We at the Office of International Affairs were saddened to learn of the tragic and senseless violence that took place at Chapel Hill.  We stand in solidarity with our Muslim and Arab students in condemning these acts of violence and are available to offer support to any international students who may wish to talk, or have any concerns.

 

With sincere condolences,

Dennis Galvan
Vice Provost for International Affairs

UO anthropologist Lynn Stephen has received two significant professional national and international awards. In March of 2015 she will give the Michael Kearney Memorial Lecture at the meetings of the Society for Applied Anthropology in Pittsburgh. The award is for an outstanding scholar whose presentation will explore the intersection of three themes (migration, human rights, transnationalism) and with a specific focus on a contemporary issue or problem.

UO’s Steve Huter, director of Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) has been working as an international partner with AfChix, a mentorship program that promotes technology learning and careers for African women.

The goal of AfChix and AfNOG is to create a vibrant network of African Women in Computer Science and related areas for the purpose of supporting each other.
