EUGENE, Oregon (Originally published May 4, 2015, updated June 24) – A cohort of 13 University of Oregon students have been awarded Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships to fund their respective Summer 2015 study abroad programs.

The UO now ranks twelfth nationally out of 332 colleges and universities across the U.S. in the highly competitive scholarship that helps students cover the costs of their study abroad program, research or internship.

UO international students have organized a vigil to remember the more than 7,000 victims of the Nepal earthquake and launch a fundraiser to help with rescue and relief efforts.

"We have more than 100 people who are coming for the vigil," says Anjani Lama, a UO international student whose village in Nepal was completely destroyed. "We have been working really hard doing fundraising for Nepal."

UO student Megan Garland has been selected as recipient of the prestigious David L. Boren Scholarship to study in China.

Garland, a double major in Chinese and International Studies, will study at Nanjing University for the first half of the year and participate in an internship related to international diplomacy the second half of the 2015-2016 school year.

We at the Office of International Affairs were saddened to learn of the tragic losses due to the earthquake in Nepal over the weekend.  

We offer our thoughts and prayers to anyone impacted by this disaster and are available to offer support to any international students who may wish to talk, or have any concerns.

The White House is charging the nation to take ownership in ending sexual violence with the “It’s On Us” campaign. It’s on us to ask for consent; it’s on us to prevent, it’s on us to intervene; it’s on us to support survivors; it’s on us to create a culture of respect and stop sexual assault.

This is a pivotal time at the University of Oregon.

With a new governing board, capital campaign and strategic planning effort, this great university is about to secure its rightful place among the institutions that embody academic excellence.

We welcome the next president of the University of Oregon, Michael H. Schill, JD.

Mr. Schill comes to us from the University of Chicago where he has been the dean and Harry N. Wyatt Professor of Law since 2010. We are ecstatic that Mike will join the University of Oregon community on July 1, 2015.

Sara Clark has been selected for the Collaborator of the Year award by the UO Career Center in recognition of her extraordinary collaboration and support of the career development of UO students and alumni.
