November 10
4:00–5:00 p.m.

Join us for an info session about the 2027 Global Sports Business Strategy study abroad program. The program will run between August 23, 2027 to September 11, 2027 in London. During this info session, we'll discuss planned activities for the program and answer questions.

This three-week Global Sports Business Strategy program at the GEO London Centre exposes you to international sports businesses and highlights business strategies and priorities for both U.S.-based sports businesses operating in international markets and global companies that engage with U.S. consumers. This program is an excellent way for a student interested in an international career to experience the possibilities of international markets in a firsthand and intensive immersion. It is important to understand how the cultural, social, and political context affects business strategies across core functions.

You will engage in a comparative exploration of sports business industries and markets throughout London and the U.K., engage with executives and staff from a myriad of international sport business organizations, participate in sporting activities and to experience other sporting events as spectators, and enhance your cultural understanding of the role that sport plays in countries around the world. You will gain perspective on your own native sport culture in comparison to others around the world, which will help you become a more informed and insightful professional.

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.
