The Global Opportunities Fair is a collaborative initiative hosted by the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages and the Lundquist College of Business (LCB). The event connects students with academic and co-curricular global experiences through partnerships with the Center for Academic Advising, Global Education Oregon (GEO), the Career Center, and other campus partners.

Bringing together academic programs, advisors, student organizations, career services, study abroad providers, and faculty, the fair highlights how international experiences and language proficiency can enrich students’ education and contribute to professional success across industries and sectors.

Whether you’re a Lundquist College student exploring global markets or a Schnitzer School student looking to apply your language and cultural skills in international business contexts, the Global Opportunities Fair is an opportunity to discover new connections, explore global experiences, and uncover pathways that bridge academics, culture, and career development.

Muslim philanthropy represents an important yet understudied dimension of charitable giving in the United States. This talk examines the landscape of Muslim philanthropy through an academic review of giving patterns, exploring how religious beliefs, cultural traditions, and institutional contexts shape Muslim charitable practices. It considers the role of Islamic philanthropic traditions, including zakat (obligatory almsgiving), sadaqah (voluntary charity), and waqf (endowment), alongside contemporary forms of charitable engagement through mosques, Muslim-led nonprofits, and broader philanthropic institutions. By synthesizing existing scholarship, the talk identifies key findings of new research, emerging trends, and gaps in the literature on Muslim American giving. It also considers the implications of these patterns for understanding religious philanthropy, strengthening nonprofit practice, and advancing a more inclusive and comprehensive study of philanthropy in the United States.

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:
