas, and prepare for the world awaiting you.

TEMERITY BAUER MAJOR: BIOLOGY MINOR: CHEMISTRY HOMETOWN: COVELO, CALIFORNIA

As a member of the Round Valley Indian Tribes, Temerity was determined to channel her UO education into service for her community. In just two years, she’s become a codirector of the Native American Student Union, presented on a study with the UO Institute of Neuroscience, reestablished the UO American Indian Science and Engineering Society, and researched forced sterilization of Native American women. Her interest in addressing tribal health issues earned her the prestigious Udall Undergraduate Scholarship. Up next? Research at Harvard Medical School and shadowing doctors through the Four Directions Summer Research Program.

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

Your residence hall is your home. It’s a place to form friendships, explore your identity, and make memories. Our residence halls are designed to enhance your life on campus, with live‑in faculty members, study spaces, access to tutors and advisors, music practice rooms, and maker-hacker spaces. You can even choose to select a community that’s linked to your area of study, personal and cultural identities, or interests.

Satisfy your appetite Pizza or an açaí bowl? A comforting bowl of soup and a grilled cheese? Looking for something gluten-free and vegan? Or maybe you just want some coffee and a place to study. No problem. Our 14 dining locations offer you a place to kick back, meet up, hang out, and fuel up with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Or you can practice your own culinary skills in one of our community kitchens.

The UO recognizes the ongoing and recent 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

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 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.

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. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

This is where you come to explore, lean into life, be anything you want.
