Call to Action

Discover how global engagement enriches our entire campus community

The University of Oregon is coming together to celebrate International Education Month—a time to recognize the transformative power of global learning and cross-cultural exchange. Throughout the month, the Division of Global Engagement and partners across campus will host a series of events that showcase the breadth of international opportunities available to our community. 

This month is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. Whether you're a student exploring your next adventure, a scholar building international partnerships, or a faculty member integrating global perspectives into your research, International Education Month offers something for everyone.

Join us as we celebrate the diverse programs and services offered through Global Education Oregon (GEO), International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), and the Global Studies Institute (GSI).

Government Partnerships and Financing for Sanitation and the Human Right to WASH
November 4
5:00 p.m.

Access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services is a recognized human right and central to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal Six, which targets universal access by 2030. Yet millions living in informal urban settlements—projected to house roughly half the world's urban population by 2050—remain without reliable sanitation infrastructure. This it the first of three-panel discussions, one each quarter of the 26-27 academic year to address to engage with this topic. The discussions will specifically use the example of Container-Based Sanitation (CBS) which emerged in the early 2010’s as a scalable, affordable alternative form of sanitation which, in 2019, the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme formally recognized as improved sanitation, cementing its role in achieving SDG6.

Panelists:

Clarrissa Brocklehurst: Brocklehurst is an affiliated faculty member of the Water Institute at UNC. Brocklehurst was the country representative for WaterAid in Bangladesh, and a Regional Urban Specialist for the World Bank Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) in South Asia. Between 2007 and 2011 she was the Chief of UNICEF’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Section, overseeing UNICEF’s water and sanitation programming in 100 countries and playing a role in development of strategy and advocacy for the global water supply and sanitation sector. Brocklehurst is a member of the Board of Trustees of WaterAid UK and the Strategic Advisory Group of the WHO-UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program that tracks global progress on water and sanitation. She is a senior advisor to the global Sanitation and Water for All partnership, and works in a consulting capacity with several sector agencies. 

Nancy Ngao: Ngao is the Government Affairs, Policy and Advocacy Lead at Fresh Life, with extensive experience shaping partnerships, policy, and advocacy to advance sustainable sanitation in Kenya. She has led engagement with government and civil society stakeholders, translating policy and research into actionable strategies. Previously, Ngao worked with 4-H Foundation Kenya, ZanaAfrica, and KikeTele on community development, public health, and youth programs. She holds a BSc in Community Resource Management and Public Health from Kenyatta University. 

Sponsored by the Global Justice Program, within the Global Studies Institute.

We invite you to join us at our inaugural Korean Foundation-UO Pacific Northwest Korean Studies Forum. 

The Korea Foundation–UO Pacific Northwest Korean Studies Forum brings together scholars, educators, and researchers from across the Pacific Northwest to explore the past, present, and future of Korean Studies in the region. Hosted by the University of Oregon with support from the Korea Foundation, this gathering seeks to foster new connections among institutions across the Pacific Northwest while highlighting the region's longstanding intellectual, cultural, and transpacific ties to Korea. 

Through interdisciplinary flash talk presentations, collaborative conversations, and strategic planning workshops, the forum aims to strengthen regional partnerships, encourage the sharing of resources and expertise, and build a sustainable network for Korean studies. By bringing together scholars working across the humanities, social sciences, language education, and public engagement, we hope to create new opportunities for collaboration and help position the Pacific Northwest as a vibrant center for innovative Korean studies scholarship. 

We warmly welcome participants, students, and community members to join us in this collective effort to advance Korean studies and deepen understanding of Korea's place in our interconnected world. 

If you are interested in attending, we request that you register using our forum website, which also features our digital program, list of speakers, and directions to the Crater Lakes South room. Registration is free, and refreshments will be provided throughout the forum.

Studied abroad? Planning to? Wondering how the experience can actually help you in your career?  Join us for the Study Abroad Career Panel. Hear directly from UO alumni working across different industries about how employers view study abroad and how students can talk about their international experiences in ways that are meaningful to future employers.  

The conversation will center on one important question: If you were hiring someone, how would you want that candidate to explain the value of studying abroad during an interview?

 Students will hear perspectives on how to:

 • Talk about study abroad in an interview without sounding generic

• Connect an international experience to jobs that are not always internationally focused

• Identify the skills developed abroad that employers value

• Understand the kinds of follow-up questions employers may ask

• Avoid common mistakes when discussing international experiences

• Make the most of time abroad so you return with experiences you can use professionally

Whether you have already studied abroad or are still considering it, this panel will help you think more intentionally about how an international experience can support your future career.

Union Organizing Across National Divides: Palestinians and Jewish Israelis in the Jerusalem Bus Drivers’ Union
November 17
4:00–5:30 p.m.
Knight Library Browsing Room

Two leaders from a progressive Israeli labor union that organizes Jewish and Palestinian workers in joint unions will visit the University of Oregon for a four-day visit.

The union, "Power of the Workers," will send one Jewish and one Palestinian organizer from their union, who will talk about all of the aspects of organizing unions across those lines.

They will focus in particular on their experience organizing public transportation bus drivers in the Jerusalem area, where occasional anti-Palestinian threats or violence have been met by a series of one-day strikes in which Jewish and Palestinian drivers all stuck together. This isn't a simple kumbaya story, but it's impressive and instructive, and a little bit hopeful in a place where it's hard to find hope.

The speakers will be of interest to a wide range of students — both those interested in labor/economic justice, those interested in Isreal/Palestine, and those interested in organizing across national/ethical/racial lines more broadly.

UO Oxfam America Hunger Banquet
November 18
5:30–7:30 p.m.
Knight Library Browsing Room

Hunger is not an accident of nature, but a result of how resources get distributed. The UO Oxfam Hunger Banquet is an immersive event designed to make food distribution impossible to ignore. When you arrive at this event, you draw a card at random, and it will assign you to a high-, middle-, or low-income tier, in proportions drawn from current global inequality statistics. The event meal distribution will go like this: 

  • Twenty percent of guests are seated at tables and served a full meal. 
  • Thirty percent receive rice and beans. 
  • The remaining half sit on the floor with a small portion of rice and water. 

Nobody chooses their tier, and that is the point. After the meal, everyone comes together to talk about what they experienced and what can be done with it. Oxfam has been running Hunger Banquets for more than fifty years, beginning with the 1974 Fast for a World Harvest, when 250,000 people across the United States skipped a meal to take a stand against hunger and inequality. Since then, nearly a million people have attended one of Oxfam's Banquets. 

We are also running a campus-wide food drive. Everything collected goes to the Student Food Pantry. We encourage donations of non-perishable food items, including canned beans, canned proteins (such as tuna), spices, condiments, and holiday foods such as canned cranberry sauce. Other non-perishable food donations are also welcome!

Since 1974, Oxfam has been working with volunteers to create awareness of hunger and inequality. Oxfam Hunger Banquets give you the opportunity to make a difference, both locally and globally. They are volunteer-led interactive events that bring statistics about poverty to life.

RSVP for the event is encouraged but not required. 

UO Oxfam Hunger Banquet and Food Drive is sponsored by the Global Justice Project. This event is part of International Education Month (IEM) programming. View the full calendar of IEM events here: https://international.uoregon.edu/IEM.
